Kick-Outs

Kick-Outs – Martial Arts Strength Exercise

This page looks at the strength training exercise known as “Kick-Outs”. This is a martial arts exercise used to build up core strength. It also helps to increase leg strength, especially for the quadriceps.

More advanced versions do not allow you to place your hands on the floor in order to generate greater instability and thus an even more intense core workout. See the section on V-Ups & V-Crunches for more information.

All stretches and exercises should be supervised by a trained instructor in order to prevent injuries and to ensure the proper technique is utilized. For more exercises, please visit the main Martial Arts Strength Training page.
