I have rcently started doing dynamic leg raises to increase the height on my kicks. I am 15 and I have started kungfu about 9 months ago. I didnt have high side kicks so I read some of Mr. Kurz's articles on how to increase height on kicks. I ben my legs point my supporting foot away from my opponent, lean slightly forward and can almost touch my foot when I do them ( I suspect the problem lies there) but my hips still hurt. Also when I do touch my foot my hips click and I don't think that is so good. Please assist me with any help you can.
Thanx
I am sure I have done it all right but obviously not!

Which foot can you "almost touch" when doing this exercise?Saiyan wrote:I have rcently started doing dynamic leg raises to increase the height on my kicks.

Where do your hips hurt?
Can you describe this click you hear (where, when)?
Honestly, I don't think anyone is going to be able to help unless you are more specific about the problems you are having. I cannot visualize what you are trying to describe.
