Special Techniques Seminar

Flying High Kick & Competition Drills with World Champ Medallists Vinu Vijayakumaran & Sean Neary

Many people think, as Sean Neary did in the beginning, that flexibility is the main factor limiting their flying high kick. In this Special Techniques seminar, you will see how correct knee drive, timing and body alignment can allow you to kick far higher than you might expect – even without extreme flexibility.

This seminar was filmed during a full one hour and 49 minute session with world champ medallists Vinu Vijayakumaran and Sean Neary. Across the training they break down all five official competition special techniques, sharing drills and mindset tips that any serious competitor can use.
