Hi Paul! What if I invert or revert the foot on purpose to do leg raises?Can I do that exercise? I notice that that stretches different muscles which may be something good; I've been doing that for sometime, and I got very surprised when you published that video.

By the way, what martial arts do you practice?? Very curious to know!!

[Elasticsteel]

Dh, there is no point to move your foot. If you want to rotate the hip and allow the foot to point out, that another story. Some dancers do this and some martial arts styles do this for turn out kicks. If you are not conditioned for it, you can end up injured.

[tyciol]

I notice when you say 'dynamic' at around 6:22, this is like a 'dynamic-passive' as opposed to left lifts which are more like dynamic-active right? I sort of do gentle rocking forward and back too like pulsing, but we need to be more careful since it more risks becoming ballistic right?

[Elasticsteel]

It's not so much about dynamic or balistic. It's more about An intention of keeping the foot from turining out, (which in reality is the hip turning out) the inverted foot visually compensates for the hip rotation.

[Elasticsteel]

Enjoy the journey and you will.

[Kwond0o]

Yes, I hope so

[tyciol]

Everting is odd, I tried doing that consciously and it sort of takes an effort, I'd like to understand what kind of tensions make this happen to people. In contrast, I find the base foot is what tends to evert when I lift the other off the ground since you can sort of over-lean to one side.

[Elasticsteel]

There is no set number.

[drunkenmaster1605199]

Thank you very much for this video. I often have this problem with my right foot... your video is very well explained and useful. Thanks again!

[Elasticsteel]

Glad to help.

[Kwond0o]

( This exersice is so good, )

But it really hurts when i stretch .

When is it going to stop hurting, i mean how many weeks do i have to stretch until it stop hurting?

[Elasticsteel]

That really depends on how tight your rotators are. Try it for at least a month and see.

[Kwond0o]

ohh ok,

Thank you!

[Dh4m13l]

Hi Paul! It happens to me that the right foot is square but pointing to the right a little bit, I mean, as if rotated from the hip, I know the problem is in the hip because when I try to stretch forward that's where I feel it apart from on the hamstrings. Also, when I am standing and lift my leg slowly and straight there's something clicking, I don't know if lower back or hips, can I fix it? I purchased the kicking combo and I'm way to happyyyy!! I'll put you in my altar!! Thanksssss!!!!!!

[Elasticsteel]

Thank you for your support.

You are not inverting your foot, but still turning out your hip. This is due to tight outward rotators. Work on stretching the outward rotators, that will help with the poing to the right and may help with clicking as well.

[o0FreakinStein0o]

my foot dosent do that, i can lift both and they stay sqare, is that because you train and i dont??

[Elasticsteel]

If someone trains correctly, they would not have this issue. Also not everyone who trains will or will not have it. For the people who do, it is important to know why they have it and how to correct.

[11thai]

been looking over your videos you have inspired me,on the prepatory excerices for you seminare how many weeks do you do these exercise for before you ready to do the seminare, and when is your next online seminare?

[Elasticsteel]

Thank you for your comments.

The seminars start every month. If you can do 4 week of preparator exercises 3times a week, it would be good.

[slipkmot]

One question... a guy with 20 years old, no flexibility at all (he cant open his legs more than 90º) can he get to do splits if he follows your training method? is there any guarantee that he may be able to do something like that...?

[Elasticsteel]

Many people have achieved.

[slipkmot]

thanks... ill tell him theres still hope for him =)

[tyciol]

Nobody can ever make a guarantee, but nobody has guaranteed he can't so he should totally go for it! I'm 22 and I plan to get splits.

[Xplodz]

Are you going to do a video about flexibility so you can kick your toe to your forehead?

[Elasticsteel]

A toe is not a good point of impact and the forehead is not the best target. ;)

[Xplodz]

Haha I meant the toe to forehead stretch kick or dynamic stretch. You don't actually kick your forehead but it comes very close.

[Pearator]

I like how you present. Make a point, explain a point, present solution. Boom.

Great stuff.

[Elasticsteel]

Thank you for your comments.

[avionini]

I was always wondering about that. No one could explain it. I will do the exercise that you show. Thank you for another great video.

[Elasticsteel]

You got it.
