Hamstring & Knee - Wushu Stretch
Welcome to FM's instruction for
the hamstring and knee wushu stretch.
This stretch improves in particular the flexibility for
wushu kicks like the front stretchkick.
Its aim is to make it possible to kick with the extended leg to
the own forehead.
To do so, you have to make your hamstrings and the tendons in
the knee area more flexible.

Description: Hamstring & Knee - Wushu Stretch
- One leg is straightened and the other one bent.
The toes of the extended leg point straight up.
- The thighs and the knees have to be close together and parallel.
Don't open your hips and keep the straightened leg ( the one you stretch
) close.
- Keep your back straight or even hollow slightly.
Grab your foot and pull it towards your hips.
Trainer advice: Hamstring & Knee - Wushu Stretch
- Breath very slow. When you inhale, move away from your foot and when you exhale, go closer.
- Try to see the sole of your shoe.
To do so, you will have to pull the tip of your foot in hip direction
and keep your upper body straight. Don't round your back. Don't move
your head towards your knee.
Move forward instead of down.
