As I mentioned elsewhere, I have a new commitment to stance training and slow motion kicks. It is exposing some issues I am having. I hope some of you can shed some light on my crane stance issues.
1- is the typical flexibility issue. How does one get their crane stance up higher? I am embarrassed to admit I am not even sure what muscles are primarily used in a crane stance. Can someone with a good sense of anatomy tell me?
Thing is, when I do a front kick full speed, I can kick pretty darn high. But in a slow motion snap kick, it is much lower. A LOT lower. :( I am not sure why and I am not sure what to do about it. (Of course, I will ask my instructor and/ or Sifu too.)
I am left sided, but my left crane is worse. My leg droops at the end of the training. I know that is just building up the strength, but maybe other reasons too?
That side is tighter during leg stretches too.
2. After some time, my left foot (which is supposed to be pointing down, but with the toes curled up) starts to shake sometimes. I have also had this issue when doing lots of TCC toe kicks. (Sifu will have us do like 10 TCC kicks on each side- holding them out at full extension for a few seconds.)
Anyone else ever have that? It sort of freaks me out. I tend to not hold my foot the way I should once it starts doing it because of it freaking me out.
