TheDevilAside Posted April 5, 2004 Posted April 5, 2004 ..I can't even touch my toes. For some reason, though, I can almost do the splits, there's maybe a half-foot gap. "If you're going through hell, keep going." - Sir Winston Churchill
WhiteBelt Posted April 6, 2004 Posted April 6, 2004 The poll is all over place. And it depends on which 'splits' you're talking about. ie. Front - leg in front of you and leg behind you. Side - legs to the side of you. I know some people have those switched though. Assuming you mean side splits I get about a foot - foot and a half (haven't been stretching much lately). ... but I CAN touch my toes.
ramymensa Posted April 6, 2004 Posted April 6, 2004 I was assuming we're talking about the splits with one leg in front of the other (that I can do). The Van Damme splits are still to work for me. I have 2-3 inches to go to full extension. And now I can touch my toes, though I couldn't at first. World Shotokan Karate
Martial Boy Posted April 6, 2004 Author Posted April 6, 2004 Hi, I can do the split where one foot poit towards the sky and the oyher point on the ground so that's half splits, I can easily touch my toe, but still I need more work on my kata.

Looneyas Posted April 7, 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 Same I can do splits in all 3 ways, But this comes from Hard work as keeping the ability is as hard as achiving it... Learn and u shall TeachTeach and you shall learn,https://www.southpacifictkd.com.au
granmasterchen Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 i can do complete splits and straddles all the way to the floor, when seated with legs out wide i can lean forward and touch my forehead and when standing straight legged i can bend down and touch my palms and still bend my elbows....i am pretty flexible for a guy that was told 4 yrs ago that i would be paralysed and bed ridden for the rest of my life.... That which does not destroy me will only make me stronger
aefibird Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Wow, Chen, thats incredible! Glad to hear you're NOT paralysed and bed-ridden... I can almost do full side splits - I'm about an inch away now! I have more problems with front splits, I don't seem to be very 'bendy' doing those. "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."
