flexibility

Depends on what MA you want to be

Being a MA is not being able to do everything in the land

If you do Karate or Tae-Kwondo Flexibility is ideal

Aikido or wing chun kung fu you don't need it

I 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.

I was very flexible when I was young well now don't ask

I still practice flexibility though
