How to develop static active flexibility?
How about with dynamic stretches?
Do you also not use a handrail for your early morning and warm up dynamic stretches?
WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND ME
hy guys
this a very interesting topic and i m very happy you are posting
im learning a lot!
Since i ve been reading your posts a doubt emerge : should i do static active methods immediately after or immediately before isometric stretching? or maybe i should do them in separated days?
and what about doing the active stretching methods the day you do weight lifting (squats dead lifts lunges etc) ?
well any feedback will be appreciated
thanx
note: excuse me if my english is not accurate due to fact im not a native speaker

Kit:-I do use a support for the dynamic stretches as i want to get the most benefit from the stretch.Even if a person has good balance,using a handrail will still help to keep you relaxed during the dynamic stretches.
When using training methods(in this case,active stretches) to help with kicking ability,then balance and control are important aspects that should be practiced.
You don't have to do away with the handrail for all the active exercises,but likewise i wouldn't use it for all of them either.
Luis:-If you're going to do the active methods on the same day as isometrics,do them before the isometrics.
You can do them on the same day you do weight training,but i have found(and this is only personal experience) that due to the fatigue of weight training,static active training abilities are reduced.After weight training i only usually do the slow leg raises.
I guess this depends on how fatigued you are after your weight training sessions though.
p.s.-Your English is fine.

Hello again Dragon! I am back again and (I guess) with a new alternative to the handrail which will (once again I guess) your conditions: balance and control. Here's my idea: instead of the handrail to perform slow kicks, I should perform the kicks at a target (for instance a kicking bag or somth). This way I can develop both balance and muscular control. Is my this correct. Please let me know. Osu and God bless you.
Yes,that method will help.
To make it easier to evaluate your progress i would use a small target or mark(the reach the mark method i described) or place a strip of tape on a punch bag as seen in the book Ultimate Flexibility by Sang H. Kim.
If you aim your kicks at a smaller target area(such as a mark or strip of tape) your acuracy will improve,as opposed to just aiming for the entire bag(which would be hard to miss!).

Any method that provides you with a small target to aim for will improve acuracy.Placing it slightly out of reach will develop active flexiblity and balance.
I've heard stories of a Tae Kwon Do instructor that developed his kicks by stripping a tree branch of all it's leaves apart from one.He'd then practice kicking the leaf.
A Kung Fu practitioner used to hang small circles of paper suspended on string at various heights around him.This developed his acuracy and balance,but also his abilities to land in the correct stance ready for the next kick.
