I am a begginer and so i havent reasurched leg waits very much. I asked my master about them and he told me that although they can help with speed they may also cause permanant damage to your joints. He recomends using heavy shoes such as ski boots while performing the kicks slowly, as this should strengthen the muscles used for kicking. Take it easy Oli

Anonymous Unregistered	leg waits arent to good because they tighten up your muscles while u kick so it injures you instead of making you faster/stronger... A-TOWN
