• Increasing My Flexibility

    I have been trying very hard to increase my flexibility just for my own benefit and also to increase the effectiveness and correct execution of techniques in tae kwon do and jujutsu.  When I was in middle school I had taken tae kwon do lessons and reached the point of being able to do both side and front splits and having wonderful form on my kicking techniques.  One way I aided myself in reaching that elusive “Split” was through a split machine called the “versa flex” so I purchased one awhile back and just recently brought from Staten Island to my apartment to begin using it.  Right now I am at 130 Degrees and Jessica is up to 160 Degrees.  The goal of course is 180.

  Here is a picture of the Versa Flex below:
