Training for better kicking ability?
What are some methods of training for higher and faster kicks? I have been doing a combination of squats (both with weights and the "hindu" squats), as well a plyometric jumping (basically squatting down and jumping up as high as possible for a set of 10-20). I train my legs in this way once a week, and do my kung fu training which of course includes long horse stance training, for 6 days a week.
What other exercises for the legs can I include that will help me in my high kicks i.e. tornado kick and flying jump kicks?
that's not healthy Johnny
It isnt healthy for yor joints to be locked out all the way. Every time u extend yor joints all the way, u cause damage. U might not notice it now since u are young. Yor kicks wont always be dynamite. Most kicks cause yor knee joint to extend all the way. A lot of people end up getting surgery for overworking their joints. U should limit yor kicks. This limiting goes for any physical activity.

Ummm...Bullsh!t. Your joints are improved through physical activity. As well as overall bone, tendon, and cartilage density. When you do not regularly exercise you end up weak and fragile and enjoy things like osteoporosis, weak spines, and broken hips in your old age.
