Hey, I do short stretching routines lasting around 15-25 mins consisting of about 4 or 5 excercises and doing 5 sets of a 30-60 sec stretch on each, with the last set really stretching hard. How often should stretching routines be done to improve flexibility? Is it like weight training where you need to give your muscles time to heal and rebuild or can you do it everyday? To improve flexibility quicker is it better to stop stretching down further when you feel a gentle stretch or should you push yourself a bit further before holding the stretch?

any more info on this anyone?

I am intending on taking this seriously and spending a year in acting school to learn more of the acting and filming techniques needed. However on the martial arts side of things, if I want to use it mainly for choreographed fighting, is it better to take one martial art really seriously for years and get a black belt or have a bit of a try of lots of different styles even though I wont be that experienced at any of them? What do casting directors and agents look for in this sort of thing?

Hey guys, I am interested about learning a martial art that could be applied to both self-defence and inparticular, to produce entertaining choreographed fight sequences. I am interested in learning to start acting lessons aswell and gain some experience whilst trying to get an agent someday. Even for just a small 5 second part on a film to get my * kicked by the hero! Im sure knowledge and skill in martial arts would look really good on an acting resume when looking for agents, aswell as just a good skill to have in life in general. Do you guys recommend any martial art that would be most helpful in choreographed fighting or are there specific classes for this purpose? Thanks alot for any advice.
