- So many students and clients come to me about their tight hips when throwing kicks while training Muay Thai or Kickboxing. How do I loosen my tight hips? Do you know any stretches to help me throw higher kicks? Why don't I have any power in my kicks?
A good stretching routine is crucial to become good at throwing kicks in Muay Thai, Kickboxing, MMA , or martial arts in general.

Thnx
Thanks a ton for this handy summary! Really helpful
Finally, a stretch routine that works for me. Thank you sir, for sharing this with us!
Absolutely! thank you for the comment.
Day2. I'm in love with these, definitely going into my routine
Crazy effective I really feel it
I have one flexible hip (lead), able to reach shoulder / head and then the back hip i cant even get above waist 😅 I believe this has been a product of decades of amateur boxing and the side stance. An Argument is those adaptations, in my case unilateral flexibility and tighness in particular areas, make you more stable and stronger in that stance.
wow i absolutely love your content. very authentic, easy to follow instructions and comprehensive reviews. everything i have watched so far has helped me far more than any of the higher budget fitness guru videos i’ve been watching to learn as a beginner. i especially like this video and your videos on the dead hangs and inverted table. your channel is amazing keep up the good work
Thank you so much for the feedback. I truly appreciate that.
Thanks , I was Kenpo last year had a total Left hip replacement & my right hip socket is getting rotted , Muay Thai is ranked as # 1 Martial Art !
Thanks! Your stretching routine is very simple to follow!
😊🙏🏽
Thank you, a long awaited, well needed tutorial
I needed these! Thank you!😃

Thank you for the feedback. Please feel free to watch the other videos in the series or playlist. They all hit different aspects and needs.

A tip i found for the first stretch sitting in your heels, do it on your bed. Its a lot easier this way.
Thanks!
🙏🏽
Great video sir, I loved your simplicity and explanation. I will put that in my routine ! Thanks.

Thank you very much. I appreciate the feedback. 🙏
This is actually amazing!
🙏🏽
Love it, awesome!

