Kick Higher without Flexibility | Karate Training Drill

[@jessmurdoch8451]

Perfect! Exactly what I needed and didn't realise I did! Now just to find something at home to use to hold my foot.....

[@KaratePlaybook]

That's awesome to hear! Glad you liked it. something I forgot to mention in the video is that you can do the same drill from kneeling and put your foot on a chair.

[@riyasaah]

AWESOME. your channel is full of helpful videos. man I need this. Why don't our dojo ppl teach like this. you're awesome. I've become a fan of you and your videos. Please keep making more videos like this. Lots of love n respect 🙏

[@fernandobazo6369]

Excellent and a simple explanation!!! I am lock at 45 degrees when I am raising my leg (side kick position) so I will try this exercise ….

[@jro558]

Great stuff Nick! While my flexibility is pretty decent, I am always looking to increase leg strength with compound movements and accessory work. Squats, deadlifts, and lots of lunges are my go-tos to keeping these wheels workin:)

[@KaratePlaybook]

Thanks Jessica! If you try these, let me know what you think. 😁👍

@@jro558 so you liked it? 😁 We ran this in our last class, so much fun!

[@jro558]

@@KaratePlaybook Yes I did! Resting your foot then lifting off forces you to use every muscle to lift your leg - no way to "cheat" your way with momentum on this one:)

It helps so thanks

Glad it was helpful. 😁👍

My first martial arts is Taekwondo but currently starting in karate. Could I use all Kicks I have learned before in a kumite? More blessings on your channel. Very very Useful.

[@KaratePlaybook]

I actually started in Tang Soo Do (also a Korean style) before Karate. Kicks will be similar with some modifications. For instance the round kick is less of an upward 'cutting' kick and more horizontal most of the time. Axe kicks are often against the rules in Kumite (depending on organization and how the kick is thrown). Hope this helps! Happy training! 😁👍

Their no time to stretch when bully comes to kick ass

[@KaratePlaybook]

That's very true. That is when the bully's knees come in handy :)

[@Luketradesforex]

Don’t head kick, they will simply grab the foot, go old school and sock him in the face with your hand ,

[@Pinapple-fo7sv]

@@Luketradesforex very true, however, if you are fast enough, a single kick to the jaw would do more damage than multiple punches. But in almost cases I agree.

[@Luketradesforex]

@@Pinapple-fo7sv someone tried it to me before (i also do martial arts so i can comment on this lmao ) i just grabbed his foot and kicked out his other one, and he was pretty fast aswell, but i agree if by chance you land it it’s gonna do damage

[@Pinapple-fo7sv]

@@Luketradesforex yeah, face kicks are risky but can be rewarding.

[@damianlyman5783]

Yes. EXCELLENT!!! I like to kick so this will go a long way

Ii cant kick high ..when i turn my heel back and chamber my knee gi down ...i stretched a lot but nit much improvement...but somthing weird when i put my leg on high desk my legs go high without having bone to bone

[@sayukdabeast2108]

Can you teach drills for chop kick or front kick?

[@KaratePlaybook]

Hey Sayuk! Thanks for the suggestion. To be 100% honest, although I can do the Chop/Axe Kick, it is not something I train much and I don't want to teach anything that I don't train much.... Front kick on the other hand, I have a great training drill for that. Let me see what we can do :)

[@sayukdabeast2108]

@@KaratePlaybook Thank you

[@z3r0c00l2]

Ok ... Well understood but what if you are very stiff ... And can't kick high or feel pain

[@leroylawrence2773]

It’s been years since I’ve trained & I’ve literally lost my flexibility! Speed & power, I still kinda have, but flexibility & height I’ve lost! 🙁 Basically I’m lazy now!

[@ramontrongoy7237]

Idol good am..

[@poiused]

The back of my butt isnt strong enough I guess lol it hurt

[@sayukdabeast2108]

You can split doesn't mean you can kick high. However, you can kick high without flexibility

[@KaratePlaybook]

Exactly. I know many people who are much more flexible but can't kick high due to lack of leg strength.

[@sayukdabeast2108]

@@KaratePlaybook Yeah, it's true

Do a double front flip

You need to train for it.

[@genalyjosol8739]

My punches are speedy but my kicks aren't that good thats why I'm practicing to kick especially the hook kick

[@KaratePlaybook]

That's all we can ever do. Find something we're not good at and work like crazy to get better. Keep up the good work and happy training!

[@amandachaney9375]

I get a cramp in my leg when I lift it to high

[@terencehill3972]

Could a certified physiotherapist and a trained fighter please double-check the information

[@kuda_humphrey]

Is there anyone who actually did these drills and improved?

[@KaratePlaybook]

For what it's worth, I definitely did.

[@user-lu8qi1py1o]

Height is might.
