HI EVERYONE! I Just launched my FUNCTIONAL FLEXIBILITY E Course. The course goes in depth on my flexibility techniques, provides three workouts ranging from beginner, intermediate, and advanced, answers my most commonly asked flexibility questions, teaches you to create your own flexibility routine that works specifically for you, and gives advice on pushing past plateaus. It is a program designed SPECIFICALLY for MARTIAL ARTISTS...so you won't have to sacrifice strength, power, and speed in order to take your flexibility to the next level.

Donavan Barrett hard working
Donavan Barrett yes I am doing the splits
I can do the splits to
How can i do in last stage
Donavan Barrett Yes that is really good flexible I could do that too
I’m 52 yo TKD red belt . I can do the side splits to almost 80% and find your video very helpful in getting the full split , many thanks Donovan!
Didnt know that RUclipsrs notice when we skip the warmups 😂You have seen through us😅
OH WE ALL KNOW! lol
@@donavantkd Uh Shit😂
What's weird is that my triceps are hurting much more than my legs LOL
full body workout :D
Same dude. Same.
Ikr imao
It wasn't that hurt
If you are naturally flexible you can get splits in about 5-6 months but if you are INFLEXIBLE it can take more than 1.5 year and you gotta accept that. I was STONE ROCK 6 months ago and now my PIKE POSITION IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE but BOX SPLIT IS STILL RUBBISH but Im not discouraged. Eventually I will achive split. Stay strong!
I know you'll achieve it!
@@donavantkd Thanks ;)
I learned my split in 1 year
Stop telling other people how they are. You need to accept that you are how you are and only you are that way. Let other people figure themselves out. You don't need to tell anyone who they are. Some people will push themselves harder and endure more pain than others. Some people will do splits in 30 days. Some people will never get splits. Don't force your perception of yourself onto other people.
I was horrible at left splits and I got it in three weeks. It’s take determination and commitment. Now I’m working of my leg hold and my right split
I'm stuck in the splits can someone phone a doctor for me
😁😁😁
LOL
How can you comment?
When I do not know how to split I just try to force myself to but me in my brain I say * try to not feel pain* and I did it
Hahaha I remember being there stuck I cried but had to get my legs back😃😃😃
Hands down the best energy I’ve seen on a RUclipsr who talks martial arts
I started following your videos not too much time ago and I love your tips! They're really amazing and effective! I practice Taekwondo too and my splits are just millimeters above the floor and I just couldn't get them to the floor, and now with your videos I feel like I'm getting closer and closer to my goal! Thank you so much! You're a God!
This means so much! So glad my videos are helping you :)
I’m super close like a few inches off the ground! After doing everything in this video I already saw improvements after. I’ll be watching this video everyday until I get my splits down. You’re so inspiring and I love the vibe you give off. Thank you so much :) ❤️
Did you get it?
This the best video I’ve seen for split. Omg the last drill is so good. Thankyou.
That means so much thank you!
Stretch day in taekwondo is like judgement day you feel scared😂
Hey Donovan! Ouch, I made it through the routine with one break. It’s really nice for someone to really explain the stretches and talk about the different types. So often when I watch stretching routines it is almost all if not all static stretches. The dynamic stretches, the front splits in particular, was really helpful. For one of the pulses I think I may have been my lowest yet. So thank you for explaining dynamic stretches. This is probably one of the longest comments I have ever written, but you make it more than worth it.
Something I've started recently is whilst in front split, i lean my body to the side/forward like a middle split-ish transition to put more stretch on the adductor longus muscle, finding it quite effective for honing in on those specific stretching points.
Getting quite close on my sitting straddle.
I am 44 years old and i can do the full split ! After 8 months .. respect 😎
Awesome man!!
Much respect ^^
Woww!! Great jobbb
Whoa! I'm 35...you gave me hope. THNX!!!
@@jontomabbett
Yes you can 😂
Sick bro.. i'm 32 and because i recently been doing taekwondo, i had to do it. 6month still progressing got much lower
Holy crap. The last stretch transitioning from left-front split to middle split to right-front split. O. M. G. My right leg needs a lot of work. Thank you for this. I’m a 1st degree black belt in TKD and really want those high kicks. I’m sad that my instructors don’t focus on this from the get-go!
you are a totally strong man! this transition from malasana to side splits is my new favorite goal, thank you so much!!
Thanks for telling the truth! I've been working hard at the splits for almost 2 years, I have my side splits but not the middle splits yet. I shed tears and been through lots of discomfort to get to where I am and I'm still not there. Telling people the truth gives them hope that they're okay and not some inadequate person. I'm going to start using your tutorial thank you!
