“I'm a student of physiotherapy at Helsinki Polytechnic in Finland, Europe, and I'm a practicing martial artist since 1990. I must say that I've found invaluable help from the Secrets of Stretching video both in my own training and in instructing others how to stretch safely and efficiently when I do workout plans for customers at the gym/fitness center at which I work. Also, and I say this in all sincerity; I've never seen a site that compares to yours in value from a fitness/rehab/martial arts point of view! So I thought it appropriate to tell you what a great job you're doing. Thank you!”
—Sebastian Rinne, student of physiotherapy, Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu 1st Dan, Helsinki, Finland

“I've been trying for 18 years to do the box splits, with not much success and many people (black and white) constantly telling me, that "most black people have too much density in their muscles to do the splits, you'll never succeed". This is me 4 months after buying your DVD Secrets of Stretching.

“My Highest Regards”
—Kevin Ault, London, England

“I started using your method a couple of months ago. Believe me, I never did a full side split [Chinese split] on the floor or chairs. Look at me today at age 47!”

“I have fought in four Ultimate Fighting Championships and have been invited back to the Ultimate Ultimate in December '96. I will fight in Vale Tudo Tournament in Brazil in October and in Japan in November. I attribute some of my success to your tape [Secrets of Stretching]. Not only have they guided me in achieving the splits on chairs, but [also] have conditioned and strengthened my hip flexors and adductors so much that I have a very strong `guard' position, which helps me in my ground fighting. Thank you so much for sharing your secrets with me.”
—Mark K. Hall, Murieta, California (click here to see Mark Hall's fighting record)

“After having the tape [Secrets of Stretching] for two weeks I made excellent progress and told my friends about it. Next thing, they asked if I would lend them the tape, and so the tape wandered from one guy to another and that's the last time I ever saw it. Later my job schedule was so bad that I had to stop my training and with it went my stretching. Now, after a few years, I am able to return to my training and so this time I ordered your book [Stretching Scientifically].

“In mid-October, 1997, I decided to follow every step outlined in this book and I write to you with pleasure to inform you I have accomplished my goal: a split between chairs, by mid-November, 1997. At any given time or place, if anybody asks me to do the split (it happens often), I do it in a split second with no warm-up whatsoever.

“I just want to thank you for the valuable info in your book as well as on the video. The main thing behind it is to follow the outlined steps and stick to it. That way anybody can accomplish maximum flexibility. I know I did.”
—Adam Bobak, Kitchener, Ontario

“I have never been able to do either of the splits as I hadn't trained adequately or correctly enough to strengthen my
legs adequately. But, after reading your book and watching the video I completely and permanently changed my stretching format. Just doing the stretches in the right way, at the right time, in the right sequence made huge difference in my dynamic range of motion. [...] I was able to do head-high or higher kicks easily and without a warm-up.”
—Greg Premo, Tae Kwon-do 5th Dan, Judo 1st Dan, Russian Kettlebell Certified/Challenge (RKC), Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC)—1995 to 2002, Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS)—1998 to 2002, trained/practiced traditional swedish, deep tissue, and myofascial release massage 12+ years, Underhill, Vermont

“I already had good flexibility ... but I was very far from obtaining a full split in suspension. After I started working with your techniques [learned from video Secrets of Stretching and book Stretching Scientifically], it took me 2 months tops to accomplish what you see in my picture.”
—Hiram Carriles, Nuevo Laredo, Mexico

We thank Mr. Jeff Joslin, from Johnson City, Tennessee, for sending his photo of the suspended side split—result of following Tom Kurz's method of stretching. Here is what Mr. Joslin wrote about using the stretching method described in book Stretching Scientifically and shown on video Secrets of Stretching:

“Thanks for your stretching books and video's. They really work! My son [Javan] can do it naturally, I had to work at it. Thanks to your methods, I am the only one so far in my studio that can do this. Everyone ask how I can kick so high and be so flexible. I tell them consistency and the right method, Stretching Scientifically! It took me 8 months to get to this point because I lapsed on my training. But after 4 months I was within 6 inches of a split. I am more flexible now than I ever was in college and professional football. Thanks for the best stretching method I have ever seen. Keep the info coming!

“God Bless!

“Another satisfied customer!”
—Jeff Joslin, 1st Degree Black Belt, 36 years old, Johnson City, Tennessee

“Enclosed is a picture of me in a chair split without a warm-up. Before using the Secrets of Stretching video, I stagnated for over a year about 8-10 inches from splits. After using the methods in the tape only a few times, I achieved my first hanging side split.”
—Matt Poland, Reading, Pennsylvania

“I am very thankful for the effectiveness of the programs you have included in your book and video.

“Thanks again, best regards and more power to you.”
