Why does my hip hurt on the opposite side to my kicking leg when i execute the turning kick? Its almost unbareable!

[lhofbauer]

pjc5150 I had the same problem for many years and I found out if I stretched and warmed up my hip sockets before training it made a big difference. Also make sure to pivot your base leg and don't throw powerful kicks ( or punches )without using a heavy bag or focus shield I know this first hand I have a knee that bothers me from kicking just in the air without a target for 18 years hope this helped .

Good Luck In Your Training

@pjc5150 Hmm, I think that happened to me when I first started training. Now it doesn't. Apperantly im now a natural at them, and my grading examiner thinks im the best in the class (except for the black belts!!) And im only yellow belt

Old style round or turning kick.

[dangkoen]

@lhofbauer Yes, you are right. I also started to question if we should deliver so much force during patterns. Offc u have to be a bit convincing, but not at the cost of your body. Imo, when doing a turning kick in a pattern one should thrust the hip into it. Cz when u do, it becomes a power kick. We don't want that offc. But in the heavy bag, u indeed want the hip thrusted along with the leg. U are free to correct if I'm wrong, it's just my opinion.

@ShaneIE1

I don't even remember watching this video. But he dose have great control. The instep would be the only thing wrong with this kick. This would be good for tournament sparring, but not patterns.

[ShaneIE1]

@Fingyfin SO have i and this is one , i trained in ITF taekwondo for many years and i know for a fact that the striking tool with the turning kick is the ball of the foot and NOT the instep like this guy is using, hes also focusing more on height than power

[minitari]

u just said it. your opponent has moved back giving you time to recover and your not really that off balance its a really easy kick to do with practise

[wally2296]

Then that means you need more training.

[fuckliao]

EXPLAIN: what if opponent moves back and you miss. you're gravely offbalance.

[Fingyfin]

I've seen allot of crap turning kick vids on youtube.

THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM

WELL DONE!
