This technique works great! My left wrist was always stiff and weak. Within minutes of doing this I gained a noticable amount of flexibilty without the usual aches. I can do this anywhere since it requires no equipment. Thank you!

[@Theembodimentchannel]

Good to see a fellow Brit aikidoka here!

[@hoxyBeast]

@Aiki33, thank you sensei!

[@thecosmy1]

Thanks for this video, it definitly helped me! I'm an armwrestler so my wrists get pretty beat up.

[@hoxyBeast]

Love it! Are there any more? I'm trying to learn planche now proceeding to advanced tuck planche... any other advice on increasing wrist flexibility for planche? Hopefully you can help...

[@dunkenFrancis]

@hoxyBeast There are a huge amount of wrist strenghtenng/flexibility excercises out there, including advanced techniques such as press-up on the backs of the wrists. check out my other videos - search for "press-ups"

[@dunkenFrancis]

@Jerzeecanuck A Pleasure!

[@Mahiratfanclub24]

Tell me about shoulder's stretch sir my left shoulder is very weak

[@bicycle551]

How many times per day for CTS?

[@dunkenFrancis]

Daily is fine, just don't overdo it. Gradually increase the depth of the stretch but listen to your body.

[@bicycle551]

So what happened to doing press-ups on the back of the wists with the hands facing in and out as well as doing all the other type of pressups I have done all my life.... THAT WILL develop strong and flexible wrists and forearms!!... "Aikidoka today are pussies... Of that I have no doubt!!....

[@dunkenFrancis]

Like this you mean? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJ3SnamvgbWSaZo I like being a pussy btw, Have been for all 40 years I've been training.. Come and train with us if you are ever local, Be interested to see what you can show us, always keen to learn.

[@towag]

Yes Dunken, thanks! Thats more like it!!....Before aikido practised judo, amateur boxing, goju ryu karate, wing chun gung fu before taking up hard style Tomiki aikido since 1974... Competed at National level... A 4th Dan and was a senior coach for the Britsh Aikido Association.... Ran two clubs during the later 70's up till the early 90's... Was a peripetetiical instructor going to BAA clubs across the South, while training most days... Got fed up and sick to death of the inevitable politics and the way "aikido" was going generally, which to my mind has degenerated into a type of "martial" dance and calithenics and quite useless from a self-defence POV.... Then after '93 went my own way... Never looked back... Produced a handful of exceptional students who could/can actually look after themselves!!.... Carry on being a pussy bud if thats what you like?.... Its gone that way so what difference will it make? I'm clear in my own conscience that I was upfront with everybody I taught and practised with... I now disassociate with the term "aikido" and now just simply call it martial arts, if anybody asks... Look at my channel, there are a few videos if you care to look... Have a nice one...

[@dunkenFrancis]

I think you missed the irony in my response mate, but you are always welcome to come visit, dojo has an open door policy. We cross train with our local jiujutsu/BJJ brothers and and wing chun and Wado ryu experience within our ranks so you'll find it a fairly feline-free zone... :)

[@towag]

Thanks, but at 64 I've more or less retired from the game and now teach a simple form for those who might be interested... I've moved away from what is useless and obsolete and now just practise what actually works... . I get a few people that take private lessons and I teach it for free as long as they pay for any travel and accommodation costs!!.... I don't have a dojo anymore!! Got fed up with being poor and my family suffering for it....
