Stadion's Sports and Martial Arts Training Discussion

yesterday
i almost done a 180 degrees side split , altough , i still can't pass the side split test
i hope u awnser me

Hi all i checked the side split test then i figured out that most people can't keep their pelvis and hips in one line because either of their tight hip flexors or tight hamstrings i asked alot of people to do this test and not any of them can do it have u ever tried to do it Dr Kurz before u become ...

dude , where is the difference !!???

and by the way , when i'm warmed up , i can touch the floor with my knees in the butterfly stretch , does that mean that my muscles are avaible to do a side split ?

In my opinion
not at all , you may feel like it's difficult in the first time , but later when you get used on it , you will enjoy every single hour of training
good luck

Thanks guys , that was really useful

can the doctor tell me if i can do a full split ?

could the doctor know if i have some hips problems or something ?

Can that be solved ?

Guys ???

Well, first of all your age is not the problem, especially at 16! You say you stretch often, but with not much results. My first guess would be in regards to your stretching routine. Have you studied Kurz' method in his book and DVD? It's not so much about what kind of stretches you do, or how much...

Please someone awnser me
