Dear all,
I started tkd (WTF) about 10 months ago as an adult and constantly run into one annoying problem. My left leg is much weaker than the right one (I'm an ordinary right-handed person). A a result, I get minor damages in both the knee and hip joints in my left leg when the left leg is a supporting one for kicks. I talked to the master instructor who told me that probably the muslces are overloaded on the left leg to such an extent that it results in damage to joints and I need to exercise it more to make it equal in strength to the right one.
Do you have any suggestions on the type of exericeses that are availale? I train in tkd 3 days per week and in tennis (with very intensive running drills) 2 days per week. How do I train muscles on the left leg separately from the right one?
Thank you a lot for you advice,
Maria
