Best Stretching Programs for Muay Thai Kicks (legs)?

[pastaasw]

I am new to Muay Thai boxing, coming from a traditional boxing background. I have speed and stregnth, but my flexibility is poor (always has been). I am a multi-sport athlete, but I have never found the perfect stretching program.

Does anyone have any stretching programs, specifically for legs (kicks)?

Joe lays out a routine that uses foam rollers and different types of stretching to increase flexibility in hips and lower body might give it a try.

Thanks for the link.

I guess I should add that I foam roll daily, and I use a stretch strap before/after workouts. (I am also a baseball catcher, so I have to loosen up my legs as much as possible)

My biggest issue with learning the proper kick techniques, is the height of my kicks. I have been trying to figure out a way to stretch the hamstrings/groin/abducters.

I guess Van Damme's bloodsport workout is my last resort?

I do a few of these stretches before class...

Then I do few of them after class along with warrior lunges and the groin stretch where you sit with the soles of your feet touching and you push your knees down.
