Section 1- Kinesiology of the kick.
This section explains the joint movement of a specific kick, all the muscles working in each kick are detailed with performance variations (Kick executed slowly, fast, against a target, no target, etc.). This is a necessary foundation to get the most out of the numerous techniques, exercises and drills taught throughout the DVD.
Section 2- Kinesiology Review
In this section the kick is again broken down with all the joints and muscles summarized as the kick is performed and paused for each step.
Section 3 – Kick Specific Warm Up
This section focuses on a quick warm up which can make a difference between an so-so and a great training session. This warm up also helps to prevent injuries during kick training.
Section 4 - Explanation of kicking techniques variations and methods of attack
There are many ways to throw a kick to serve your needs in combat or self defense. Depending on a situation a specific angle of length of a kick can make a difference between hitting a target or being hit yourself. Stepping and foot work needed to get the kick to your opponent is also covered.
Section 5 – Endurance Training
Once the technique is understood and grasped, the next step is endurance. Cardiovascular and muscular endurance is required for combat and is a pre-requisite for other modalities such as speed, power, etc. Various endurance drills and exercises are demonstrated.
Section 6 – Stability & Balance
This section demonstrates exercises dynamic stability and balance needed for optimal kicking techniques. Included are drills specifically designed for real combat situations, with the movement and opposition of the adversary in mind.
Section 7 – Focus, Precision and Control
Being able to kick hard, fast and often is great but, it doesn’t mean anything if you are not hitting a necessary target. This section teaches control drill specifically designed for kick control such as for demonstrations or for light contact or non-contact sparring. Precision exercises train the fine muscles and nervous system to sharpen the eye-foot coordination.
Section 8 - Antagonists Conditioning.
Antagonists training is a scientific shortcut to speed, power, awesome kicking form and other modalities. These muscle groups can prevent injury due to deceleration capacity. They also determine how fast and strong the kick would be by the amount of constrain they place on the antagonists. Each DVD demonstrates various Antagonist exercises for their respective kicks.
Section 9 - Speed and Timing.
Speed means nothing if the kick is telegraphed. This section teaches you how to use breathing and visualization to hide your intentions and explode with full speed at the right moment.
Section 10 – Strength & Power
Power is one of the last components to be mastered. Once all other modalities are in place and a well focused kick can be thrown with full control with no acceleration, plenty of power would be produced. Most kickers stop there, but Paul Zaichik goes further and shows you how very specific strength techniques can open a new realm to the meaning of destructive kicking power.
Section 11 – Height and Flexibility
In this section Paul Zaichik goes over the components of kick flexibility. Any kick draws the grace of its height from at least three components: (The Kicking leg, the supporting leg, and the trunk or core.) A fine equilibrium of strength and flexibility permits an execution of an effective high kick. This section goes over the drills which develop every aspect necessary to gain tremendous kicking height.

Learn the training routines to prepare your body for kicking techniques. These moves will allow for fast and safe mastery of the kicks.
Have you ever watched a child trying to write something, before the fine motor skills are developed? All you see is incomprehensible lines? The reason for that is because the neuromuscular system is not yet developed to allow for such a task. This example has some resonance to a new kicker trying to kick. A while belt kicker who is not strength conditioned has to use muscles, which are not fully developed for kicking and are not under his complete control. He will develop these muscles through kicks. It’s a time consuming process. Furthermore, it is not the safest or fastest way to learn how to kick.
It takes just one muscle group to be underdeveloped, for the kicking technique not to work. A basic front kick demonstrates this point well. For a successful kick strength is required in the anterior chain of the kicking leg. Flexibility and strength in the posterior chain of the kicking leg is needed for successful and safe height and the deceleration of the kick. That is just the kicking leg; the supporting leg and trunk have many requirements as well. If they are not there, the kick can’t be done correctly. If it can’t be done correctly then it can’t be practiced correctly. There’s a saying that “It’s not practice that makes perfect, it’s correct practice that makes perfect” So if your body won’t let you do the kick correctly, then what are you practicing?
That’s where this Broad Spectrum Conditioning for Kicking DVD comes in handy. It teaches you how to develop your body, which is ready to master how to kick.
Being ready, makes the difference between:
-Will you learn to kick properly or not?
-Will you practice to kick correctly or not?
-Will you get injured or not?
-How quickly will you master the kicks?
This DVD is great for the following students:
-If you are just about to start your martial arts journey and looking for a way to prepare for it.
-If you took time off from training and need to get your body into shape before coming back.
-If you are currently training, yet your kicks don’t seem to improve.
