   At home practice blocks and not too harsh kicking techniques to brush up on those skills. , This is very important to all aspects of your training as it allows for higher, faster, and better looking techniques.
   
   This area of training is often overlooked.
   
   If you want higher kicks, stretching is right for you.
   
   Not only do you need flexibility, but you also need to make sure you chamber and extend! , Mainly focus on Cardio as you will have to give your all in a small amount of time.

   Remember that you shouldn't only train hard when a tournament is coming up.
   
   You should train your best EVERYDAY so you can get better FAST and you don't have to worry about not being ready for a tournament. , Relax and do a light jog.
