Stretches to Improve Hip Mobility for Muay Thai and Kickboxing

So many students and clients come to me about their tight hips when throwing kicks while training Muay Thai or Kickboxing. How do I loosen my tight hips? Do you know any stretches to help me throw higher kicks? Why don't I have any power in my kicks?
A good stretching routine is crucial to become good at throwing kicks in Muay Thai, Kickboxing, MMA , or martial arts in general.

I have one flexible hip (lead), able to reach shoulder / head and then the back hip i cant even get above waist 😅 I believe this has been a product of decades of amateur boxing and the side stance. An Argument is those adaptations, in my case unilateral flexibility and tighness in particular areas, make you more stable and stronger in that stance.

Those with poor internal hip movement are not going to be able to do these right off the bat. You need to start with mastering the asian squat . What I am doing is squating next to a dresser to hold myself up and pulling my self onto my toes and then using my arms as little as possible to pull myself back up. It has taken me a couple months of regular stretching to be able to get down into deep into the squat and still have to hold on. A couple more and I think I will be able to barely do the squat unassisted. Don't take get lazy like I have. Your muscles just snap back right to where they were. 😅

@Blitz_7. 7 ай бұрын

it’s better to do stretch befor training or after?

@Krufessor_Rad 7 ай бұрын

it really depends. Sometimes doing it before can weaken the muscle if you're strength training. Some believe. You can do it after, but if you're tight you should never stretch tight muscles. You should loosen them first by rolling them and then you can stretch them. I generally gauge if I need to stretch beforehand to get through the training, or if I feel the need afterward. For striking I always stretch beforehand or I cannot kick very high. That's just me.
