This is the first KZfaq video I’ve seen with real info on split training.

finally, someone that’s not a 12 year old gymnast who tells me to just “do it” lol

This guy:"The legs aren't designed to go that far" Also this guy: SO HERES HOW TO MAKE THEM GO THAT FAR

10/10. The amount of time you put into your videos is amazing. You deserve so many more subs.

I am 43 years old .. and i can do the full split after 8 months ! Respect 😎

This is a one in a million explanation on how to work towards creating a slide split. . I have never seen anyone talk about this. Thanks so much for this video.

You probably just saved my hip joints

Wow!! Did we just watch all of that in less than 15 minutes?! Anyone else felt like it was a full lecture hour of a bout three times the amount? That was surprisingly informative in it's impressively organized pace. So well packaged! I know many that give a lot less information that takes longer and sticks less. This was "teaching" at its best

I’ve been training in martial arts for twenty years and haven’t made progress in my side splits. This video finally explained to me why. This is literally life changing information. I’m going to start incorporating this information into my training and finding the positions that work for me.

Ive always been flexible but the side split felt impossible. Just by correcting my form I'm almost able to do it already. Amazing! I subscribed

I just tried your tips about rotation of the hips and after ages of training I got my split for the first time! In only one day with your tips! ( I was already close but stuck ) thank you! Iove you!🙏😱💛

mate, Ive been looking for a video just like that for a long time now. Thanks for puting out great and nicely backed up content,

No one was ever able to explain that topic so well to me. However I'm still scared to break my hips when I attempt doing this :(.

I love when people explain in a coherent, straightforward and organized way. Great animations, too. Thanks.

After 100 years of split training, someone finally explained it properly!

Excellent Video. I also am one of the few people who learned to split as an adult. Every thing in this video is correct but he left one thing out. If you can't split as an adult follow this video with one addendum. You must treat the stretching as a type of body building. After you have stretched as much as you can you need to learn to hold your body weight up while splitting as much as you can. You won't be able to do this at first but take as much weight off of your hands as possible; increasing the weight on your leg muscles. Once you can hold your body weight up, press your legs into the ground with your muscles 4 times for ten seconds. Do this about 2 times per week. This will build up the muscles and lenghen the muscles allowing you do eventually do the full splits. The body weight is perfect for this because the further your legs are apart the more leverage your weight has on your muscles.

my sis always complains she has stiffer hips than me so she cant do this lol, im sending the vid to her

Absolutely loved this one! I'm sold, been looking to understand side split and stretched as a whole, and you covered every single point beautifully💯

He deserves so much attention for his research/knowledge!

This is exactly the spirit lifting I needed after stalling with my stretches and being angry at my body for being made that way. Going back to stretching with a more open mind.

Holy cow!! This is an incredible video! I’ve never seen anyone explain the actual physiology behind it while also recommending strengthening the muscles. Great work!!

10/10 for professionalism with pleasant, straightforward, and clear presentation.

This literally gold. Best and most clear Split video on KZfaq

Gotta say, man, his voice is soo soothing

Dude, I've been trying to find a channel like this for ages now. This is absolutely perfect in not only getting me to eventually do the splits but also just generally helpful with becoming more flexible. Keep up the good work, you deserve way more subs.

as a person who trains martial arts i can comfirm this has helped me alot.

Among the huge amount of side split tutorials on YT, this is BY FAR the BEST and more comprehensive one. Congratulations!

the effort that has gone on this video and the energy is limitless, so happy this was shown in recommend

As a martial arts instructor, this is not only going to help me, but my students. Thanks so much for this!

Finally a different and a logic content away from the same repeated bla bla bla... that's what I've been looking for for long time! Thank you 👍🙏💕

This is the most in depth middle split training video I have every seen. Thank you for this!

I have been practicing middle splits for almost a year now and came across your video. You explain so much that I needed to know. Thanks! I'll follow up with the program.

wow the content is solid, with amazing video production behind it. Thanks for making this free!

Best splits lesson on KZfaq, HANDS DOWN!!

