Martial Arts & Optimized flexibility

Posted June 14th, 2008 by zander

Did you know there is more than one way to improve flexibility ? Especially for higher kicking in the martial arts. Here "dynamic-moves" - spanding through the full range of motion from bottom to top are one of the best !

Just remember to involve the hip - but still carefully and gradually :-)

Great blog

You´re absolutely right, Jamo. Also - I do believe that one can actually get a more "athletic" look by fascilitating the correct techniques of stretching. And it has SO many other cool benefits, like elevated mood, decreased numbers of injuries, better blood flow, recovery and improved flow of oxygen to both muscles and brain. Some people even states that stretching puts them in a "floating" mood and state. I believe this body reaction alone will attract more people in time - once displayed and presented in the right way. The greatest thing about stretching is the mobility and "readyness" it creates in the whole body :-)
