Hello, I've done a bit of martial arts in the past but I'm very unflexible especially with things such as side kicks (so I think my hips are the problem).
I've tried 4 schools in the last 10 year (I'm 21) and gave up at the last one because I was always on the verge of passing out due to bad shape.
Now I'm running 4 miles in 30 minutes 4 times per week without getting winded so I'm in much better shape, and I want to give martial arts a serious try.
I plan to look for schools around Montreal until December and to decide which one to attend then (I read on this forum to shop for schools for a month before chosing one...)
In the meantime I would like to do some exercises for leg flexibility and to build endurance by practicing basic kicks.
Are there websites showing exactly how to do some of those exercises? I want to put about 4-5 hours a week stretching, kicking and punching but I don't know which kicks to do nor how to stretch properly (besides a few stretches I do for running).
Thanks
