hey guys don't know if any of you remember me....... anyways, I've just started kickboxing! On my first lesson I nearly died (I didn't bring water). My instructor (don't know his name yet, will find out soon) is or was world champion! Does anyone know any ways of improving my kick? yestuarday I spent an hour on my mates bag. My hamstrings are killing me! I'm trying to rest my leggs as much as I can this weekend jus incase I pull a muscle. has anyone got any good streches to improve kicks or any links? (form link even) One strech I did was putting my legg up on partners shoulder (straight legg, foot flat). I seriously thought I was going to pull something. I've already got a good boxing background and I'm pritty fit (weights 5 times a week), so how long will it take b4 I get a chance to compete? plz reply -matt
1/ There are several articles on Kicking in the Articles section, and in the forum magazine. 2/ See above. Also run some searches on 'Kurz' and 'Pavel'. 3/ I would imagine your Instructor will want to ensure you have enough of a standard to compete safely. It will also depend on the standard of competition your Instructors organisation is capable of organising. There are more Kickboxing world champions than you can shake a stick at. Come back to us and let us know what Governing body he is under. Thought you were training Ju Jitsu?
What did you get from/think of information in the Articles and Magazine sections Matt? Did you run the searches I suggested?
