Red Triangle student Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 Hi, I have been wondering how people prefer to do the splitz. Well, my sensei told me that you should do it in a way where your hips are forward, I was doing it in a way were my hips were back and I was sort of leaning backwards and sitting into it. I was wondering if their is a right and wrong way to doing it. Is the way I do it now better than the way I used to, I am not going to disagree with what my sensei said, I am just wondering. "To be elated at success, and dissappointed at defeat, is to be the child of Circumstances." I wish I followed that rule! ^^ I hate Losing!
angelica d Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 There are loads of different ways to do the splitz, maybe your sensei was suggesting a way to stretch/warm up certain muscles? Anyway, its technically a gymnastic move so you're better off asking a gymnast. "Weaseling out of things is what separates us from the animals . . . except the weasel."- Homer J Simpson
Red Triangle student Posted June 25, 2004 Author Posted June 25, 2004 Well that is absolutely Perfect! My Sensei Frank Brennan has lots of experience in Gymbastics so what he told me to do is right after all "To be elated at success, and dissappointed at defeat, is to be the child of Circumstances." I wish I followed that rule! ^^ I hate Losing!
Jiyn Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Frank knows gymnastrics?! Really?! I didnt know that. Karate is like an explosion, not like paint drying!
Red Triangle student Posted June 25, 2004 Author Posted June 25, 2004 Yes Jiyn he does, you know you should call your sensei"Sensei" it is more respectful! Only kidding! "To be elated at success, and dissappointed at defeat, is to be the child of Circumstances." I wish I followed that rule! ^^ I hate Losing!
Jiyn Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Sorry,i meant to say sensei frank brennan.....so anyway thats news to me that he used to be a gymnastics person... Karate is like an explosion, not like paint drying!
Red Triangle student Posted June 25, 2004 Author Posted June 25, 2004 Well, that is probably why he is so flexible and knows a lot about the Human body. "To be elated at success, and dissappointed at defeat, is to be the child of Circumstances." I wish I followed that rule! ^^ I hate Losing!
whitedragond Posted July 21, 2004 Posted July 21, 2004 Try to find ways to relax while stretching. You muscles will try to work against you if you try to over stress them.
Red Triangle student Posted July 21, 2004 Author Posted July 21, 2004 Thanks again for the advice whitedragond! "To be elated at success, and dissappointed at defeat, is to be the child of Circumstances." I wish I followed that rule! ^^ I hate Losing!
