Bretty101 Posted April 5, 2002 Posted April 5, 2002 This is me http://homepage.ntlworld.com/benonline/articl4.jpg can hold that there for just over a minute, balance is the hardest thing. I achieved this using Ankles weights and stretching. Flexibility gives you the potential and range of motion to get the height and strength allows you to hold it there. Every other day Stick your ankle weights on, hold back of a chair (till you get the balance) and slowly raise and lower a straight leg first to the side (foot parrallel to floor!) 20 times. Then to the front (foot upright) 20 times. 3 sets and well the skys the limit. and try and keep your body upright. Oh and my other legs not to bad either http://homepage.ntlworld.com/benonline/articl3.jpg Odd sox Bretty [ This Message was edited by: Bretty101 on 2002-04-05 05:24 ]
Jack Posted April 5, 2002 Posted April 5, 2002 Very impressive, Bretty! On the first picture, I can hold my leg about 10 degrees less, for about forty seconds. Then again, I havn't worked on much of this muscle control as much as I could. I'm getting inspired to give it a shot, though. JackCurrently 'off' from formal MA trainingKarateForums.com
KickChick Posted April 5, 2002 Posted April 5, 2002 Awesome Bretty ... nice 'blade-ing' on the sidekick ... This might be a nice photo feature to include on the forum for the future ..."Post pic your best technique" (martial arts of course!)

When you put water into a cup,it becomes the cup.When you put water in a T-Pot,it becomes the T-Pot..be water my friend!!
TKD_McGee Posted April 5, 2002 Posted April 5, 2002 Just out of curiosity do any of you take special types of vitamins to help your muscles stretch more? Or do you just stretch daily..? Do unto others, as they done to you.
van_damme Posted April 5, 2002 Author Posted April 5, 2002 I just stretch Daily..i heard its good to stretch in a hot room..so turn up your heating.lolz. Im not sure about the vitamins..but when i work up a sweat when im stretching i just drink some juice. When you put water into a cup,it becomes the cup.When you put water in a T-Pot,it becomes the T-Pot..be water my friend!!
Bon Posted April 5, 2002 Posted April 5, 2002 Is that kind of flexibility helpful for your fighting ability ? I've never thought about that kind of flexibility, only dynamic and the splits for show.. It takes sacrifice to be the best.There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.
