Jujimufu How to enter the side splits

[@Xaimi]

Just tried it. By the power invested in my hip flexors...he is right.

[@jujimufu]

Thank you for adding that testimony, we needed it (not sarcasm).

[@Xaimi]

Acrobolix haha no problem at all. I have been training box splits poorly for a while. So as soon as I did it, I felt the welcome difference.

[@markdangerfield9227]

Juji & Tom more

[@markdangerfield9227]

Juji & Tom Yes I see that now you can get back to me when you want to

[@MrFlexlelin]

Yes, great words about "isometric stretches being better than relaxed ones" and how this has become a dogma nowadays. Great advice on this video. Thanks very much!

[@mexlatino77]

Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge with us! you are a great inspiration. :)

[@jujimufu]

+carlossj3 it's my destiny.

[@stingytrevor]

I love it basically provides the best instructional on how to get into a side split in 3 min!!

[@LUCAS7V]

Great! Althouth I have been training some martial arts for the past yearsI have never heard about some of the things you saidd like staying upright and using a chair, Thanks.

[@kickmasterbengarton7577]

Thanks so much for this tip Juji!! This has helped me a lot! I am able to go deeper than I have ever been able to before but I'm still not all the way yet but it's gettig close!

[@TheRealUncannyValley]

thank you so much !!! I really needed this for my jiu jitsu training. I tried this last night and I could actually lower myself more than I have ever been :D

[@convict240]

Just started training like this. I want to see if I can have it in a year. I'll post again after a year.

[@joeyboy8873]

Got an update?

[@katycooper9886]

Any update yet?

[@Maxi-tx2uk]

You can make it in 30 days

[@convict240]

@@katycooper9886 I'm getting there. About four inches from the ground.

[@kulhrada6900]

imma try as well

[@cjmadison2397]

I'm a really flexible guy. In fact, I can do the middle splits. It's quite hard though to keep getting more and more flexible with intense weightlifting though but I keep at it. This technique exposed some tightnesses that I have. Thank you for sharing

[@carolyn.a.lambrou]

Omg you are really funny 😂 In my 2nd week of splits here. Really enjoyed watching this video. Love your approach. Thank you for sharing!!

[@Nikkyeshiva83]

you should be doing movies by now. we havent had a ripped martial artist in decades. scott adkins is getting old. bolo is in his 70s.

[@peanutbutler3078]

Nik B I think that he stopped doing Taekwondo now but yeah the martial arts movie industry is really dying out.

[@mikethelegend1101]

u ever heard of Lateef Crowder?

[@iDigsGiantRobots]

So I just did this exact move with the chair and thought I had come up with some kind of novel method becaude it was so fucking effective. So I googled "holding chair side split" and found this. Why this isn't the top KZbin result on side splits I do not know. It's a great method without the bullshit.

[@EdwardVarner]

And now I know why I never got my side splits! When I have the money for your book, I will be buying it!! Thanks Brother :)

[@spiqui8336]

Edward Varner buy it yet? =))

[@leoaxum4207]

Thanks for sharing, i got my side split after watching this

[@sprazer]

Great stuff , this is actually what i needed. Thanks. Now can u make a front split one?

[@Cietru]

I've always been super flexible, at some point I was stretching all the time and using my feet for everything from turning on and off light switches to closing the boot of my car. The front splits were always easy buy I never got close to the side split. It never occurred to me to use a chair. All those years feel wasted now.

[@submissionartist444]

Thank you so much for this! Been getting great progress from all your videos.

[@Milkyman92]

intro 10/10 i loved it

[@tylergresham6743]

Jujimufu, how should i position my knees when starting to go down?should there be space? should I have my knees locked or should I leave them slightly bent?

[@nistheiceman]

If the goal is to keep the hip extended, could we use the chair behind oneself while stretching instead of ahead of us?

[@riverholley5705]

if juji was a dessert, he'd be a banana split :-)

[@jujimufu]

+River Holley River?! Is that youuuuuu? :-)

[@riverholley5705]

[@ashspawk1206]

really useful advice, thanks dude

[@jamesleigh900]

Thanks Juji!

[@marcattili]

these how to videos are awesome

[@jujimufu]

[@marcattili]

Fuck yeah!

[@Len_J_]

If you stay upright holding the chair how do you not fall back once you get further down?

[@tubetubeunit]

32 years old here. Is it possible to reach side splits with proper training nd stretchin???? btw i miss your collab with Vaillant. But all this new material of yours is awsome! tks!

[@jujimufu]

Thanks Jason. Yes it is possible, very possible my friend. But you won't get it if you don't want it, you have to want it, and actually give a fuck about it. Why do you want it? What will you get out of it? What is the reward? Is the reward worth it?

