GojuGal Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I've been working on it, but I'm not doing very well. I had taken some time off, when I got sick so I really have to get back at it. I'm pretty flexible when it comes to touching my toes, I can bend so that my face is on my legs, but I can't seem to get the splits. That is my goal though, to be able to do the splits by the end of this years training. I'd better get a move on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I used to be able to do the splits when I was younger and doing TKD, but now, I have stretching issues with my outer thighs just below the hips (the illiotibial bands I've been told). It sucks cause it's a pain when trying to roundhouse kick high, which I would like to do. Anyone have any good stretches or work-arounds? In the meantime, it's off to the stretching section for me!

parkerlineage Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Going front to back, I'm down all the way without stretching. Side to side, I've still got maybe four to six inches to go, and I can't seem to gain that last bit (I've been trying for years).

NeoDanteX Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Im about 2 1/2 inchs from the floor, but thats with my legs going side ways. But from one leg in front in a one the back and cant do it for nothing. Me being a big guy I surprise myself of how low I can get. This just so happens to be something I work on every other day. Stretching really is relaxing and painful-lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
