Greetings! I'm a 35 year old male who just started TKD with my kids. We are loving it. We've been going about 3 months now. I am pretty flexible and athletic. I played basketball and soccer. My flat footed front kick goes beyond 6 ft, (my height). I can almost do the front splits. HOWEVER, side kicks and round kicks are limited by pain in my hips. At first they were limited by my inner thighs. Through side stretching though I am getting increasingly more flexible there. However, the pain that has developed in my hips is hindering my range. It seems to be inner and front, almost including my groin. Are these normal growing pains that will subside? Are there stretches or exercises that would help this? It doesn't seem to be an injury, as it is both hips equally.
Thanks, Notreadytobeoldyet
