Martial Arts Stretching

-How long does it take a K.Oed dude to wake up after getting knocked out…?
-Is jaw the most sensitive part when it comes to knock-out’ing someone(muscled, fat, thin,etc)?
-How fast and heavy should my fist when it strikes the jaw so that i can knock out?
-What can i do to make my punches and kicks stronger?
-important stretches so that i can avoid injury during fight?
-what type of punch is the most effective for KO? straight? hook? uppercat?

I just wanna be prepared because anytime anywhere i can get into fight and i dont want
that someone will get heavily damaged, got sliced or something….

1. In this case there is no real single answer. A lot of it depends on the power in the strike causing the knockout, as well as the brain chemistry and even skull density of the recipient.

2. The jaw itself is not the point that is weak. There is a nerve cluster within the face on the inside of the mandible(lower jaw)that connects directly to the cerebral cortex. Shocking this nerve cluster causing unconsciousness. The most effective way to strike this nerve cluster is with a punch to the jaw.

3. Speed and power are both the product of proper technique, balance, and conditioning.

4. Technique building and conditioning of the muscles is the best way to develop more effective striking.

5. Well, if this is a sactioned match, then I would recommend splits, chinese splits, as well as any other stretch working the pelvis/legs. Stretching the shoulders/neck/back are important as well. If its not sanctioned, stretching is pointless, rely on techniques that work without it.

6. Anything that lands flush can KO an opponent. I’ve seen jabs KO before. Strike for the jaw for an almost guaranteed KO agains t an average Joe. Prepare to have to hit it multiple times against a trained fighter.

On the whole, most Martial Arts can give you what you are looking for here. Train smart and hard, with your plan for your training in hand and you’ll be as skilled as you want to be in no time! Good Luck.

Does anyone know of a stretching routine for learning the splits? Pictures or a video would be great as well.

You need to perform dynamic stretches in the morning, and again before your workout.

For your workout, warm up with some cardio for a few minutes, follow up with dynamic stretches again.

Do you workout, and at the end, follow it up with a cooldown and static stretches for a few minutes.

After your static stretches, go into isometric exercises.

Be sure to rest completely the next day. Your rest is what increases your range of motion. Be sure that you know not only what stretches to do, but when to do them. Otherwise, you will not see any improvement.

How to Improve your flexibility. Well its not that easy, but if you do all of theese simple stretches every day- (as well as some others like the frog, the turtle split, of course splits, laying down on your back and grabbing your leg..etc.) it will be much easier!! I know that this video does not have that many stretches but i put down 2 stretches that have examples and then i just told you the other ones sorry

“Hi, everybody. I’m John Graden for the Martial Arts Teachers Association. Boy, I tell you what, when it comes to martial arts, there is an area of a lot of misinformation that has to do with stretching. Number one, first off, this is the twenty-first century. Regardless if you are doing tae kwon do, karate, kickboxing, mma, kenpo or any other striking art, a lot of the stretches we inherited go back decades and we know a lot better now about how to stretch. Number one, martial arts stretching is part of the workout and cool down. It’s not part of the warm up. The warm up is meant to get the big muscles warm, blood flowing so then when we do stretch and kick, we don’t pull a muscle and damage ourselves. So, stretching typically, is most effective at the end of class when the muscles are really tired and not resisting. Second thing, here’s some of the stretches that I was raised with, and I certainly hope you’re not doing it at your school. We would do things like the high foreleg raise and you’d swing your leg up and it was very easy to blow out a hamstring. We did the high side leg raise and we’d raise our legs this way and it was just archaic, ancient stretching. So, we’ve done a lot of research and here are some stretches that we know work for martial arts. This is a simple routine that I like to do with my students. I start in a horse stance and I’m going to take my forearms, push them against my knee. I’m trying to get my hips just to open up and relax right now. I might do some dynamic stretching, which is not bouncing like ballistic. That would be real hard. Very simple motions. Then from here, my hands go to the ground and I’m going to go and turn sideways for this, so I don’t lean on the microphone, into a mini split. I’m just going to rock back and forth. Again, I’m opening my hips. I want a straight line between my knee, my rear end and my other knee. I’m not sitting back. I’m not sitting forward, but I can kind of rock a little bit. Next, from this position, I extend a side kick and then I roll into the side kick. Again, keeping a straight line from the knee, over the hips into the leg. I’m rolling into my side kick. Then, I go back to my mini split. And then, I’ll do the other leg. And then, with my advanced students, we would push into a full split, using the arms for support. And the key here is that you will — I’m going to come up now — you will naturally guard against the stretch. What does that mean? When you feel the discomfort of the stretch, your body instinctively tightens up a little bit. You’ve got to mentally override that and relax. You have to mentally override that and, what I call, receive the stretch. So, those are some great ideas for martial arts stretching. I’m John Graden for the Martial Arts Teachers Association. Thanks.”

