What's up guys,
I've recently had a training session with a and he called out a mistake in my kick mechanics ☠️ I've been kickboxing for years but a common mistake I STILL have at times is twisting too much with my hips and not bringing up my knee enough when I throw my kicks. It's not as bad as it used to be, but still can be an issue in telegraphing kicks and having poor technique.
It comes from lack of proper reps and when I had poor flexibility in my hips but now that my hips are stronger from all the mobility exercises I've been doing (trainings in the classroom by the way!) , I can actually start doing it the right way!
It's my current journey to reprogram my kick mechanics and I'll be sharing videos in my classroom for kickboxing on how to truly do it right and not make the mistakes that I've had! 💯
Here's a comparison shots of how my friend throws kicks with good form being upright and knee upwards (Right) and how I'm SLIGHTLY overtwisting the hip and my knee is more downwards (Left) .
What's something in your journey you're struggling with?
