Bahahaha. That last line killed me!

[@kristiisham3711]

I don’t have the core strength to do it without momentum. You guys are some badasses!

[@ademirjunior3090]

This was very interesting and helpful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@SD33332]

So much amazing content here! This video really hits home since my back is so inflexible

[@ninpowarrior]

Awesome Stephan. Thank You very much

[@VengaAqui]

Damn Stephan, totally killed it with the reference to yoga, that's exactly what happens when in that position during yoga. You work so well with everyone, thanks for everything.

[@coachburger9384]

Inversions are always tricky. Thanks!

[@bobyy8888]

Yes that was neccesary to know. Thanks Master Kesting for sharing this.

[@StephanKesting]

I'm so glad it was useful. And please, call me Stephan!

[@scottdobbs2595]

Good stuff

[@earthwormjxm]

Very informative

[@zerlegen3919]

This is perfect, but what stretches or exercise can I do to get flexible enough to get my feet behind my head like you did?

[@UndefeatedEagle]

I got the same problem

[@buzzedaldrin8445]

I tried this video earlier, I’m in the emergency room in a brace now.

[@crossfire1129]

i like to keep my judo/jiujitsu, before, level 3.

[@alen7648]

Where are the drills to that ?

[@JulianSloman]

Way to burry the lead here! The whole time I was thinking "but will it be enough?!" to do the thing mentioned right at the end and then finally he says yes... probably... practice here we _come_ ;)

[@robynreeeee]

I dont think anyone in the comments caught what you said at the very end 🤣🤣😭

[@tariktyler]

This wasn’t an instruction as much as it was a demonstration. I need details!

[@VengaAqui]

All the details you need are in this video, perhaps you should replay it a few times. Or rather, watch the other one where only his guest is explaining the same drill, seems like they filmed it on the same day but what do I know. Stephan knows what he is doing, especially when it comes to details. He even brought up yoga as reference to give you a further understanding of how important it is to have the fundamentals down because you can get hurt or even put yourself in a vulnerable position which is part of what he is teaching you to avoid. If that's not extensive information, then I don't know what is. Watch the video again, then get on the mat and drill it. You can practice on your own when your rolling buddies aren't available, how beautiful is that. You'll get it eventually.

[@ccorday]

It requires flexibility, and core strength! I'm working on it, fam.

[@MohaymenPK]

This is very sketchy to me seeing people paralyzed from neck & back injuries

[@zz5970]

BJJ is not for everyone

[@DJSaez-vz8os]

I broke my rib cartilage 7 weeks ago and still healing, should’ve watched this lol
