Training: The Pyramid.

This is 1 training workout I love the most, it's called the pyramid.




A kicking exercise that trains your round house kick for any kick boxers (Muay Thai, Taekwando, Sanda, Tang Soon Do or etc). This exercise will train your technique, power, cardio & kick recovery. It is a very simple drill but 1 that is extremely challenging.

With a partner holding Thai pads (or a heavy bag - I prefer a partner) 4 sets each leg of the following:

single kick
double kick
triple kick
4 kicks
5 kicks
4 kicks
triple kick
double kick
single kick

= 1 set @ 25 kicks on 1 leg.

Newbies might find the double, triple (and maximum five) kicks to be difficult. It is important to get the technique and form right 1st. This workout will seriously kill your hips & make sure to kick with your sheen. Try to do 200 kicks (8 sets per leg).
