Robsco 1319 posts	Wednesday 9th February 2005 at 18:14 Yeah, side splits, not so much front, but stretch everything anyway, ya don't wanna be really flexible one way but not another. After some static stretches maybe also try dynamic ones, ie, do your kicks. I'll be adding some details of stretching, drills, etc. soon. The Admin Guy
trevek2 Addict 119 posts	Wednesday 9th February 2005 at 19:44 The Tom Kurz book, "stretching scientifically" is really good. He advises starting the day with some dynamic streches (after a bit of a warm-up) and gives ideas for stretching routines for various training programmes. See how well I block all your

trevek2 Addict 119 posts	Thursday 10th February 2005 at 19:59 your welcome nathan, I used do the basic warm up of thirty leg raises each way (takes about ten minutes) and a few static stretches each morning and my flexibility went up about 30 percent in a couple of weeks. The blurb says you can do full splits in six weeks, which I can believe (I was just too lazy to try for it!). There's also a (seperate) video. Most martial arts magazines have ads for the book and the vid See how well I block all your
