Developing a Stretching Routine

Happy New Year!

As we approach the new year, we should begin to focus on getting into a good workout routine to make further developments in our martial arts skill.

As part of the workout, we should develop a consistent warm-up and stretching routine that works for you. I have put together a collection of stretching and warm-up videos from various styles. Take the warm-ups and stretches that you wish from each video, and put together a routine that you can follow daily or at least every other day.

Here is the link to the videos:

Be careful to use caution and realize that not all of the stretches and warm-ups shown are healthy for knees and shoulders, etc. Use discernment!
