Secrets of Stretching – Thomas Kurz

Secrets of Stretching

by Thomas Kurz, the world’s foremost expert on flexibility and stretching.

Have Great Flexibility and Great Strength at the Same Time!

With this DVD high kicks and splits with NO WARM-UP will be yours!

Just spend 4-15 minutes a day on easy dynamic (not ballistic!) stretches for high kicks, and only twice a week 11-23 minutes on our special strength exercises and isometric stretches that will give you your splits. Thomas Kurz improved stretches which scientific studies by Holt, Travis and Okita, and later by Tanigawa, have been shown to cause 267% greater increase in flexibility than any other kind of stretches. This is a do along video. Every exercise is shown and clearly described.

Secrets of Stretching DVD will make you an expert on stretching and flexibility and on combining strength and flexibility training of lower body (hips and legs).

Information on this DVD is vital for fighters and martial artists who want powerful kicks.

You will learn…

• what determines how flexible you are
• how to test your flexibility potential to see if you can achieve front splits, side splits or Chinese splits
• how to choose your stretching method for any sport or martial art
• how to arrange your strength exercises and stretches
• (Video shows four ready-made exercise routines, from beginner to advanced.)
• how to have your full flexibility–your high kicks and splits, normally available only after a warm-up–without any warm-up
• how to safely prepare yourself for strength and flexibility training routines shown on this video — leading eventually to Tom Kurz’s results

Attention: No stretching equipment or stretching machines are needed, but many strength exercises require weights (dumbbells, barbells, pulleys, ankle weights or iron boots).
