Q & A: Sang H. Kim on Building Flexibility for Side Kick

Admin July 16, 2014

Reader Question: 

Master Kim's book on Martial Arts over 40 has been a great help in my sparring. I have a question for the Author: I am 53 years old and am currently a Red Belt in Taekwondo. Can I still achieve flexibility in my hips, without causing hip problems later in life? My front kick is well over my head, but my side kicks are only waist high.
