I’ve been going to …
I’ve been going to Kenpo Karate classes 4 hours weekly, and spending 30-45 minutes a day stretching, and I still cannot perfrom a split after about 2 months of this program. Is this normal? How long will it take me to be able to reach that amount of flexibility? I’m 19/male/healthy & athletic.

lifeisworth,
if you really have those problems with your leg, then go to your doctor.
Don’t try to solve the problem on your own hands, and certainly don’t use any of these exercises where you push your body while stretching. It’s a dangerous way of doing it.

I think it’s better to get the heart pumping more and increase blood circulation before doing this stretch for the blood to flow in the expanded muscles

if you overstretch …
if you overstretch and bounce you will injure yourself, you stretch to where it is comfortable then you bounce and it greatly increases flexibility. all im going to say is they have been doing it for over 3000 years and they are (and were) much healthier than most people alive today. i think ill take my chances and bounce

I joined a Wu-Tang Martial Arts class now, I’ve been stretching the proper way now. Not to say the other way doesn’t make you more flexible it’s just like you said I get more control doing it the right way.

I think how you …
I think how you practice is wrong. You should open your leg and sit on the floor firmly and try to get your face/body reach down to the floor so you can 100% control the movement so you don’t get hurt. I Most of the videos on yourtube are wrong. It could be better to just ask someone who practice martial art to show you.

Light bouncing is …
Light bouncing is not incredibly ballistic, these guys obviously survive it, as do chinese acrobats. Microtears happen in strength training too, it is just to keep them gentle and managable.

“If some one is an …
“If some one is an idiot, that will last for a long time……” (C)
if you are idiot enough to overstrech and injure your muscules than
or you ignorent enought that when you strech for a first time it is painfull with out injuries…..
you will not injure your self since you should take a painkiller to bypass the pain and to overstrech your muscle…..

You make a lot of …
You make a lot of very good points, stephen, but bear in mind that modern exercise guidelines are also engineered for mainstream consumption, not for the select few who are training for a traditional martial art. These types of bouncing motions can certainly be dangerous for the uninitiated, but for someone who has trained their structure and awareness to a certain degree it can help to break through plateaus. Modern guidelines are meant for average person and also have litigation worries.
