Level Up Your Muay Thai: 3 Exercises to Boost Your Mobility

Mobility is a cornerstone of effective Muay Thai kicking, influencing both the range and speed of your strikes. In Muay Thai, mobility encompasses flexibility, agility, and range of motion in your hips, legs, and core. Limited mobility can hinder your ability to execute kicks with full extension and power. Without adequate flexibility in your hips and legs, your range of motion is restricted, resulting in shortened kicks that lack impact and reach. Additionally, reduced mobility can lead to compensatory movements, increasing the risk of injury and compromising technique. On the other hand, improved mobility enhances your kicking arsenal by allowing you to unleash kicks with greater extension and fluidity. Increased flexibility enables you to chamber your kicks higher and pivot smoothly, maximizing the force and precision of your strikes. Moreover, enhanced agility enables quick transitions between different kicking techniques, enabling you to adapt dynamically to your opponent's movements. 1. Modified Hip CAR (Controlled Articular Rotation) against Bench: Sets: 2 - 3 Reps: 6 per side Instructions: Focus on rotating through the entire motion of your hip activating musculature around the hip. If a bench is too high, you can have a lower surface like a small step or low couch. 2. Long Split Lunge: Sets: 3 - 4 Reps: 6 - 8 per side Instructions: Focus on doing a longer lunge than usual. Keep driving your hips forward and down to engage the glutes in the lead leg, and lengthen the hip flexor of the back leg. As you come up, push through the lead leg, and drag the floor with the back leg. Try to stay in the lunge for a couple of seconds. This can be done with or without weight. If there are any knee issues, this movement can be done isometric instead of dynamic. 3. Side Lunge: Sets: 3 - 4 sets Reps: 6 - 8 per side Instructions: Focus on sitting your hips back as you load one hip. Extend the opposite leg to lengthen the thighs/ adductors, as you load the glutes on the opposite side. Drag the floor with the extended leg and push off through the lunging side. 00:00 Intro 00:17 Mechanics Behind Hip Mobility 01:00 Which Part of My Body Should I Focus On? 01:23 What Are Signs of Bad Hip Mobility? 02:16 Modified Hip CAR (Controlled Articular Rotation) against Bench 04:53 Long Split Lunge 11:12 Side Lunge 17:45 Q&A 22:47 Outro Check out Kevyn for more Strength & Conditioning tips:   / kevynlopez93   Check out Warriors Nation MMA Gym:   / warriorsnationmma   Follow us on IG:   / combatcultureusa   (@combatcultureusa) Subscribe to our channel for more content:    / combatcultureusa
