Awesome to hear you're getting more flexible PJ!
I couldn't do a lotus for the longest time and then I came across this and everything changed.

1) Stretch hot
2) Stretch often
3) Try to use rubber guard in sparring
I will also give ballistic stretching a try now, seeing as how it doesn't sound dangerous the way you describe it.
The big problem I have is stretching every day. Whenever I go to class, I have no problem taking 15 minutes afterwards to stretch, but it's hard to motivate myself when I haven't worked out.
careful with the knees
Me too. I read "Relax into stretch" and found contrast breathing definitely works!Quote:

I learned it from a guy I worked with at Wilford Hall at Lackland AFB years ago; I've never seen a video of someone doing it right. I suppose I've never really LOOKED for one either, but...Quote:

Thanks for all the tips PJ and congrats on the great flexibility.
I am much smaller than you and i am nowhere near your level of flexibility. I will try your tips for the next months.
Thanks again for sharing your personal experience!
