I was wondering if any of you 10th planeteers had any tips on stretching to improve flexibility that maybe isn't as well known and effective.
Thanks Martin (10th Planet Glasgow)

Bro il show you what I do when I'm in next. Trust me, I know what you need haha
Cheers dude. Appreciate it
No bother. I'm always doin wee stretches in the house n I can now get both legs behind my head after a good warm up. N that's after knee surgery.
There's a book called "Relax into Stretching" by Pavel Tsatsouline. It's for people very serious about improving flexibility. Great stuff in there... He has a body weight exercise book also, called "The Naked Warrior". I recommend the stretching book to all grapplers and kickboxers.
David - that's insane I'll see you Friday
Scott - thanks for the info I'll be sure to check it out for definite.
When i asked eddie this question he told me, "If you wanna flexible you have to get serious about it you have to make time for it. You got to be streching at least 2 times a day."
You seeing this Martin? We gotta start stretching more!!Quote:

Also apologies Chauncey only just noticed the reply dude.
Robert yes, YES WE DO.
The stretches at the front of Mastering the Rubber Guard are really good. I must admit I don't do them religiously every day but I have noticed a difference in my flexibility since starting to do them on a regular basis.
Cheers Marty. Appreciate it.
The best stretches I have found for Rubber Guard are all from using the RG. The standard stretches got me pretty far, but setting up the positions on a compliant training partner (especially double bagger) and then holding the clinch while my training partner works to get free for 30 second rounds has really freed up my mobility.
I've been using a book called Stretch Therapy by Emily Francis as well as Yoga for Martial Arts. Guys at the school make fun of yoga, but since I've sstarted using them my flexibility has really improved.
dont force the stretch and warm up your muscles..also fuck with the foam roller.
