I used to do martial arts when I was little, but lately I've found that I lack the leg flexibility that I used to, and now my kicks look really sloppy, and really lack some of the explosive power I used to have.
I'm still really young 22. But, its like I'm having a REALLY hard time with my left leg roundhouse kick. And, an EVEN WORSE time with my left leg side kick.
For some reason I can't really control my left leg side kick, I can't seem preform the kick the right way with that leg. I'm unable to strike with the blade of the foot, when I try to do it my foot just goes sorta flat, sorta side ways, but sorta diagonal with my toes kinda pointed up, and its like I can't really control it the way I can with the right.
I believe my lack of flexibility is a MAJOR factor. Does any one know any good leg stretches that I can do every day to improve my kicks, so that I can kick higher, and gain better control ???
Does anyone know what specific muscles are utilized with these kicks, and know how to develop their flexibility, and what I can do to improve my coordination, especially with the left leg.
I would REALLY appreciate a stretching routine that could be used to improve my martial arts kicking ability. Something that I could just do everyday.
Thank you!!!
