Stadion's Sports and Martial Arts Training Discussion

actually i was directing it at johndela1. I just dont see the point in re-opening such an old thread about something that happened years ago.

why are you responding to a thread from 2.5 years ago. its hardly relevant now.

just concentrate and focus on keeping the foot pointing forward. you will lose height at first but persevere.

I was working on my roundhouse Kick last night experimenting with a few foot positions after watching the Power High Kick Video from Stadion. I have always struggled with the height of this kick but realised last night that I have probably been overturning my hips all these years - worrying too much...

I seriously doubt that kicking with a cord will do much improvement. Just a marketing hype. "Hey, I got something new out there, buy it, it will help you" have you actually tried them?? I doubt it. They are very good for improving the strength/power of your kicks because they provide resistance thr...

I would be interested to hear if anyone has started dynamic stretches with average or even poor static flexiblity yet still seen vast improvement. I was under the impression that you can only attain dynamic flexibility within your current static range of motion. I have however heard from some people...

If I was to do only Adductor Flyes, progressing to using them with ankle weights would my flexibilty increase i.e. would my legs drop further down in the flyes - because I am strengthening them in a stretched position??. Or would you still need to work on increasing your range of motion i.e. stretch...

Ok i'll try and specify. I want to know a warm up exercise that with help with the tension after knuckle up? As my arms are normaly stiff for a while after. So Is there any that can warm the muscle properly before and after? Also so that really help loosen the stomach area as i have proplems with s...

you really need to spend a little time searching as this has been asked a million times. people are more likely to help you if you can show you have done at least a basic search and need some clarification.

your warm up should take 5-10 mins. the purpose being to raise the core body temperature. i dont know why it is taking you so long. perhaps you are focused to much on static stretches and not on dynamic for your warm up.

Take care

listen pal, your new here. when you have contributed something more than a couple of posts you can start having a go.

Wynnema, nevertheless I gave a wrong advice. If I think better, I didn't gave an advice, I just said what I am doing, my program. But a wrong advice must be pointed out. And yes, I do most of times the isometrics without any warmups. And it has worked for me well. maybe so, but it can be done polit...

Don't beat yourself up crazyboy, although I have a lot of respect for Kurz's he sometimes comes across as nothing more than rude. I wouldnt worry about it and dont apologise, you are the customer here.

you just stand there as long as possible?

do you hold dumbells or justy rely on bodyweight?

Thanks, I understand what is muscle soreness I just didn't know that's DOMS. I can only say from my experience: best method is isometrics with weights, but if you don't tense hard (just enough to stay in the position of course),than spend more time in that position. yes I think Pavel advises that a...
