Martial Arts Stretching

Please answer! I’m 14 and am really passoionate of dancing. ballet is my favourite. Please help me. I need as many flexibility stretches as possible. Please answer:D
Thanx everyone!

I’m 13, and I really love ballet too!
Recently my teacher told me that the fact that I wasn’t flexible, was holding me back, and that I should start stretching. I did some research, and I came up with a list of exercises that you can do. I tried including them in my answer, but it was too long, so instead, e-mail me, and I’ll give you the stretches.

Good luck becoming flexible!

I’ve been looking into leg stretching machines for a while. I do Taekwondo and was hoping it could help with my flexibility, however considering how much they are I wonder if they are worth the investment.

Has anyone tried them? What were your results?

I have one handed down to me from my dad, it’s a side splits one, made by century. I used it a couple of times, and it’s pretty cool, but serves the same purpose as training side splits on the ground or on a wall. The best thing about the machine is it tells you the degree of your split, and it applies pressure to your inner thighs instead of on your feet like it you were using a wall. I stopped using it because it’s heavy and cumbersome to set up for only one stretch. I’ve had great results practicing side splits without the machine.

I know this might sound stupid but i do 200 sit ups and 80 press ups every single day (more than a year now-started gradually) + stretches. I want to know an easy more natural way of learning martial arts and increasing my punch speed and power. I want trust able methods of training myself. Any martial arts teachers out there of any arts e.g. taekwondo, judo karate, ju jitsu etc. answers would be appreciated.

Your conditioning seems quite good but I’m sorry you can’t teach yourself martial arts via tips over the internet you need to start training at a club of some kind no matter what style it is, the best kind of training for martial arts is live sparring and you can’t do that at home even with a friend and safety gear you need to go to a proper club where you can learn the techniques properly from an instructor, have someone their to help you condition yourself and motivate you to keep training harder and harder but in a safe environment(granted if ever in a street confrontation you won’t have that but you should try and avoid being badly injured while training), the only way you could ever come close to being able to learn martial arts at home is inviting an instructor to come to your house where they could charge any amount of money for a private lesson that lasts an hour or less,but if you go to a club once or twice a week on the days you don’t train ask a fellow student who you’ve gotten to know, a more advanced student hopefully, over to help drill techniques with you that you went over in class that week and because they know safer ways to train and spar you won’t be in as much of a dangerous training environment as you would be if training with an inexperienced friend

What are some examples of FLEXIBILITY STRETCHES?? some good ones hehe xx thanks

Splits, heel stretches, high kicks, back bends/bridges, sit in a straddle position and bend over and touch your toes, get your leg on something a little over waist high( ballet barre concept) and stretch. Follow a yoga/pilates video once or twice a week.

I made this video from being inspired by all the bad videos people make. I just want to show you better ways to stretch than the other videos, things people dont usually explain or know. Ive been in gymnastics for 9 years so i know what im talking about. enjoy! :]

i need to improve my back flexibility to be able to improve my back bend and backbend kickover. if there are any good stretches then that would be good. Also any shoulder flexibility stretches.

There really aren’t any good stretches for this, the best thing you can do is just back bends

This short sequence shows a version of a Leg Stretching Sequence. There is a Hamstring Stretch, a Pigeon or Figure-4 Stretch, and a Side Twist. All of these stretches are passive, assisted, and progressive stretches.