More value out of your presentation than what I've seen in the past...Direct and to the point. Good Job!!! You deserve all the applause you get. And thank you for your insight

I love how well you know what your colors are, and how you’ve incorporated them harmoniously into not only your wardrobe, but your surroundings and graphics, as well. 👌 👏 Makes it so aesthetically-satisfying to watch. 😊

This video should get 500k views for real

My hips hurt just watching this guy side split

You know what kind of video would make millions of views... If you had linked under this video a "follow along workout", a 1h or 30 min full workout for split would have been great.

This is like one of the best quality tutorials ive seen. amazing visual aids. cant help but be amazed by your production.

As a practitioner and teacher myself, so much respect for your practice and the way of teaching that is evident from this video alone. Thank you

This is the exact video I've been searching for! The way that you explain anatomically what's going on and why almost made me cry! I have never been able to do center splits and I'm 36 now thinking it's never going to happen... And it still may not but at least I understand biomechanically what I need to do to give myself the best chance. Thank you so much for this video and the free training! More people need to explain their videos like you do.

This is awesome. You covered the most important details in such a clear manner. Even if someone just watched this video and nothing else, they'd be on their way to more efficient and healthier side split training. This content is light years ahead of the rest of side split videos.

This is the video I have been waiting for! Thank you so much for having taken the time to explain everything so well.

Be(a)st sidesplit video I have seen yet! Watched it the twice. These videos are so useful. I would really enjoy a video about mechanics of backbridge.👌👌

thank you so much for making this content available for free!!! I’ve been struggling to get the middle split for 1 year, but your tips are helping me improve a lot lately and I’m really close to get it now

I have been doing the full splits as part of my regular workout since 1990. After all that time, this video actually made the splits easier for me, best splits video I have ever heard of.

This is a very meticulous break down of how our anatomy functions in relation to accomplish the splits. Great video.

i literally got my full middle split after watching this video and seeing the super clear and detailed explanation of how to sit back with your chest up.subbed thank you so much!

So glad the algorithm brought your video to me. I’m trying to get back a lot of my lost flexibility after an injury, and your explanation of all the different muscles and ligaments that come under strain with and/or limit this stretch was incredibly thorough. Side splits have always been a weakness of mine, but hopefully I can change that! Thanks!!

WOW this FREE information is GOLD! 10x better than the other programs I got in the past! thank you!

Great material! Perfect level of depth and so applicable! Thank you!

This is an amazing free content!

I've been searching for YEARS for a good middle split explanation and stretches and none of them worked. FINALLY I found this video and I've never been happier😭❤

I have been training ALL YEAR to hit middle splits by new years. Today with your video advice I finally hit it!!!! WOW. My position was just slightly wrong. I am so so thankful 🙏

Amazing explanation!!!! Thank you so much!!! Thank you for going into the mechanism, the joints and muscles! Great video! Top notch!!!

I learned so much in a few minutes. Stopped at 4:50" to hit the subscribe button. This is gold. So happy I found this channel 🤗😍 🙏

Just logged in to give you a solid shout out - the clarity, clearness, cadence, and ease of your delivery is phenomenal. It’s actually quite calming just listening to you talk. So thanks for such a great video!

That was just the best video on side splits I've seen. Very well explained and well put together. Really helpful advice, hints and tips.

Your content is amazing 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

The most interesting and inspiring video about flexibility that I've ever seen. Wow. I follow you right now !

The most comprehensive and to the point video for side splits. Excellent !

That is probably the best video on stretching techniques I have ever see! Chapeau!

the thumbnail looks like it has the potential to reach 1M views

This is so perfectly explained! Thank you.

This IS the best one. Not subjective. I'm in school learning about fitness, nutrition, anatomy, etc. and your video has actual science behind it. Not just teaching muscle memory like eveey other vid. VERY safe and stability strength-building.

i have been looking for this videos for years. i couldnt thank you enough. all my questions answered. so many years iv been trying to understand . thank you so much

So glad this was recommended to me!!

