Yeah, just a little amazed. I've heard stories of instructors coming from behind you and pushing you down but I've never personally seen it. My instructor walks around and helps the ones that clearly aren't putting any effort into the stretch but never puts their health in jeopardy.

Uh, no. I'm pretty flexible, but not that flexible.

With respect,

I have heard that sometimes whether or not you can do the splits has to do with genetics. Not for sure, though. I heard that Van Damme had some part of his leg muscles or tendons removed so that he could do his splits.

I have not been able to do it in 13 years. Been close, but usually when the adrenaline is running at tourneys.
