In order to get used to the pain of stretching and also see results in the stretching itself you need to get your body accustomed to doing it every day. So prepare yourself mentally for that and be disciplined enough to actually do it. You can get down to doing perfect box splits but it will take time and patience. There are two ways to get better at this and you will need both. Stretching always hurts, no matter how you do it. This leads to suppleness that helps in the degrees of biomechanical freedom available to you as you ask your body to move. Every time you are trying to get your muscles and tendons to stretch a little bit more, go a little bit further. If you do not control your body, there is no hope of controlling anybody else’s long enough to beat them. Ultimately that is what being a fighter is all about. Tight hamstrings in your supporting leg mean that your balance is not quite right which will also affect the form of your kick.įighters who work on form, flexibility, tendon strength and muscle density end up being in total control of their own body.
If your hamstrings are tight you end up using a lot of the power of your kicking leg just to execute the kick so by the time your foot hits its target it hardly has anything left to deliver. If we stick with our turning kick example, in order for it to be fast and powerful you also need flexible hamstrings.
If your tendons are not strong enough the ‘heavy lifting’ is done by your muscles which means you use up a lot of your strength just to execute each move, dissipating its power.įlexibility is about degrees of freedom in your body. When you use a turning kick, for instance, you are partially using the strength of your quads and the speed of your body and your weight but none of that will really help if your side hip flexors are not strong enough to raise the leg without effort. Tendon strength is required for execution and muscle stability.
This builds up neurons in the muscles being worked that makes them more responsive so they are faster and they are stronger. Repeating moves helps create “form” which is another way of saying muscle memory. Neuron density is achieved through repetition. To understand why consider them in reverse order: There are three things that make a perfect fighter and they all work in a complementary manner in the end: Flexibility, tendon strength, neuron density in the muscle.
