| WessleWoggle said: I can only do high front kicks with my left leg. It's a lot more flexible from my left when it comes to front kicks. I can do roundhouse kicks, side kicks, and hook kicks very high with both legs, for example I can kick above someones head if they're the same height as me. But I can't kick right above my own head with a side kick(example: www.winjitsu.com). I can do the splits almost, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSLaoa9MEzk, that's three weeks of practise, I posted it one week ago, I also have a video I did of the splits after 1 week of practise(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa9q0YnZRPY). I can do it better now, it's been four weeks, I can start with my hands free and slowly slide into it, but I pulled my groin so I can't make a video of that until it heals. One of my goals is to be able to drop into the splits like it's nothing, and eventually be able to do a side kick straight in the air.

Yeah, I tend to favor my right leg for a lot of kicks, but I'm still pretty good with my left. I can kick about the same level as my head (I'm 6'1" so I shouldn't need to go higher than that) and I can kick pretty high with side kicks. One of the masters who taught me can actually do a side kick straight up. It's crazy. (Of course, he's done all kinds of things that I can barely believe). I can almost get there but takes quite a bit of balance to get the hang of it. Not to mention it's a lot easier if you can do the splits.
That's impressive. I've been working at it for over three years now and I just can't get any closer than I am right now. It's a real pain. I've got like 6 inches to go still...
