So you want to have smoother footwork? Aside from the obvious answer of “just keep practicing your footwork,” which is obvious, training supplemental exercises will also benefit your movements overall.

Common back kick mistakes!!

Practice makes better. It’s not about never making mistakes - but rather understanding how the technique works in application as motivation to improve (& not get cracked in sparring ofc).

It’s experiences like these that remind me why I love martial arts in the first place. The benefits from the physical practice combined with the community it allows me to tap into is priceless. A HUGE thank you to everyone I got to train with and those who inspired me during Phase. I am so grateful for this life🙏🏽

It’s in the name “turning side kick.” 😛

Also - you are supposed to recoil and then DROP the leg IN FRONT. But since I am demo-ing on a PADDED METAL COLUMN my kick kept bouncing off as much as I tried to control the recoil LOL. Bear with me😮‍💨🙏🏽

I forgot my hurdles downstairs 🫪 but same difference you get the picture!!

Plyos over distance are arguably my favorite way to practice them as they are more applicable to training live sparring. So I would suggest to practice these for 3-5 sets.

Tell me - what is your favorite way to train plyometrics for your sport?

Old school Taekwondo Sparring FOOTWORK techniques!

Note: the term “45 kick” means a body roundhouse. Iykyk 🇵🇭 :)

Is that even a term, “air-step”? I’m pretty sure I’ve heard it used outside of martial arts before… if not - - then there you go. Air steps also work in martial arts.

Disclaimer: this is a DEMONSTRATION STYLE ex*****on of this kick. In sparring, the kick pathway would be very narrow by the base foot and the air-steps would be directed to “CUT” at a kick/body.

A couple of unilateral exercises to add to your next training session. 🙌🏽 Keep an eye out for part 2!

Personally, I’m headed to the gym in a little bit. So I’ll be hitting these plyo exercises!

Which of these exercises interest you most? And if you have a plyometrics routine already what exercises do you do?

If your goal is to become a body builder, lift like a body builder. But if your goal is to be powerful for martial arts, lift for martial arts.

Working Hard 🫱🏻‍🫲🏽 Working Smart

Leg days are vital to maintaining and building strength for the mats.
