Paul - I am in my 40's - absolutely besotted by tkd. Have no problems with front split.....but would be lucky to get 90 degrees on box splits....cannot turn my hips out at all - makes my knees burn.. This is really affecting my progress for high reverse hook kick...side kick and most basic turning kicks....what muscles do I need to work on? Adducters? A

Could be lack of strength, could be flexibility. It's not possible to tell just from your description.

[thesweetdevilguy]

thats how bruce lee did it

Great video. I am 39 and have been practicing ITF Taekwondo for almost 3 years. I would like to know some good flexibility exercises for rotating the hip properly. The problems I have are all in the hip. Can you point me in the right direction?

[alisonware]

Wow! prompt reply. How can I ascertain which of these it is? Also, worth mentioning - during high side kick - 1 yr ago pulled one of my 'deep 6' and ended up with piriformis syndrome....spent loads on physio,greatly helped...now going to gym to try and help strengthen this, as I still get 'burn'. As a 2nd question to the one above - can you recommend specifically how to deal with the piriformis? Kicks are sooo much lower since.... really want to sit my 1st dan at xmas! advuce on both pls

The suggestion to turn the supporting leg before execution (during chamber) rather than during execution can meet with criticism that some power is lost, but Paul makes a good point that all that torque on the knees can cause damage over time, and it can be after just months, not years. Then you've got a training injury for a small amount of extra power. It's also easier to coordinate the way he describes and demonstrates it.

Hey Paul, i find your videos very informative.....before i started watching them...a few weeks ago i threw a side kick with turning the supporting foot the otehr way at all. it was facing the same way when i executed it and brought it down...i have pain in my thigh maybe the hip flexor or something....this is effecting my kicks what should i do

[Elasticsteel]

Yes, for side line kicks.
