DWx Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Depends on what MA you want to be Being a MA is not being able to do everything in the landIf you do Karate or Tae-Kwondo Flexibility is idealAikido or wing chun kung fu you don't need itI disagree. A level of flexibility is important to prevent injuries, no matter what MA one is doing. I do agree that doing the splits isn't likely as beneficial for an Aikidoka as it is for a high kicker in TKD, but it is still important, and won't hurt an Aikidoka at all.Agreed. Flexibility isn't just about kicking high. Its range of movement available to you. The greater that is, the less likely you're going to pull something.