Wow! This really looks like exactly what I need. I can do Asian squats for short periods of time but have had trouble going lower, and watching this video makes me think I'm not warming up my knees enough. Thank you so much!
🙏🏽
Thank you very much Sir from Rome
Thank you for watching and for the comment. 🙏
Thank you
🙏🏽
Wow those are very nice stretches and i need to do them now. I’ve used some of those una different way from training in Kung Fu. Yes I’ve trained in Kung Fu and i was never taught stretches I’ve learned some of them on my own or told by Asian friends how useful and beneficial the Asian hang out squat is for Kung Fu practitioners. You make awesome videos bro. Also I learned Muay Thai from Master Toddy’s school
Thank you very much for the comment and feedback. I truly appreciate the support 🙏🏽
Legend 💪🏼
🙏🏽
I've seen a ton of stretching videos, but none address the actual places I need the help like this one. Absoutely the best one I've seen. Only thing better would be a companion video that you follow along with so I don't need to pause between stretches.
Thank you very much for the feedback. I have made several follow up videos. There's a full playlist on my channel. Please feel free to check it out. I hope they all help.
if i did these back when i practiced capoeira, lord knows. great material. if my roundhouse kick gets higher than normal, thanks in advanced!
🙏🏽
I started training in muay thai whiling being over weight (still am, but better) and this routine has been invaluable to me, thank you sir.
Great to hear! Thank for sharing and for watching and commenting. 🙏🏽
The algorithm overlords brought this video to my feed. And I'm grateful!
these tips will be utilized in my next sessions.
About 30% of them I've already been doing, but I definitely learn some new ones herebas well.
🤘😎
Glad it was helpful! 🙏🏽
Definitely want another video on this!
Happy to provide. If you go in the description of this video there is a list of others we’ve made or you can go to the playlist of these videos as well.
I hope you enjoy all of those as well. Thank you for the comment.
@@Krufessor_RadI've only done some of the tips from this play list for two weeks. I will say the roundhouse drill video has been extremely helpful so far as I do two of those daily. The strengthing videos I'm currently experimenting with the side lunges for my adductors strength exercises routine.
@@scw1980 That's awesome. I hope they all help.
thank you so much these stretches are awesome! today is my first day adding them to my routine and man they kicked my ass! my hip mobility is terrible cuz i have scoliosis and one hip is raised higher than the other
Thank you for comment. I'm so glad it helped.
nice
Dope routine! I need this 🙏🏽 what about hip workouts?
Here's one of my playlist where I post tips and drills for stuff like that. Please enjoy!
th-cam.com/play/PLhCW6OyFX6_00WrjBL_3qkj8l4s1_cA_2.html
Looks really good, thank you for the video.
Should I stretch every day or every other day?
Every other day would be fine. I do it 3 to 4 times a week, but I have other stretches I do on the others days.
Those videos are in the video description
More stretching videos please!!! Thank you
Have you watched all three videos that are currently on my channel? I’ll keep making them, but don’t want you to miss out on what we already have there. I’ll probably create a playlist so they’re easier to find.
You don't need "more stretching videos", you need to be stretching. You don't need more information. You need to get started with some stretches and make gains on those.
dont forget to engage the luscles while stretching. verry important
Yea bro from boxing now doin jiu jitsu next back to muay thai
Awesome
What are great stretches to do if you have an Anterior Pelvic Tilt? I am cautious what to do for exercises but my core & glutes are getting stronger!
I'm not one hundred sure, but check out the playlist attached to his video and I have an entire inventory of stretches and exercises I use. I've had to try a lot of things to see what would be the most beneficial for my issues.
Please make a longer follow along version of this!
I've created many of such. Thank you for the request. Please see the attached playlist i noted description.
Perfect, I didn't realize before I commented. Thanks for the response (and being 3 steps ahead with the videos already done) 😀
Followed along today, hips felt looser straight away, will continue to do this everyday now and come back with my
Results 💪😂
I hope they help. We have another video with some more stretches to help. It will release next week. Keep an eye out and keep us posted.
Update?
Whats the update
update
Id be surprised if you remember
Finally! Effective stretches to improve my hip & pelvis mobility! Thanks mate, cheers 🍻
😊🙏🏽
Great video man, tryed it out for a few days now and ill be putting these in into my routine for sure. Only got a few questions, how many times a week its best to do these? And is it better to do this before ur training or its better to just warm up train and do the stretches after?
I do them before and after and I stretch any day I’m training.
Now I don’t do these exact stretches every time. I have an entire playlist of videos with various stretches to help in various ways and I alternate all those different stretches day to day depending on what I’m trying to hit.
Check them out. I hope that helps
@@Krufessor_Rad thanks for ur reply, i already watched some of ur other vids and implemented some of those stretches to my routine too and switch it up a littke every time. But i still got 1 question left. Evrery day after i stretched it feels even more tight than before thats always the case or do i overstretch it than?
I’ll be starting Muay Thai soon, is this stretching routine pre training or post training? Thanks!
Either or. Before or after. 😊🙏🏽
❤❤❤
Question: if i can do leg raises above my head but cant round house up to head (hip restricts me). Will this help me do easy high kicks?
This and a lot of other stretches. I have a lot of videos on my channel with a lot of different stretches and mobilities drills and exercises to help with your roundhouse kicks. It’s never one set of things. It often trying a lot to find what can truly help you specifically. There are playlist with all those videos.
I hope they help 🙂🙏🏽
That's quite what we do in Muay Thai every day, good video dude
😊🙏🏽
Sometimes you look at someone and you're just like "yeah that guy could probably kick me in half"
😊🙏🏽
Thank You Brother for recognizing the ASIAN SQUAT 😂😂😂😂😂 keeps us all flexible lol
😊👍🏽🙏🏽
started muythai last week and was looking for a video did this stuff for like 20s each and i feel so much looser Thank you.
check out all the other videos on the playlist with other stretches and strength training to improve your hips for kicks.
Great vid how many sets of these exercises ? I’d guess just 1 for beginners ?
Yes. That is correct. Then you can progress to your comfort from there. Thank you for the comment and question.
@@Krufessor_Rad no problem dude you’ve been a big help
Would these exercises help to increase my hip rotation during a right straight punch?
Yes. they help with hip rotation overall. There’s a series of videos I’ve linked to this one. All of them are designed to help with flexibility and hip mobility. Try them all some work better than others for people. 🙂🙏🏽
Je remercie le génie de mes amis, pour après explication les revoir et avec mon gain F.
thnx so much!
im learning footwork for boxing and im actually pretty flexible,
but my hips are killing me 👻
cant even walk properly the day after training 😂🤣
Be sure to do the necessary recovery. But i hope this helps. Please feel free to watch all the videos as there are several other stretches and drills. The links are in the video description
Good but very hard for beginners
filipino ftw. Thanks for the advice
😊🙏🏽
What do I watch fur actual stretching I have bad flexibility
There are myriad of stretching videos online. I'd search for things in the areas you struggle with.
Is those for before or after
Whenever you’re inclined to do them. But I do them multiple times a week.
my hip is tooooo unflex
& icant hit dead with legs
even mid roundhouse kick is hard for me :D
I have been releasing a series of videos in an effort to help people with that. No guarantees, but I've used these techniques with my students and they've helped a lot.
The links to the videos are in this videos description and the playlist is on my channel.
Maybe some of them could help.
it’s better to do stretch befor training or after?
it really depends. Sometimes doing it before can weaken the muscle if you're strength training. Some believe. You can do it after, but if you're tight you should never stretch tight muscles. You should loosen them first by rolling them and then you can stretch them. I generally gauge if I need to stretch beforehand to get through the training, or if I feel the need afterward.
For striking I always stretch beforehand or I cannot kick very high. That's just me.
Thank you🙏
after i kick, when i bring the leg back down, i get this snapping sensation and noise in my hip, hope this helps
Take a look at all the videos in the series so far. If one routine doesn’t help another might be better. The other videos are in the description
I don't know why it is just for muay Thai and kickboxing while It can help with other martial arts
Man when I extend my leg I can hear a pop right on my groin. Both legs
it could be your joints, but if it's painful you should have it looked it by a medical professional.
Those with poor internal hip movement are not going to be able to do these right off the bat. You need to start with mastering the asian squat . What I am doing is squating next to a dresser to hold myself up and pulling my self onto my toes and then using my arms as little as possible to pull myself back up. It has taken me a couple months of regular stretching to be able to get down into deep into the squat and still have to hold on. A couple more and I think I will be able to barely do the squat unassisted. Don't take get lazy like I have. Your muscles just snap back right to where they were. 😅
Theo Von if he did Muay Thai
Yooooooo

