Stadion's Sports and Martial Arts Training Discussion

Mmm, I've not seen that much of Furey's stretching videos but I do like his strengthening videos. As far as I've seen they don't contain any suprising new excersices but they are few (maybe too few), easy to follow and easy to remember. In what I've seen he's mostly doing hindu squats and push-ups a...

Hi dragon, I was watching Matt Furey the other day and he did an excercise that I find quite good. It doesn't pinpoint the muscles you and I have problems with but it does help, for me anyway. It goes something like this: * Feet shoulder width apart and toes pointing sideways, like Charlie Chaplin. ...

I've never tried to do the front splits with my foot and knee straight so I don't really know if it feels different, gonna try it next time I work out. I do know of th...

Hi, I've just read "Streching scientifically" and I wonder if someone has any thoughts around this: When I try to do a side split with my feet parallell to the floor and lean forward with my elbows on the floor I get to about 15-20 cm from the floor with my pelvis. If I then sit down with my legs ap...

Thanks for the reply,

Hi, I wonder if someone can help me with a problem I have. When I perform a side kick stretch or back kick with my right leg I get a gradual pain in the hip in the leg I'm standing on (the left side of the hip). The pain increases the more times I do the move. It doesn't hurt much when I am at the t...
