Machine Gun Kicking Drills

First do a good warm up and then a really good stretch.

Then do about 20 or so of each kick front, side, round house...

Do them slow concentrating on execution and control to really warm your muscles up!

Do a light shake-off then assume a front kick chamber and execute 20 front kicks as fast as you can....still maintaining good form.

Then side kick....then round house (each leg)
do about 5 sets of 20.

This exercise benefits by maximizing the fast twitch muscle fibers strengthens the hip flexors and builds excellent blindingly fast kicking techniques.

Hi Kevin

Great contribution. This exercise would certainly benefit taekwondo players wanting to build good kicking technique combined with strength and speed.
