Dear karateka's, I've recently started with Shotokan Karate lessons together with a friend, and have had about 10 lessons by now. As I'm 16 years old, I'm not very flexible and have problems with kicks higher than Chudan. Is there a way to practice getting more flexible (I can't do a split, which is normal I reckon because of my lack of training etc), are there any things to train that? Stretching maybe, what kind of exercises? Kind regards, Koen S PS, Sorry for my bad english - I'm from Holland, and English is of course not my native language
