Flexability? how do you improve it?

[monkeygirl]

Once I've stretched out for a bit, I can do splits. It depends on how tight/sore I am. Three years ago, I used to be able to do a split, cold (no stretching beforehand). Since then, I started MA and built some muscle. My joints aren't so loosey-goosey anymore

I can do splits, but only becouse when I was a little girl(5-15 years) I was dancing in a group. So now it isn't any problem

 

A little bit of warming up and I can do what I wont

i can only do splits after i warmed up and stretched a little bit. i never could before i started martial arts. i never even thought i could do splits until i started. but since then i can do it lots.

I try and stay very flexible since my sparring style revolves around kicks, kicks and more kicks. (Not a good thing, gotta work on that..) I strech 20 minutes every day, and yes, I can do the splits

I can't do side splits yet (for side kick flexibility)..... gggrrrrrr. I'm still working on those. I have six inches to go. That's when it gets tough, I heard ( the last few inches).