Excellent video. Another home run for Donavan.This is why number four of the ten points of training is "Tensing and Stretching the body." Relaxing alone will not work. And, looseness and flexibility are two different things. The frontal or gymnastic splits is more important as far as kicking goes than Chinese splits.
Wow you definitely put in the work. Time to do that myself.
You got this!
Tomorrow I’m going to do a split I’m nervous 😟 in school
Thankyou for not using "gEt YOuR spLITs iN a DaY!' as clickbait
I'm personally learning contortion and am still trying to get my middle splits but after watching your video I have gone lower in my middle splits
YOU ARE A LEGEND
Hey so glad I can help! 😊
You are such an inspiration and a joy!!! Love you!!
That means so much thank you!
I have been streching for splits 6-7 days a weeks for 6 weeks now. I've made very little improvement in that time. I'm trying not to get frustrated and give up like I always do, but it is hard to endure ao much pain for so little gain. 😭😭 Here's hoping your routine gets me over the hump.
All the splits in 5 months ! wow! that is still very fast!
I really like the approach, treating splits like any other exercise, doing it in reps and sets, that would actually! help and teach the nervous system, and the muscle to get into the split.
the last hip mobility drill is also very good, an advanced version of 90 90.
well done!
Arrived to get more flexible, stuck around because of the twirl at the beginning & then how passionate & knowledgeable he is!!x
So happy to have you here! 💜💜💜
I just turned 49. Been doing Hapkido for over 2 years. I'm red belt, and black belt testing next month.
I've always wanted to get more flexible and work on my kicks (chagi's) better.
Hapkido has the same basic kicks as TKD, but different application (self-defense).
I really need more stretching, and to work on my kicking control, balance & power.
Thanks go out to you and your channel! You will be my new auxiliary instructor and complement to the arts.
Thank you for your awesome & inspiring channel and instruction.
Thanks for telling, that tis vid is no for the beginners IN THE BEGINNING of the video. Saved me some time)
Haha no problem! Not trying to waste anyone's time :)
God Bless you!
haha thank you!
Hi this video is awesome I almost got to the ground on the side split but the middle split is tough I saw improvement and am gonna keep doing it, am like 38 years of age started teakwondo like last year and work is not letting me to put time into my training but still getting better than the previous. thanks so much
I am getting closer to orange belt in Taekwondo, you inspire me to keep going.
Great routine.... Sound advice.... real smart! Thank you... keep up your good work!!
5 -6 months is great to me!
I don't know if it's just me but anytime I switch from right front splits to center is way much easier than me doing the left... -_- It's always 2 inches above the ground... :(
Awesome! I'll be trying this Friday night so I have Saturday and Sunday to recover. Thanks for the inspiring videos!
It works... Thanks so much!
I came here for the twirl, one word. GRACE
lol
TY for the wisdom, I lost my split during my knee surgeries and your vids are helping get them back!!
Haha thank you so much! It means so much knowing I'm helping people. Thanks for supporting
I love this guy! So positive and helpful. Thanks Don! ❤️
Thank you so much for your kindness! That just made my morning :)
I always warm up! Thanks for the vid!
great ! Nice advice!
Thank you so much! :)
I just learn middle split because I learned to do a front split and I turn my side split to middle split
Those kicks will be deadly . Any videos of you sparing WTF in a Hugo?
I'm gonna sub OMG it worked but I'm still working on my side splits
That’s very inspirational dude, THANKYOU so much! I appreciate your effort
So glad I could help! :) Thanks for watching the video :)
Your welcome mate
Thank you so much!! It works! I can do side split before watching your video but I was a few inches away from middle split and it didn't seem to come down - so I gave up for a while. I got my middle split down after 2nd day with your routine. :)
Bro, that shit got me. Thanks
Thnx you're a legend 👌👏👏❤❤❤❤
Haha you're too kind thank you!
I feel the burn!
Anime Seijin 😂😂🙏
Thank you so much Master Donavan your videos are very motivated. I watched at all your videos since I'm doing the same art and trying to impressed my flexibility
Glad my vids can help you! Thanks so much for watching 😊
Thank you so much for this video! Have seen a lot of 'get your splits quick' videos but this had some really excellent stretches - and you can follow along, a big bonus. Re what would make a stretching/kicking program worth it for me: follow along sessions, definitely, but for every aspect of flexibility that you need for your kicks. So stretching / strengthening sessions for leg holds, but also for psoas/hip flexor flexibility, for toe/foot flexibility and control, for ankle control / strengthening etc - for areas which are absolutely crucial for healthy technique but are often left out in a lot of videos. I also think that if it's a program that people will be repeating videos in, having some options of commentary on or off would be useful - so some videos with detailed explanations for first time viewers, and then some with no sound or music for repeat viewers, just noises to prompt you to move to the next exercise, so that people can put their own music over the top and just go go go. A few different daily follow along options under a weekly plan or such would be great too - as in alternating videos to shake things up a bit.
