Re: great extent and flexibility in the hook kick/reverse roundh
Please correct me if I'm wrong. You ask for a workout to improve your strength and flexibility to enable you to bring your knee up close to your chest as if you were about to perform a lateral kick, such as a side kick or hook kick, and to perform a hook kick and a reverse roundhouse(also called spinning back kick, or spinning hook kick).
The answer to your question depends upon how fit you are. If you are very, very fit, isometric exercises for achieving the front and side splits will help. Read Stretching Scientifically. To understand what level of fitness is required for combat sports, read Article 19 (go to the main page and click on Columns). If you are not very, very fit, the core and lower body exercises shown in the DVD Secrets of Stretching will help you become fit enough to perform the isometric stretches. Also, before you can learn a hook kick and reverse roundhouse, there are many other skills you must master, for example, the more basic kicks like the front kick, side kick, and back kick.
