The BEST Hip Mobility Exercise for MMA

[Elbottoo]

Blah blah blah, "static", "dynamic", a lot of fancy names for a standard basic kung fu stance. This is as standard kung fu as it gets. Its one of the first stances after the horse stance that you learn and its so basic, this stance appears in like almost every style there is.

mma retards stealing old ideas and reclassifying it to appear legit.

fail video come to training and i show u how do it in real , not this bulshit what doing u in video

[lflgilf]

I agree that these muscles are tight in general. But why not just stretch them for 30-40 sec each, every day? And concentrate more on each muscle group.

[xhighgearx]

@lflgilf This is dynamic stretching and conditioning. You're talking about static stretching, the little sister to dynamic stretching. If possible, you should do both as well as foam roll (or SMR) for extremely overtightened muscles.

[lflgilf]

@xhighgearx But original stretching (static) with gentle pressure and release technique, combine with plastic roll is the best. :)

Seems good, I will try this today, my main issue is internal range of motion, the external is ok almost 90degress, however I always get confused with external and internal, basically the range of motion important for side kicking, that is the one I am talking about, it is a big fat ZERO. I am interested in Kung-fu, but mainly I am a cricketer, and I cannot do much with this hip problem, so i will give this a shot, if you have more that target flexibility in particular, please let me know, thanks

[gammooo]

do you even lift ?

[RichardIsImmense]

Thanks definitely gonna try this

[LordShandor]

You seem horriblely inflexible and uncoordinated. The roids did you good though, nice build up top, legs need help though.

[lsg1982]

Good video, thanks man. Should you aim to get your rear as close to the floor as possible?

[ericwongmma]

@lsg1982

Yes, definitely - but don't round your back or raise your heel when trying to get your butt down.

[lsg1982]

@ericwongmma good advise man!! Just did a few sets in the gym and it felt good, even if I did get some funny looks!!!

[ctb619]

This is a great drill - thanks

[fisioxande]

This exercise is great! As a Physical Therapist, I would recommend it, especially for people who work all day long sitting around at a desk in front of a computer...

Just try not to track your knees over your toes so much (especially if you're just beginning to do this exercise, of if it's been a long time since you don't work out) and also not to "twist" very fast when you go from the "front lunge" to the "side lunge".

[guillermo68480]

Should your knees track over your toes that much? (i'm not the expert here) just seems a bit stressful on the joint. maybe wider on the lunge?

[ericwongmma]

@guillermo68480

If you've got no knee problems when doing so, do it... it's range of motion that you should be building strength up in.

[pampam71]

it feels awesome, my hips and i thank you :)

[john51880]

Just tried it. It feels great!
