ABSTRACT
This study aims to determine the relationship between flexibility and the ability of mae geri (straight kick). The population of this research is 37 junior karateka of Dojo Pusaka Denpasar who are male and aged between 16-20 years. 24 people were selected from this population. Determination of the sample is done by total sampling technique. The method used is descriptive method with a correlational approach. Data collected were age, height, weight, flexibility and a 15-second mae geri test to measure the ability of the mae geri. The data obtained were analyzed with Pearson correlation followed by multiple regression at the significance level ? < 0.05. The results of the data analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between flexibility in the ability of the mae geri with the value of r = 0.696 and p = 0.000, while age, height, and weight were not related to the ability of the mae geri. The simultaneous correlation between age, height, weight, and flexibility was significantly related to the ability of the mae geri with r = 0.780 and p = 0.001. Age, height, weight, and flexibility give an effect of 60.9% on the ability of the mae geri. This means that the ability to mae geri kick depends on flexibility.
