Take a look at the attached video. I have utilise all of these techniques and more in my own training for years and incorporate them into my clubs warm up routine to great success. To this end I thought that it would be good to post a tutorial that explains fully what the drills are doing and how to perfect them as there is a lot to take in in the early days. These drills are excellent conditioning for your kicking technique and for improving the control of your kicks.

Many people in society are suffering from lower back issues and hip issues. The main cause of this is due to automation and the amount of time we spend these days sitting down creating biomechanics issues and adaptive shortening in certain muscle groups. This can then create issues when we are standing and active. These issues can also be exacerbated by sports specific activities such as martial arts.
This is a great opportunity to train with one of the founders of TKD and the person that bought it to the UK. Any students that are interested please let me know ASAP.
