Static hamstring stretches to improve kicks

In this video I show you some static stretching exercises to improve flexibility in the hamstring. This will help improve the height of your kicks such as downward kick (axe kick) but it is also important to practice other forms of stretching such as dynamic and PNF, which I will cover in other videos.

My Martial Arts Fitness series of videos cover various types of fitness training such as calisthenics, stretching, weight training, core strength, aerobics and cardio, to help develop the athlete for all types of martial arts.
