Stretching

No you're not. In my case I'm often too lazy/demotivated to do it. I've got no one to blame but myself

Old fashioned way:

I used to do a few sets of mawashi geri onto a bag with an old belt tied round it.  That was the 'minimum height' and when I managed to get every kick above it without losing power I slid the belt up an inch ready for the next workout.

After a while I was kicking reasonably well on each leg, although I was still poor at full splits.

I found that method more useful than static stretching.

helloi

i was even thinking, to try and motivate myself more, it would be easier to post either stats or even pictures on how far I went down or how easier it was to kick a little bit higher.

maybe every week I might post something. at least then I would have to do the stretching!!!!

i know for street applications kicking to the lower regions is more ideal, but i always wanted to try the high kicks!!!

when i fist started out many years ago i was able to kick higher and was quite far down but now old age has gotten to my bones,joints and mind!!!

see you in  a week with details!!!
