Getting Your Kicks Higher Tutorial

[@blujoos]

I have been training since 1985 in Tae Kwon do in the UK. I thought I was a pretty good kicker and knew all the exercises to improve it but you've just given me literally dozens of new things to try. I am inspired anew. Thank you Master Scher.

[@SimonScher]

[@SimonScher]

So a video of stretches beneficial for kicking higher?

[@waedjradi]

@@SimonScher Isn't that the basis of achieving a higher kick? From stretching the iliopsoas muscle?

[@samra321princess2]

[@3D_Creations_UK]

As a TKD student myself. Flexible for my age I found this a great CORE improvememt video also. I now referr to this clip now and then when I warm up before sessions. A kind of, which one shall I do today. Great upload. Thanks Buddy 👍

[@SimonScher]

[@3D_Creations_UK]

Simon Scher at 49. Years of core depletion. Thats why i took to this video. Its not just balance for me but helps the whole rebuild of internal groups thar have lapsed from years of being a couch potatoe lol

[@williamteager3784]

what length of tubing did you use for your post to kick over. sounds like I need to build one

[@luisframirez2]

3rd great tutorial. Subscribed!

[@SimonScher]

yay

[@hiepnguyenhoang832]

If I practice with only my strong leg and ignore the weak one, is it still effective for that strong one?

[@julialange1214]

❤❤❤

[@heavenlymitsubishi4192]

Where can I get one of those white T-bars that you're using? Can't seem to get anything with a Google search, or is it just PVC piping and connectors? awesome video!

[@mahmoudassyass186]

Very good stuff as always, but am afraid this video aren't for me HHH, I am not flexible at all !! Thanks, and keep the good work

[@rachidhassani7903]

[@SimonScher]

+Rachid Hassani A pleasure. i am honored that you liked it.

[@إسماعيلصبح-غ1ر]

Hi

[@DMLeBeau]

this is a great tutorial. my biggest challenge is balance. i do not have a good balance holding a kick. how often and how ling do i need to stretch during the day or week?

[@SimonScher]

+serdimay7 I recommend stretching every day for at least 10 mins, but 30 if you have the time. I suggest doing it after a good warm up like the one I just published. Stretching after a long sparring match is the best for increasing range of motion though. For balance, I recommend do ing the kicks high and cleanly on the barre and then holding it with fewer and fewer fingers and then finding you center without touching the barre but having it there to grab if you start to fall. when you can do this easily move away from the barre and kick harder and faster more and more times. Check out my side kick tutorial, I go into more detail on this process in that one. Good luck

[@emilianolopez4289]

Are you naturally flexible or needed you to develop it?

[@SimonScher]

Good question! Both. I have some natural flexibility but I spend a lot of time working and maintaining it. I still feel tight and struggle with certain angles too.

[@amvfightbrasil6236]

Please talk about the taekwondo trapping the close quarter combat

[@SimonScher]

+AMV Fight Brasil Will do.

[@TVTTaekwondo]

Hi where can i get a t bar from please

[@simonscher5413]

I made them using pvc pipe from Home Depot. It’s really easy. You just buy 4 smaller pieces and one longer one then you buy a t and a y connector. Put them together and you have it.

[@TVTTaekwondo]

Creattttttive genius

[@prasadkumar.1866]

I'm Indian in Telugu . sir your teaching explaing super lesen

[@alexandersvitych7638]

Thank you so much for all your helpful video tutorials. Taekwon.

[@SimonScher]

+Alexander Svitych A pleasure so glad that you liked it Taekwon!

[@philips3131]

Can you purchase the tbar from anywhere?

[@SimonScher]

I made the T-Bar from pipes I got at Home Depot. It was really easy and cheap. But you can use a chair, or stacked pads, or couch cushions. Really anything that is an obstacle to kick over.

[@luisframirez2]

Question: is it ok to hold on to the bar when practicing these kicking drills?

[@SimonScher]

absolutely. you can use the barre until your are comfortable with the kicks and then wean off of it.

[@HollowNekoTensa]

My problem with high kicks is that the side of my belly is pushing the leg down, any tipps for that?

[@SimonScher]

+Hollow Tensa There are a few options. push on the leg harder so that it pushes the belly to the side, Lean back a little, Or try and decrease the size of the belly. I had the same problem for a while and for a quick fix I found that Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred work out video decreased my belly size in under 30 days.

[@abdulshakuryusuf3510]

Wow! How long it took you to do the splits?

[@SimonScher]

It took about 3 months to get there. I did it when I was about 10 years old and have not let a day go by where I have not done them at least once. The trick is to practice often, push yourself to the point of extreme discomfort, but not pain, and to be warm before you stretch. I have several videos on stretching and increasing your splits.

[@abdulshakuryusuf3510]

+Simon Scher thank you.

[@AparatorulPoporului]

nice info, i want the splits for kyokushinkai...

[@SimonScher]

thank you so much. I also have a stretching tutorial and an extreme splits tutorial on this channel. Good luck on your splits journy

[@shanerooney7288]

[@SimonScher]

Thanks so much! I am glad you like it. What is holding you back? stretching or technique?

[@mohammedmrabet6250]

good but your training is not for beginners

[@jefferson30121989]

the korean flag is upside down dude

[@SimonScher]

Thanks for the heads up, but it is actually not. The flag I received and put up was printed incorrectly. If you look closely the Yin Yang is printed upside down. But don't worry I have a new flag up at the school now.