[@AndersGenaamd]

So did you manage to do it?

[@dhaliabhijeet]

@@AndersGenaamd I think no

[@jaycie2213]

I'm surprised he doesn't talk about the importance of the ''pelvic tilt'' to enter the split to avoid hip impingement. Also, doing the split with toes pointing up is also considered a middle split in my opinion. That's what JCVD would always do in his movies.

[@FernandoAlva96]

Thanks for this video, I have a question: Should I warm up before doing this? thank you

[@RocknRollkat]

ABSOLUTELY warm up !

[@User.mario.lawrence.]

Big fan..🎉

[@lofivalentine9852]

Hey Juji, I purcahsed your Legendary Flexibility book and the link to your Front Split Training Secrets seems to be broken. This link works as well as the one to Extreme Relaxed Splits. What happened to the third video?

[@junioranae9974]

So would you train everyday until you got it right? Or did you take some rest days like you would when working out? If so, then what kinda routine did you keep?

[@ameersara7730]

Clear and straight

[@LarsHarmsen1337]

Should I be warmed up before attempting this?

[@Longboard914]

Yea

[@laragradunbaragradun9605]

I love that he is for real! Thank you for keeping the BS OUT! (I love the tee btw)

[@Fanisliverpool1892]

Hey man, i just discovered you and you're something that we don't see often, you're awesome. Anyway am not here to complement you but to ask straight out a question even if you don't answer i'll give it a try. How long to hold a stretch, how many sets to do and how many times in a week to do a stretching routine to improve your flexibility? I know there isn't any congruent answer out there yet but hearing the opinion and advice of someone who already got there might be helpful. Thanks a lot either you answer or not and keep up the good work!!! Am waiting to see more funny, awesome, helpful videos from you.

[@jujimufu]

+Fanis93 All this information is in the ebook man! Routines in the back of the book with exact #s and times. :-)

[@danielul05]

Thanks. On point, easy to understand

[@leonnnnnzz]

Thank you very much now I learn fast because I can do the mid split but side split now I got thank you :)

[@SapiaNt0mata]

i started doing karate. how often should i do splits? i ask cause i don't want to skip lessons due to soreness the other day after doing splits, etc

[@MrDiosMetalero]

This should help me get further. nice!

[@Toronto2011NiA]

Thank you for providing great information. I appreciate it.

[@MrKrOn13]

Many advocate that you should push your hips back and not be so upright.Is it an other way or a false method?

[@dojajkox]

Should a beginner take this approach, or just work on static stretching? I can do sidesplit 15-18 inches from the ground max. Should I be even talking about splits when I am this stiff?

[@jessejanzen1050]

Boris Marjanovic keep stretching I guess I am working on splits for 1 month and almost got the side split

[@ASAP1992]

has the side split any benefits for weight training?

[@michaelkhan3628]

Is it possible for anyone to do the splits if they have never done it before and want to practice?

[@ramizbari8923]

Hi, thanks for the info you've provided in your last vids just wanted to ask if it was possible to progress from a straddle split to side split? And if so how?

[@jujimufu]

From a straddle split to a side split? I think the difference is in staying upright! Use a chair my friend!

[@ramizbari8923]

Thank you for your response i'll certainly try using the chair technique

[@stepxedgrowtopia2433]

Thanks for the tips Bro!!

[@IliasThermos]

Hey Juji, i got the book, and trying the routine as well The think is im getting a pain in the right side of my right knee... Feels like a ligament or sort. I don't fell any strech at the hamstring or the abductors cause of it. What do i do? Do i go through it? or just be patient?

[@jujimufu]

Be patient man, if you feel pain don't push it. It's all about consistency and listening to your body

[@pharohsnowy]

i tired to do the splits this way but i reach a certine level lets say 30 cm of the ground and then my toes have to point upwards or i have to lean forward. i get so much pain at the back of my hips if i keep my body upright and my feet flat on the Ground, i dont know if i am doing something wrong or it is my hips bones structure?

[@08Shade80]

just let your feet go onto the sides a bit that's ok

[@nickfalciani5303]

Thank you for the information!😊

[@12mkamran]

It's probably a bit late to ask this question, but what to do if your hips hurt, I don't mean muscle hurt, but rather bone hurt. It feels like they are not aligned properly or something that doesn't allow me to go to full splits

[@williamwest7008]

It's probably a bit late answering this but you should tilt your pelvis into anterior pelvic tilt position by sticking your butt out as far as you can. This will create space for your bones to move. The feeling you're experiencing is your bones jamming against each other.

[@vitoria96634]

Thank you!

[@ytmyeti4864]

Great video, thank you

[@massivojohnson]

Reps? Sets? Frequency?