Well explain and informative, easy to understand and feel safe to follow. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Just started back at martial arts training after 25 years away and wanna get to a stage I can split. Literally watched this video and tried it using your techniques and gone from 90° easily to 100/105° on the first try! Will be using this information and seeing how far I can go, thanks for fantastic info!

Indeed the BEST splits training video on youtube. I could do side splits, but wanted to do on chair. So the triangle method works best for me. The man really knows what hes doing and perhaps much more than others. All the best!!

Makes for impressive moves on the dance floor and silly comments at the gym.... GOOD STUFF MATE

Your voice is so soothing I wanted to cry at some point

Has to be the best explanation on this topic I've every seen or heard , absolutely gold thanks for sharing you've eased my mind!!

im 33, dont have formal training, have been actively researching how to split for 8 years...and you sir, have just blown my mind-subscribed here, followed u on ig, signed up for your free advice! and praise u for making it accessible for all!

This is incredible! I would love to see a similar breakdown of front splits.

This drastically improved my splits almost instantly. Thanks man

I have learnt more from this one video than the $60 online course I bought that taught you everything except how to do the splits. Saying "You will do the splits when you are ready" . Thanks for putting this video together mate.

Awesome video. I love that you walked through the knee pains because thats my biggest point of fear and tension with the spilts. I stared MA and having good flexibility is crucial. My teacher is 54 and his flexibility and stamina is is nothing short of being both phenomenal and inspiring. Ps. I am middle aged and I am doing more for my body now than ever before. Never give up on your body. You dont know how many years you got left so best to keep investing into it so your accountability now counts for your older years on earth. Health is wealth ❤

This is my favorite video about learning the side split so far! btw where are your anatomy animations from? Looking great greets

Gosh, I wish you were in South Africa so I can take classes in person

This video is fantastic. I love how in depth you go about the anatomy of splits. Very informative - More please!

Literally the best video I have even seen of the mechanics of side split. Thanks for that 🙏

Would be interesting to see the same type of video for front splits :)

OMG!! I'm so happy to across this video. However, I severely need help with loosening the adductor muscles and the gracilis.

im still reeling from how informative this video was. Would love to see this channel cover more topics in this style, especially climbing related training. Instant subscribed

This is really, really good. You go into the topic in such depth and detail, it's really impressive the work you've put in. Awesome.

Posting the best content as always!!!

Me: considering buying a training program Consciouness: but no one ever touched my heart Me: stumbles across this video Consciouness: go for it !! :D

Concise, educational, practical, informed and experienced. I'll let you know when I get my splits down! Thank you!

This video is remarkable, and it's easy to see that Matt is not your typical u-tuber. I learned such a lot from this video and he really deserves to have a huge following. It will come Matt, trust me....

Thanks! Anything on the front split?

Finally someone who actually explains it insteat of the "how to get your splits in 5 minutes with guaranteed results"

I've been doing static boring streches for over 3 months now, after a lower back injury. This video inspired me to do dynamic and active stretches, so I've been sweating like crazy while doing'em, and people like, "what is he struggling with?". Now I've set me a new goal, or motive, instead of spending time in the gym to build muscles that never function well in sport and daily tasks, so now I am willing to develop my mobility and flexibility to make my body function better in my favorite sport, basketball. You opened my mind to an entirely different mind state. I'll be coming back to watch this again and again. THANK YOU!

Dear Matthew, I love what you are doing. Thank you for your time and dedication. You are amazing and inspiring.

Honestly, I am here for a different reason...I discovered training middle splits is relieving some ongoing pain in my right lateral hip. (ex- gymnast here) Your breakdown is really helpful in explaining what a PT couldn't. I think it stretches my abductors in a deeper way that I need with my flexibility level.

I'm constantly reminded in a polite silence and pity that kids stretch, adults fall apart :\ I have been trying for YEARS, and didn't see much results. hope this vid will help me here

Best side split video I've ever seen in my life.

I love your way to teach. it's fantastic - a balance between showing correctly and rational explanation, really lovely.
