Would anyone out there care to share any of the "hip-opening" stretching techniques that they may use?
I have a hard time with roundhouse and hook kicks because my hips are so tight. I know I can get them up there, I just have to find a way to stretch my hip out. The height that I have gained on my Inside-Outside, Front and Side Kicks in the past year tells me that I can get any kick up high. But I am an old man, so I may be asking a lot here......lots of people's bodies are built different ways, perhaps I am just not made to excel at roundhouse and hook kicks.
*shrug*
I have searched online and purchased books and did everything that they suggested. I have seen a but of a difference in my height on my roundhouse and hook kicks, I just want to get them higher.
Thanks in advance for all helpful responses!
