TIPS FOR STUDENTS

Training tips for students

Developing Speed with Front Leg Offensive or Defensive Side Kicks and Hook Kicks can be also incorporated to this drill. Just swing the bag back/forward for the side kick:

Improving your speed with front leg Flip Kick/Snap Round Kick

 While standing in front of a Punching Bag while swinging left to right.

Time the bag as it comes to the center executing the kick, creating a pop sound, not stopping the bag but allowing the bag to continue his swinging trajectory.

Do 5 sets of 10 Reps with each Leg (Remember, front leg) back leg should retain 90% of your body weight. Do not step, or lock your base/standing knee or move your base leg as you execute the kick. Keep your head and body steady, no upward or downward movement. After mastering this kick without allowing your body to create the uo and down motion... add a Back Knuckle to the technique as you execute the kick. Good luck....

Special Tip 

Do not stop doing until the reps are complete, even if you reach muscle failure. If you reach muscle failure at an early stage of work out, start with 5 sets of 7 reps and so on adjust reps to your capabilities and work your way up. Enjoy, you will love it.

After the kicking drills, Do Isometrics, 3 sets of 5 reps with each leg, on a Side kick motion. Raise knee, extend leg, lock knee, hold for a count of 8, bring in slowly, place down...wait 10 seconds, repeat to the 5 reps. Then next leg.

Wait 30 to 45 seconds between sets.

Do not be afraid, your leg and bottom is going to feel a lovely burning sensation, that is good.... Kermit Gonzalez
