5 Hip Mobility Drills You Need to Take Your Kicks to the Next Level w/ Carl Van Roon
Today's highly requested video on mobility drills to improve kicks features 11x World Champion Carl Van Roon. Several of you in the comments have asked me to share my stretching routine and what you can do to have nice kicks. The truth is I have only started stretching about 4 years ago, and much of my understanding on what is needed to have powerful, high kicks was flawed. I used to think that I needed to stretch more to improve my flexibility. This led to improved passive range of motion, but it didn't address my lack of strength within that range. In other words, my leg could physically be moved to a certain position, but I was not strong enough to actively place my leg in a given position with control.
That's why I invited Carl to help us. (He also helped me prepare for my fight against Magomed Mustafaev). Carl is not only an 11x World Champion and MMA fighter, but he also has a master's degree in Sports Science and has the best kicks of anyone I know. He helps Israel Adesanya and Alex Volkanovski with their fight camps too. What makes Carl's kicks so dangerous is that you cannot tell where they are coming from. This is because he has the control, strength, and dexterity to misdirect his kicks. This video is very detailed, so I encourage you to not skip ahead and to follow along with us. In fact, I would encourage you to do these drills every day: 3 sets of 10 each exercise is a good place to start. Then gradually build up to 15 or 20 reps.
Carl explains what movements are needed to be able to kick with control, limiting factors, and how these drills address these limitations in order to build strength and control. My hips are sore from filming this video, so it's normal if yours are too after doing these drills. Give them a go and let me know how they work for you.

I linked another video in this tutorial to a previous tutorial I made on Carl's channel. It's about using misdirection to set up knockouts. It's related because these drills will give you the control to be able to misdirect with your legs in the same way I do with my hands.

Carl’s a great teacher & his dexterity is insane. Everybody talks about turning the hip over but rarely discuss hip mobility or how it functions. I found this really useful thanks brad, cheers.
Yeah, Carl is awesome. Such a wealth of knowledge.
@@bradquakeriddell His technique is so fluid! And that guy is _tall_ lol Fear the man who knows TKD; run away from the tall man who knows TKD.
Someone thinks they know what they’re talking about
Hello :) Islam is an arabic word that means Submission or Surrender to God the One and Only, and was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124,000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism to purity and true monotheism. Many Religions that we know, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but with the time, their original teachings and scriptures were corrupted with polytheism or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays. Which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah, and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. Allah means the only and one God, the God of all prophets, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgement, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this life and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : 19 Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! 20 Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. 21 Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. 22 It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (Translated by Muhammad Asad) Salam (Peace).

This is proper I know because I'm blk belt seikido and we do these exercises in kick boxing and taekwondo. They hurt at first. Actually they always hurt. Eventually you can use resistance bands to increase the strength. It's the hip pain after that you know you did well. Now don't forget the cossak squats as well. Splits etc. Also important. This was a great explanation. Most importantly don't forget to stretch the hip flexers after. Ouch I did them all. Properly with back up etc. My back bone clicks with one of them on my left. Anyways I'll go sit down now
This was a fun series to shoot bro. Always a pleasure to collaborate together 😁 Gotta love the "perseverance camera" 😂
😂 100%... Once this lockdown is done we can shoot more. Always a blast!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and taking time to film.

Bro that switch to a side kick was sooo clean 🤩
Wow this is so good. I am definitely following your channel.
I have been doing these about 3 years since i saw this video. My high kicks are now amazing. Thanks guys!
Holy inspiration. Thanks for your comment. Im mainly a boxer and want to get better kicks
God ... i still have so much "Roon" to improve , but so little time and conditions to train... more than 10 years NOT practicing but still loving martial arts every second of it.
Hey Brad, Because you humbled yourself to announce your weakness to the world in kicking, you blessed us with an excellent tutor. Thank you for displaying a Lion's heart than a champions mind. 2022 is ours!
14 years of training muay thai and I can empathise with Brad.. watching this video and seeing Carl's control makes me feel so much regret
my dream is to go to New Zealand to train with all of you at CKB gym, you are the best in the world. It is very difficult to get out of here, Latin American, but without a doubt I will be there in the next few years.
Sorry bro access denied
We are lucky to have a solid group of hardworking people to train with.
This is a masterclass in even just the most basic stuff, what an amazing coach
Wow. What an S tier teacher
Really helpful video, I was wasting time on stretches that didn't help me with my kicks at all. These drills are doing work I can feel it in my muscles.

This by far the best tutorial I’ve seen on kicking. Keep up the good work 🙏
Awesome! Thanks 🙏
This is wicked! Thanks heaps.
thank you for the great content 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
SOOOOO THANKFUL to have stumbled across this. I recently have gotten back into martial arts (prob 8-12 years ago) and I'm constantly trying to push myself back to my old flexibility, which my legs and bands do NOT like, I look forward to implementing these into my stretches.
I salute you guys, you have extra expertise in the field.....am now able to do likewise. Thanks Keep it up.
Great video! I'm gonna start practising!
Excellent video master
The perseverance of Brad is immaculate. It was so funny looking at his face while he was struggling.
Thank you for your efforts
Amazing content mate, you've earned my subscription 🔥
A real KZhead diamond thanks for sharing!
This is golden stuff, thanks a lot! Carl´s control is beyond belief. I´m really happy that you were in the video too, Brad. And that you have admitted, that you´ve had sore hips afterwards. That gives me hope, I am about a year in muay thai (with covid breaks) and I have troubles with hips and kicking. I haven´t known you before, but I looked at your sherdog and man, if elite level fighter has at least some difficulties with these, I know that I have to work consistently. It´s good to see, that it is not that easy for everyone except me. You´ve got a new fan! Best wishes from the heart of Europe.
THANK YOU ! I am all legs, and never had the dexterity I wanted. This has given me a better framework of drills to do, really dig it.
Solid drills! Where have you been all my life!
Very useful...thank you!
Thx for the tips!!
this is a very helpful tutorial .thanks and greetings from germany 🙂

It's always beautiful to see collaboration in the arts! Thanks for Sharing, I too wish I'd had a chance to pick up the kicking game when I was younger, but hey, tis how the cookie crumbles.
Thanks for that video!
