Thanks man, I’ve just recently started doing Karate again after a few years off and I’m nowhere near as flexible as I used to be, doing this daily will surely help.

@@tgdb4968 Hey there, I did Shotokan and Kyokushin karate for 3 years when I was 17, now I'm 29 and started doing Kyokushin again 3 months ago. Have you been doing the stretches shown in the video? Can you tell us about your progress? I am pretty flexible but I want to improve until I can easily do the splits so I am looking for some great tutorials in this regard.

I managed to get about half way to that level but 50 years later I'm afraid I can only dream. Excellent stuff and look after those knee joints that's what got me. First class

Cheers mate. Yeah I completely understand. Much respect and keep doing what you can sir! 💪🏻🙏🏻

[@_mrundercoverhd_]

Oh. I have been sitting in front of my computer all day for the past few months and became really unflexible. When I recently started doing sports again I decided to do wheighted squats for whatever reason and I think I overstretched some ligaments in my knee joint. 🤦

[@losfromla1480]

@@_mrundercoverhd_ weighted squats are how you get strong. Nothing wrong with doing them, so long as you use good form.

How many days , in order to achieve full stretch

[@adamatsuzhao2277]

This routine is before or after the training ?

[@Kumofan]

I can’t speak for the presenter, but *after* is generally best practice. There are no tangible benefits to stretching before exercise rather than after. In fact, it can be a bad decision for a couple reasons: 1. Static stretching without having warmed up enough can cause muscle tears. A quick warm up is not enough for this level of stretch. 2. Stretching before exercise can decrease performance. 3. Static stretching before something like karate may be dangerous, as it can allow you to overextend in a kick. This all said, a dynamic stretching routine might be fine as part of a warm up, but this static one would be only advisable after your training session. It also serves as a cool-down period as an added benefit.

[@veersingh2730]

Good masrter kiukusinkai halp me to find a woman.thunk.s god bless

[@gabrielfemino1017]

Can i do it with no warm-up?

[@Cloudy0w0]

If you want to hurt yourself and be out of training for ages, maybe even end up in hospital, then yeah, go for it. A guy at our dojo ended up in hospital and is in a wheelchair for the foreseeable future because he didnt want to warm up. If you really must be lazy, whether you just dont want to warm up or you dont have the extra time, it only takes a few mins to do something simple, a few burpees, or even just some star jumps to get the blood flowing, then some light range of motion strecthes to get the muscles ready. Probably take you two miniutes. Even if its not a full warmup, its better than trying to stretch cold muscle.

[@johncsernica2175]

How long can we do that?

[@neompya8272]

Hello Senpai Roland ive been doing shotokan and( Im a blue belt) i would like to switch kyokushin... Do you think its best to start of at white belt or not?

[@RGMARTIALARTS]

OSU my friend. I would definitely recommend you to start off with white belt whenever you step into a new discipline. I know it can be challenging sometimes and maybe even demotivating but it will definitely help you keep the learning mentality you need to become the best you can possibly be. I wish you all the best in your transition and may you be successful! OSU! Take care.

[@victorsrur134]

this hip rotation is a dynamic stretch,to warm the muscles and give them blood and nutrients

[@RGMARTIALARTS]

Absolutely! You said it. 💪🏻

[@james777ko2]

If you are talking about standing up while rotating your hips in a circular motion one direction then the other, it's actually to flex your spine helping to keep it in alignment. This is why it could help relieve the pain of stretching.

[@drshayan3624]

Please guide me when I can reach at that full split which you did at video 5:55 .

Nice stretching routine but these won't work for anybody over age 50. Most younger coaches do not understand this. Bodies change as they age.

[@james777ko2]

I'm 60 years old and these stretches do indeed still work for older people. I first took Taekwondo at age 25 and due to military commitments I had to stop. A couple months after turning age 60 I started up again. I've only been doing these stretches for a couple of weeks and the improvement is really something. I still have a long way to go but my kicks are easier to do and are higher.

[@waltmorton1190]

@@james777ko2 Sure, stretching in some form improves flexibility at all ages. Not everybody is built the same. If you can do these stretches at 60, count yourself lucky. Out of several hundred karate black belts I know, a large percentage get hip or knee problems as they age. Hip and knee replacements are common. I trained for a while with Hideo Ochi (9th dan) who was phenomenally flexible in his 60's (he's 80 now and still flexible.) But he is one of these rare exceptions. There are definitely genetic variables in flexibility and skeletal construction. Also, possibly Ochi's ability to be so flexible owes in part to him stretching every day, never missing a day, for 90 solid minutes.
