Topic: Getting feet up

[Patrick Witbrod]

So I've been working on kongs for a while and I'm ok but I'll never be able to get the distance I want without fixing my feet.

 I understand the difference between a punch and a split foot take off but I can't get my feet up. Some people I've seen can get their feet almost 45 degrees from their head. Mine can't go beyond maybe 15-20 at best. What can I do to get my feet up?

can you put up a vid of a couple of your kongs.

Probably tomorrow night. I've got a big trip coming up to either a castle



or the city Museum in St. Louis http://www.citymuseum.org/site/ on Thursday so I'm trying to take it easy.

I'll get some up tomorrow.

I can't really give specific thoughts without a video to assess but my general advice would be to raise your hips. Aim to dive and have your hips head level or higher; the legs, and by extension the feet, should follow.

try split legging the take off and kick one heel like your gonna kick your head