[@seanmagnusson2581]

If I do this everyday for 30 minutes to an hour (not all in one go) could I end up reaching the side splits from that?

[@08Shade80]

yes

[@rachidhennous4131]

the best way 💪💪👌👌

[@Haki4th]

Thx a bunch !!

[@StickyPaw]

this is one of my goalz

[@devilchildsteve3978]

What about the risk of the socket joint impacting the pelvis? If you don’t stick your butt out you won’t create the clearance needed to expand the range of motion without hitting your pelvis with your leg.

[@Arkcoid]

It depends on the person

[@StarsAreBright]

Me: watches video Me x2: Does what he says and almost immediately hits the floor and hands slip off the chair and onto the ground. IM SOO CLOSSEEEE

[@rippedboy14]

how long do you hold it and how many times

[@Len_J_]

Omar S I have the same question. Anyone?

[@rossclement7321]

This is a 2021 goal

[@MrMattias87]

How long do you recommend in holding the stretch for and how many reps?

[@augustuslodholz5453]

MrMattias87 to get splits I go for a minute then take a couple minutes brake and do 2-4 times. This helped me achieve front splits still working on sides though

[@jump312]

Man you sound like Joe Rogan sometimes haha great stuff

[@breakdancerQ]

Goddammit, feels like I get stuck on the last part. I still have 6-7 cm to go but it feels like I'm not improving anymore or just improving at a extremely slow rate.

[@MrMitchSH]

In his video on how he got his full splits he said he trained his splits every day for 2 months, then he couldn't train for 10 days for some reason, came back and he fell right into his splits. Maybe try taking a week off practicing to let your body recuperate a little.

[@zachfraser7483]

That was the best

[@mariuszgaluszko5148]

dzięki

[@chrisc9098]

How many sets and reps do you do? and how long do you hold you split for along with your rest period?

[@CapybaraEnthusiast882]

I just did 10 minutes of stretching out each leg individually so 10 minutes per leg stretching out one leg as far as possible and having my knee at a 90 degree angle and getting out of it after the 10 minutes it’s like learning how to walk again for me first few seconds after standing up it’s pretty painful.

[@domfella]

You went to hard to soon man

[@shades4313]

Juji, this may be a dumbass question to you. But i'm a noob, so bear with me. Why is it that whenever I do this exact stretch, my butt muscles really hurt? this is not the 'good' pain either, it actually hurts like hell. is this normal? Do I just deal with it? Another thing, I've never heard of someone else having this problem, which to me, is strange.

[@Longboard914]

you aren't doing it correctly, you may be leaning too far forward

[@pandapowah3527]

Probably you simply have very weak butt muscles actually... side split is a combination of stretched muscles ( adductors/harmstrings) and strong butt and generally hip extensor muscles, which are antagonists to the adductors (which are hip flexors)... so if you pay attention to it, while training the split you definetly contract the butt, especially in active stretches... Briefly, if you stretch one side of the body (agonist) you contract the other side (antagonist), to get the splits you need to be both strong and stretched. Hope this helps ^^

[@shades4313]

Stefano Bodria Thanks, i suspected as much. makes a lot of sense

[@JrFireweb]

Hey Juji, curious about your opinion since you seem to know a thing or two about stretching. But first off, thanks for all the amazing content. Do you think some people are just genetically fucked and are never able to get flexible? I am by no means looking to achieve the same flexibility as you, but a little bit more than I have now would be nice. I have been stretching for 10-20 minutes per day now for a very long time now (2 years or something) but I have barely made any progress even though my flexibility still kinda sucks. Thanks!

[@Longboard914]

double your water intake, eat 5 cups of potatoes or yams per day (for potassium) 2 cups boiled spinach or beet greens (for magnesium) and go harder while stretching in general. you should be sore the next morning

[@JrFireweb]

Fern Doolittle Thanks mate, will try. Always shaking like a mad man after stretching lately so going pretty hard (atleast that is what I think), sometimes a little bit sore bit not to often. My main goal is lifting so it can not compromise those trainings.

[@Longboard914]

electrolytes (potassium, magnesium, sodium, calcium) will definitely help you recover/keep you relaxed and not shaky

[@JrFireweb]

Fern Doolittle Will look into that, shaking after some stretches is sometimes ridiculous. Thanks.

[@nmccreight]

Flexibility is a physical quality, like strength, or speed. Some people are naturally stronger than others, some people are naturally faster than others, and some people are more naturally flexible than others. But everyone can get stronger, faster, or more flexible if they train it

I don't agree that a chair should be used. It's a crutch that doesn't develop proper active strength and makes them rely on the chair or put their hands on the floor.
