You would not count on having the time to put it together while facing an attacker. And yet . Dynamic flexibility is the ability to perform dynamic movements within a full range of motion in the joints.
Kicks are dynamic movements.
Dynamic stretches for kickers are simple leg raises in all directions. First develop the ability to move your limbs with moderate speed within a full range of motion in the joints. Then, after you have reached nearly your full range of motion, you can increase the velocity of the limb so the last few inches of its trajectory will be less controlled but the stretch will not be sudden. Do leg raises to the front, back, and sides. Make 12 repetitions in every set and do as many sets as you need to feel you have reached your current limit of flexibility.
