tufrthanu Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Does anyone know of a website that might have a video demonstrating dynamic stretching? I am trying to see exactly what the difference is between dynamic and ballistic. Thanks. Long Live the Fighters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymac Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I do know (and many may disagree) that ballistic stretching is not good for your muscles. If you try ballistic stretching and are really not adequately warmed up prior to, you can pull and/ or even tear muscles. A great martial artist is one who is humble and respectful of others.

TigerDude Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Try this guy - often discussed in stretching circles.http://www.stadion.com/column.html If you think only of hitting, springing, striking or touching the enemy, you will not be able actually to cut him. You must thoroughly research this. - Musashi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Fisher Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Get videos that Bill "Superfoot" Wallace has done on the subject. I think you will learn alot from them. Still not as good as going to one of his seminars. Brandon FisherSeijitsu Shin Do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbows_and_knees Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Ballistic is bouncing, and rebounding types of stretching. Dynamic stretching is controlled movement stretching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like anything else, it has to be done right. Stretch kicks are a good example of ballistic stretching. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiffy Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Ballistic stretching has been ruled out in many sports because of it's high injury rate. The sudden stretching of a muscle causes an automatic retraction responce which in extreme cases can snap a tendon or ligament. For this reason, all ballistic stretching should be replaced with a static stretch where possible. However, there are times when sport-specific ballistic stretching is required. Provided these are done only when the muslces are warm and with caution, the injury rate can be reduced considerably. They will never be as safe as static, but if they're required, they're required. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very important to be warmed-up, but this is also the case with any kind of stretching, if you want to see gains. Ballistic stretching can offer many benefits, if they are done correctly.During competitions and/or fighting, you may end up in situations that cause you to do a very ballistic type of movement, and if your muscles have not trained to be adapted to this, injury could occur. If you use ballistics properly, then the muscles will be at least familiar with the action of over strectching slightly, and it may save an injury. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
