Does anyone know any good stretching routines that can be done like three times a week to develop practical flexibility for things like high roundhouses high push kicks and for manouvering on the ground? I really have no idea about different theorys about stretching so if anyone has any info. it would be a lot of help.
Also if anyone knows stretches to help get lower on squats and deadlifts that would be helpful.
GReat thanks for that. So basically just summing up what that guy beleives. Is that I should to dynamic sport specific stretching such as leg raises twice a day to help me with flexiblity for my sport?
you need diff. types of flex. for being good a jj and being able to kick high…the muscles you feel when doing splits will help high kicks…for jj you need hip mobility
Everything you need to know is in the book:
“Stretching Scientifically” by Thomas Kurz M.Sc.
In the cover the guy is doing the splitz in two chairs, a la Vandame. Thanks to this book, I can do the same, but not so well.
Hope it helps, good training