If you do decide to make this program that would be absolutely amazing!! You'd have a lot of very keen beans I'm sure :)
Thanks so much for the love and also the feedback on the course. I will definitely take it into consideration!
That is an awesome feedback there you know your stuff 😊
i only have 3 weeks left until the deadline of my splits.. hehe high key gonna die in pain when that comes
Fabulous tutorial tysm
You're amazing & thank you for sharing not only your knowledge but energy & personality to the world ☺️
It is a privilege for me to be able to! I'm so glad I get to wake up and do this :)
Wow the method of tensing your muscles and then letting it go really helped me get me center plit evwn further down
YAAASS PNF stretching is what a lot of people need to get that extra few inches. Glad I could help! :)
i started taekwondo a couple of months ago and im seriously stiff!! but your videos give me so much motivation and make me strive harder, i hope this technique works for me! i will be sure to update this comment when i see results!! :)
So? Hw is it going
UPDATE
you are a good teacher.
That honestly means so much! I feel in my element when I'm teaching.
You are such a breath of fresh air!
Omg that's so sweet thank you! You are starting my morning off right!
hey! I knew the splits so well until I went on a 3 month summer vacation trip in 2017. I forgot how to do them because I didn't practice. its 2020 and now that we're all bored its a good time to learn them again. im editing this comment to tell you that Im done!
day 1:
I'm excited to hear about your progress and am wishing you the best on your journey! :)
Thank you so much Dovavan's Dojang! I'm really close for both type of slits , and that last little cm are the hardest!!!! I will try this exercises !
That's so awesome! Yes that extra little bit is difficult but you'll definitely get there! Keep going :)
Great flexibility lessons Brother.

Hi Donavan, the part where you retreat from the split partially, flex and go back down...could that be applicable when using a 3 bar stretcher? I got one recently and trying determine the best applications. Thanks!

The secret for me is atfer Doing ur stretches do ur split close to the ground as far as u can and hold it for the most recommend time u can
Great tips! I appreciate you giving realistic expectations...those videos that tell you you'll do the splits in one day or one week. 😆
Those videos always bothered me. Thanks so much for watching :)
Tq dear 👍👍👍👍👍
Go Donavan!
Why do we need to tighten the muscle and relax? What for?
Simply amazing! Thank you sooo much!
Of course! Thanks so much for watching :)
I'm loose my confidence, when I see someone doing split, because I'm still not progressing 😢
Thank you, after a morning run this feelt really good to practice. I cant do all the way jet but this was very helpful and less painful.👍
thanks. I will develope aWESOME flexibility with this routine.
Help meee I can’t feel my legsss
You are best
Great video.. Good information..
Glad you enjoyed!
omg thank you so much for this video
Happy to do it! I hope it helps. Actually, I know it will! :)
What’s are the painful stretch of teakwondo for?
Exelent
Somehow, i wouldn't have thought that 'One of the questions i get asked the most is how do i get splits' i'm sure that isnt quite true, i can think of at least another, but i digress. Anyway, thanks for a great upload!
Unfortunately too many people do ask that question and ill never understand why because...1...isn't it obvious and 2...who cares?
@@donavantkd You I absolutely agree with you, However when you stated that, it made me smile, that was all, no offence intended!!! You know what the saying is
'It t....'
In middle school, I was advised by a classmate that it's best to stretch before a shower to get splits quicker. Is there any truth to that?
Por favor Donavan queria saber mais sobre alongamento para facilitar abertura obrigado pela atenção fica com Deus AMÉM
This is great thank you. Could you do a video on advanced stretching (oversplits etc)?
Absolutely! Thanks so much for the suggestions :)
Great videos. Do you have 10min taekwondo punching drills video(s)?
I don’t! I typically specialize in kicking but want to do more upper body stuff in the upcoming year!
You are adorable!! Thanks for sharing!
Is it possible to get splits at the age of 40yrs old ?? Pls reply and make a tutorial pls
How many minutes or seconds should hold split position?
I recommend you from 30 seconds to 2 minutes
Utility, I'd say. : )