This stretch should only be done by already flexible dancers. You want to attempt this with caution, making sure the girl who is holding the stretch is in control. This is a great exercise for anyone who already has a nice leg extension and is looking to make it even better.

i am going to try out for an all star cheerleading squad in about 4 months and i need some stretches that will help with flexibilty! or any other cheerleading stretches or exercies will help!

keep working on your straddle- while you might not think your gonna need it, a straddle is like the base for flexibility plus it will help with heel stretch, bow and arrow, scorpio,etc. wich are extremely important especially if you want to be a flyer

lunges and splits- well lunges are more like a warm up for you splits. do a regular lunge, then a reverse lunge and slide into your splits. like the straddle the splits helps with overall flexibility. plus its a great accomplishment and is like bonus points at your tryout

and practice all of your cheer strecthes (heel stretch, scale, scorpio, etc) and some back and shoulder flexibily to help with tumbling but you may want to ask a coach or tumble instructer what is right for you to do in that category

In the DVD volume 7 Boris provides a detailed verbal explanation followed by on screen caption commentaries at the time of demonstration on how to perform necessary warm up routine, including dynamic movements in vertical and a horizontal positions, on most body regions, post isometric relaxation techniques, appropriate exercises and more. This DVD is designed as a home study educational program and contains theoretical as well as practical parts. It’s easy to study and you can use offered techniques immediately.
Note that jogging and stretching alone is by far not enough for warm-up. Such routine can lead you to injury. If light jog and stretch describes your warm-up routine, you should learn from this volume# 7 DVD. Presented techniques and exercises will contribute significantly to neuromuscular reeducation (eliminations of compensatory movement and restoration of normal neuromuscular assembly work), which will help you to prevent sports related injuries as well to perform better in your sports discipline weather it is football, baseball, basketball, Olympic sports, martial arts or any other sport.

I’m not a very fit person, but, when I want to do something, I just do stretches and stuff for a few months, and then I’m flexible enough (splits and stuff)

I’ll assume bending over, without bending my knees to touch my toes would have the same concept?

What stretches should I try/practise to achieve this?

This is a good site to help touch your toes…

I wonder when is it too late to do leg stretching for taekwondo-like training, i.e. doing all those kicks, including high-level kicks. At what age will it be too late for leg stretching? I am almost 29 now and I wonder if my leg can still be trained to do split, for example, and ultimately prepare for high-level kicks training.

It’s not too late, but getting there will require more patience and following the rules more closely. You can do splits, but don’t be misled into thinking you can do high kicks because you can do splits, or that splits are required to do high kicks. Neither are true, but so many people have this expectation – unless your goal is flashy kicks, and not sparring.

Remember, most of your high kicks need to reach no more than a few inches above an opponent your size or less. Anyone larger, you don’t want to be using high kicks. So to kick higher than your opponent your size, you will find that split position isn’t necessary.

Read Tom Kurz’s books, DVD, and web site; he explains everything scientifically and accurately, and posts his sources and experiences. He gives good stretching advice, but unfortunately, he leaves out development of power, at least, to my liking. But start with this, it’s excellent reading.

Good luck!

As there are no kicking in Boxing and BJJ (or may be very little in BJJ), are there any leg stretches/leg splits/groin stretches done in training classes of Boxing and BJJ? Thanx. If so, do they do full leg splits?

im not really sure im pretty sure they strecth jsut so the muscles arent tight i think bjj stretch more cuz they gotta reach around with there legs and shit. but i definetly know TKD do full groin stretches splits and everything becasue we do higher kicks and tkd is more kicks than aything

Hey, I’m a guy and I was wondering how to do a splits and become way more flexible? I don’t do any other sport besides football and wrestling, so I don’t think I’m very flexible. What are like, a bunch of stretches I can do? I don’t want to do cheerleading, gynmastics or anything.
uh, not so much for the splits man, as I want to just increase my range of motion and lessen my chances of injury. I messed up my shoulders during wrestling, I don’t want to do it again this year.

basically I don;t thin k doing the splits is a good idea, but you could get more flexible by just spreading your legs and trying to bring your chest to you knee, and then your chest to the floor -like between your legs . but if you DO want to do the splits I answered questions about the splits a lot of times, just look up my answers page, and you should find it there x)

as for your arms just basic warm up stretches should be enough. So bring one hand over your chest and with the other hand pull it close to your body until you feel the pull in your arm. if you’re really flexible and you don’t feel the stretch even when your arm is really close to your body, then fold your arm around your neck and push your elbow as far as it goes.

another stretch is to put your hand up, bend it in the elbow and make it touch your back, then push at your elbow.

you should move your shoulders in a circular motion to loosen them -but i think you know that.

if you want your back to be flexible..maybe try doing the bridge?

But i think that before any sport everybody should stretch properly, especially your neck. hey and before stretching like for flexibility you should take a hot shower since you need your muscles to relax.

hope I helped x)
