Not horrible bad but just enough to be annoying. After I stop doing them the pain eventually goes away.

Does this happen to anyone else and how can it be avoided?
Kicks above the waist arent very good for the hip. Thats why lots of older TKD guys need hip replacements early in life. Take chuck norris for example. Lots of gymnasts are in the same boat. I guess its the price you pay for sports though. They all kill us down the road
