This is a tutorial on how to reach your full splits. I take you through stretches to warm up and elongate your muscles enough to reach your full splits. I also discuss strategies to tailor the routine to you and your specific body requirements.
There are several tools I recommend but do not require. The main one is the Si-Stretcher available at:
www.amazon.com/dp/B07DFGLF66
I also suggest a Si-Band which will not be available until Jan 1 2019. The Si-Band will be on amazon.com at that point.
I discuss in this tutorial several other videos that I will link there in. But they are on this same youtube channel.
I mention several things for safety, but will reiterate it here.
1. Stop Stretching if you feel pain
2. Never jerk or bounce your stretch
3. If you feel anything uncomfortable in your joints stop and adjust your stretch.

The only people I've seen with such control over all their muscles are ballet dancers. This is far beyond what I thought the body was capable of doing. BUT, it IS inspirational and motivating. I'm 78 and it's been half a century since I practiced Goju-Ryu. Even then, I was nowhere near that flexible. I'm going through a second childhood and revisiting some of those stretching activities to minimize body pains that come from the muscles, tendons and ligaments tightening up with age and disuse.

There is no easy way. You put in work and stretch daily. Pushing yourself a bit further each day or every few days. Persistence is the key. Some are naturally less flexible. Some are naturally more and so it varies from person to person. Just work at it steady and soon enough you will be able to do it.

Thanks for the video. After 35 years in the martial arts [TKD, Shotokan karate and Aikido], I was NEVER able to achieve a full side split or even come close to doing so. My problem was that I would herniate! I have sustained numerous hernias in my time all as a result of trying to improve my stretch. I got to a point where I could to a side kick to my own head height and that was good enough to get my through my various gradings. It always amazes me when I see guys performing these extreme stretches without tearing holes in their abdominal walls!!

Stephen Wonderboy Thompson have a great advice on stretching: 3xT's which means Temperature, Tension, Time in that particular order. First you have to be warmed up then stretch and remember on holding your stretches for some time. Other than that thank you for the video Simon, it's really helpful.
@afflulifestyle1784
@afflulifestyle1784 4 жыл бұрын
This is not to discredit Stephen Thompson but I can tell you this, the order is not actually correct & is not his advice, that advice is over 50 years old. Who am I, just a gymnast who did it for 15 plus years. We used Time, Temperature, Tension. This is where people get everything wrong, It doesn't matter if they are famous athletes because they make mistakes also. 1) People seem to think "Time" just encapsulates the time you spend stretching, yes, part of it does, however, it also refers to the time of day you stretch which is just as important. The body creates internal markers & these markers are picked up by the subconscious mind & programmed deeply in repetition "You can't outdo the subconscious mind". So for example, if you achieve the splits at night time & then you try that in the day, you will probably find that really challenging. It's not that you wouldn't be able to do it, it's just that you have created an internal subconscious marker associated with the splits for that night time progression. 2) This is the other mistake people make. Temperature doesn't just mean your body. Temperature also refers to the environment you are in, ie, the room indoors or outdoors. We use to do things like sitting on radiators for extra warmth before the room warmed up properly. The room temperature is also a subconscious marker that your body will remember. You can spend ample time warming up & do the splits in a cold room but, I assure you, any slight nip in the air will make you tense up real quickly & lead to spasms, you can't fight against a natural element that is greater than you. If the subconscious is programmed for a warm environment for your splits it will act upon that only & resist when it's not. 3) Tension can mean various things. It can mean the amount of time you hold the stretch as suggested. It can also mean when you add say weighted assistance. On the other hand, it can mean are you tense before you even stretch, some people just cannot relax at all the whole body is tense, this is even without stretching. So, tension as a whole has a few meanings. Great people to check out are Pavel Tsatsouline who has deep knowledge of stretching & training spanning over 30 years & also Thomas Kurz. They both pioneered stretching throughout the 80's & 90's. Simon has an excellent degree of flexibility & not just that, his hips & hip flexors are very well developed. When you can hold your knee up real high like Simon does & lockout, then bring it back in slowly you have reached that power level. Kicking fast & high can create an illusion of flexibility, but, you do that slowly with control, now that's a whole different level.

You my friend, just got yourself a new subscriber in yours truly. I am a former practitioner in the same martial arts as you, and what I have seen so far is the most comprehensive, yet easiest explanation to these stretches. Also, shoutout to kwonkicker, I heard about you on his channel today about Si-Stretcher, I am looking into ordering one today. Merry Christmas from Norway :-)
