Thread 76451339

Do you train flexibility?
I wanna start martial arts again, but I can barely kick like, above the height of my knee
So I thought I'd first get a bit more flexible and I am making literally zero fucking progress on stretching. Like I'm made out of stone
When I look at somebody like Andy Hug, kicking people from above their head, I think, do you have to be alien or mutant to get to that point?

Any tips / routines welcome

how the fuck is your flexibility so bad you cant raise your feet above your knees?

>>76451367
I should have been more specific
I mean when I'm raising my leg as if for a front kick
I can "raise it" forcefully on top of a table or something even a bit more, but if I'm front kicking, it's like not even 1 meter high and I already feel like I'm gonna tear apart my quadriceps or something

Side kick, I can do higher, maybe slightly above my ass level, still bad

1.87m tall if it matters

>>76451339 (OP)
I do. >>76451315
If you can handle his vibe, MovementByDavid has great stretch routines for whatever your goals are.
There could be better out there for martial arts training, but his work is at least a decent starting point.

I took a photo in the mirror
I can't go higher than that, if I'm just lifting it in the front (if I swing or force it over an object, sure)
Maybe it could also be a strength issue? Quadriceps or something, whatever pulls the leg that way I don't exercise it

Sorry unrelated but who is she

>>76451393
She has to know how erotica her feet are

Ah no ahah you got me!
*licklick*
Good technique! I cant go anywhere near you ohno...
*licklicklick*
Ah dang you really *lick* kept me away

I do train flexibility using a lot of isometrics with and without weight. If you want specific kicking flexibility, Bill Superfoot Wallace's old DVD is on YouTube

what's the source for this pic? seen it for years but its clearly shooped

>>76451612
it's not really a flexibility thread, it's all good bro

>>76451339 (OP)
Yes, I train flexibility.
For striking martial arts especially you are going to want good dynamic flexibility. That is best improved by doing dynamic stretches.
The best method for improving static flexibility is proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (pnf) stretching.
The best resource on both of these things I know of is Stretching Scientifically by Thomas Kurz.
The book lacks diverse position examples, so I would recommend the book Stretching and Flexibility by Kit Laughlin as an addendum.