I’d like to know how to “work with it” to get my butt to my heels. That is my biggest problem. I’m 55 and I train TKD. Im flexible, but my hips are like, hold up, lady! Thank you!
There’s a playlist on my channel with severs other vids that will help out I think.
Take everything in stride and be consistent. You have to ease your body into these positions and many of them may take a little longer.
@@Krufessor_Rad Thank you! 😊
@@Tzippi 🙏
Pas fastoche. 😘
How long will it take to kick someone in the face?
depends on your training. It's more than flexibility. It's the techniques you're being taught and how you are learning and applying them. focus on honing the kicks you can comfortable throw right now and work your way up from the ground.
Kick them while they are seated and you can probably start today.
🤌🏾
Its not really my hips. My lower back is mostly the issue
That’s been an issue for me for a long while as well. I have put a few videos out on that. Dead hang, stretches, etc. There is a connection. Many stretches I’ve used for my hips, hip flexors mainly, has helped my lower back.
This only gets u so far u need to do mobility work not just static stretching
Yes. You’re absolutely right. That’s why there is a serious of videos listed in the description and we are doing more. Not only is there much more needed. Different routines work for different people.
Thank you for the comment. 🙏🏽
you kinda remind me of Theo Von
Why did i watch this im a boxer
External hip rotation mobility is absolute key to gaining power in your punches. Same as for kicking high.
Do not do this does not work
It takes time so it does work
Thats indian toilet position 😂
You got insta bro? Would love to hyu and ask sum questions
yes sir. It's in the description of the video. Krufessor_rad
