Hei I’m a pro kick-boxer heavyweight from Spain , I would like to get an online training program , is that possible?

[@marianoperez8079]

Your channel has everything anyone could need to train like a badass. My respect and most appretiation for all of your work, Phil. You are the best, man! 👊

[@ouziou1]

I dont understand why itis so underrated in mma. Mobility is a must have in whatever you do. Your first opponent is your body. If your muscles are tight you cant generate more power. If they are tight you will have to contract other muscles to compensate and get tired easier. Finally if your shoulders lean forward they prevent you from spreading your chest and breathing properly. All of that is from my personnal experience. My coaches never told me about that eventhough they are on highevel competition.

[@robbielarney3442]

Thank you for the insight. Good comment. :)

[@houstontaylor9329]

Impressive. Explained in a calm, simple manner that was easy to understand. Makes me comfortable that i could do that.

1 of the most important video ...high kicks can damage spine if we are not conditioned properly Thanx phil

My right kicks are so fluid, but my left kicks feel like my knee cant be lifted above thighs 😂

Ouch that feels so good

[@jonguha7152]

wow so thank you !!! thank you for uplading without forgetting. thank you so much!!

[@osoo2011]

in my opinion the point is to succed doing a full split because that is like the closest thing of a high kick. If you can do a full split then you can kick high.

[@whatsup8464]

Nt really it just means one can stretch out ones legs while standing on one foot maybe?to perform an effective high round house for example..lots of movement plus twisting the hip into it while driving the leg forward rotating on the back leg and reaching to hit ones target are some of the points to look at before doing the splits can be compared to actually performing this kick...so I wudnt agree with your point although I can understand why you say this.. it does resemble the final let's say stance of a high kick...but to generate that kick with power is what is behind it...this would need to be practiced alot to effectively achieve the desired effect...nt to just be able to just do the splits means you could achieve it👍

[@LordFarquaad35]

Whats Up I agree with many of your points with regards to the high roundhouse kick. Kicking power comes from the ground up and with strong emphasis on hip rotation and strong a strong core to keep the leg up high. Although, I would say executing an axe kick is much more similar to a front split in many ways. You do not necessarily need to be able to perform the full split to be able to do this kick, however you do need to have a reasonable amount of flexibility for range of motion.

[@whatsup8464]

@@LordFarquaad35 yes I agree with you👍and a very effective kick wen performed correctly...pure flexibility is needed to achieve this kick

[@dennishuskic]

What do you think about shadowboxing with weights? Does it improve punching power in any case? What is it good for? Is it good for anything? Greetings from Germany 👊

[@PhilDaruStrong]

Dennis Huskic I’ve done videos on this in the past bands will do more for your punching speed then negative force displacement of a dumbbell it distorts mechanics and damages the joints

[@Jim2529]

it just works for shoulder endurance not power or speed, but there are better ways to train that, like Phil mentioned said this excercise have negative consequences

[@ashleybryant305]

A much needed video with good biomechanical awareness bro. What's your view on how/where to structure weight training surrounding a mobility workout? Would you dedicate a separate day or combine the two? It's something I feel is open to debate!

[@PhilDaruStrong]

Ashley Bryant I’ll do a video on it but true mobility training needs to be separated

[@ashleybryant305]

I'll look forward to it Sir.

[@danielchen3860]

Hey Phil, awesome vid as always. Just wondering how else you would replicate the same stretch as the one demonstrated with the reverse hyper machine? Thanks!

[@albaar401]

Do you think stretching makes your legs weaker or lose muscles or anything and I also saw a video talking about dynamic stretching is better for power because static makes it relaxed and weaker

[@michakalczewski3568]

Dynamic one is better for warmups, not increasing range of motion.

[@hamzaalouache8677]

Very good 🔴

[@ptrainingbytim]

Hey Coach Phil - do you think it would be ok to go through this mobility routine 5-6 days per week? Thanks for all you do.

[@PhilDaruStrong]

[@Jim2529]

Hey man, any reason why you didn't include dynamic stretches? For me compared to static stretches and mobility excercises they have had by far the biggest impact on my high kicking abilities. Thanks for the video.

[@LordFarquaad35]

Jimmie S. I was also wondering the same thing. Generally speaking a lot of traditional martial arts schools particularly karate and taekwondo place emphasis on dynamic as wells as static stretching such as front and side splits to gain/maintain flexibility for high kicks. I’ve been training taekwondo for over 12 years and have developed strong high kicks through regular static and dynamic stretches. When I made the move to kickboxing, the gym that I trained in almost did not place any emphasis on this kind of stretching at all and hence this resulted in a lot of the students having developed poor kicking techniques. That’s not to say every kickboxing or MMA gyms operate the same way but just what I personally experienced. Anyway, would be interesting to hear some else’s view on this.

[@ichsanbudifebryanto7239]

Coach, exercise for power low kick?

[@rauliuxaa]

This is epic, thanks! One question tho, all these exercises you said to do for 2mins, did you mean 1min each side or 2 min each side ? Thanks in advance!

Use this mobility after or before trening ?

[@chestersouth601]

Anyone got opinions on using Oly lifts or variations for BJJ/MMA I’m newly subscribed and noticing that our coach her doesn’t seem to favour them (from what I’ve seen)

[@PhilDaruStrong]

Chester South it’s not that I don’t favor them from experience it’s too technically demanding requiring a longer time to master a movement that takes them far away from specificity of skills training. Also most of the fighters are too beat up in the joints to allow for those movements to happen under load. We have to give the athlete the best opportunity to get physically capable of doing their sport with the most safest but yet effective exercises.

[@chestersouth601]

Phil Daru Thanks so much man, really appreciate the reply. I’ve spent a long time sucking at power cleans despite having pretty solid numbers in the Main movement patterns. If they’re not essential to improving my grappling I’ll likely switch out for some box jump variations I’ve seen you use in other videos. Keep doing your awesome work bro

[@himalayandream]

Hi Phil, do you suggest to do this routine BEFORE a "regular" mma workout?

[@arekusedelange3159]

I would say yes from my understanding because this is to allow for greater range of motion during practice so I would think you would do this after your strength work but before skill work well from what I can understand

[@jo3546]

Sports massage, yes painfull, yes annoying, but it's the best thing for you, then stretch,

The Psoas goes from the stomach to the back? The Psoas connects the femur (bone in your thigh) to the lumbar spine (lower back). Please make accurate statements.

[@PhilDaruStrong]

locodocowakaboko don’t misinterpret what I’m saying that it attaches to the spine down through to the femur but what I was trying to state is that it’s a deep muscle that attaches to the lumbar.. sorry for the confusion

[@mikelance7175]

I almost unsubscribed because this is a little ridiculous for kicking I used to be in taekwondo

[@LordFarquaad35]

Mike Hunt coming from a taekwondo background myself I was also a bit bemused myself at first after watching this video. However he does provide some good valuable points with regards to hip rotation and stretching/loosening of the adductors. I guess we need to take into consideration that his views are coming from an MMA background, not from a singular art like karate or taekwondo. Therefore style and training methods are slightly different.

[@trexbattle]

This is FUCKING DOOLE

[@khalil8043]

This is not how you get higher kicks,you might be good at strength training but you lack knowledge when it comes to kicking,next time bring a specialist.
