A knee injury is a very common injury among martial arts practitioners. Knee injury for Martial Arts DVD addresses the cause of your injury. Most martial artists injure themselves for one or more of the following reasons:

 

·         Weakness in the muscles due to inadequate or incorrect conditioning required for a specific technique.

·         Lack of flexibility in the muscles that move the knee or neighboring joints.

·         Lack of activation of the muscles that move the knee or neighboring joints.  

·         Incorrect movement pattern form a biomechanical point of view.

·         Imbalance between the muscles that carry out a specific movement.

 

The good thing is that a kick is a kick, and a jump is a jump. Most people with the same injury tend to make the same mistake. That mistake can be easily corrected. The unfortunate thing is that in most cases the mistake is never corrected. You simply get injured, experience a long setback, followed by the loss of speed, power, kicking height or what have you. After your injury heals, you do the same wrong thing again and get reinjured. This vicious cycle continues indefinitely.  Knee injury for Martial Arts DVD takes your injury apart, allowing you to understand it and correct it once and for all, to minimize the chance of it ever happening again.

One of the biggest complains I get is that regular orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists don't know how to approach martial arts injuries. The reason here is because certain martial arts techniques place a very unique demand on a specific tissue. There's no technique in gymnastics or dance that can mimic this movement. Unfortunately, Martial Arts is still very much underemphasized in medical schools, in comparison to more widely accepted sports, such as soccer, football, basketball, baseball and even dance or gymnastics. This leads martial arts injuries to be left untouched in most textbooks and injury classes. Knee injury for Martial Arts DVD provides you with exercises that come from my personal knowledge of kinesiology, biomechanics, research on published material and personal experience with martial artists and their injuries.
