the secret to kicking high that no one talks about...

Today, I'm going to be talking about a key tip for kicking higher that I don't see anyone talking about. This missing ingredient will help with your balance, as well as raising your knee up so that you can kick higher.

    Thank you Donavan! You're right, this is not talked about and taught enough. I can do a pretty high side kick holding onto a wall but cannot get the same height once I let go of the wall. Also I have noticed that my supporting foot starts to hurt after a while. I think this could be part of the problem.... also I would love a video about how to do the Koryo double side kick properly :) Hope you are doing well!

    I'm 2 years late on this video but this is exactly the information I needed tonight. In fact, I think next time I'm teaching stretching this is going to be what I tell the kids about. Because some of them are probably not flexible enough to get into this position yet, But it's always good to know why we are doing these stretches.

    Hey Donavan! I like your courses... Really great stuff. But I have one question about the Sidekick. I see your upper body goes also down, but in my opinion a better looking Sidekick is, when the torso is more upright. Is a this more than genetics gifted or also a case of flexibility?

    Your body is a better teacher than anyone else will ever be. If you feel lots of pain one day...take a breather. If you're feeling a little sore, do just a few light stretches in the areas that feel sore to relieve some of the tension. Work up to stretching every day...but you may start with three or four times a week until your muscles are used to that kind of training :)
