GingerNinjaTrickster hello Sir I started taekwondo when I was 15 with very little
flexibility and I remenber that one day a korean black belt told me to
do the butterfly stance and then he pushed my back down with all his body
weight while holding my feet for about two minits, I was in pain and
almost criying but he laugthed and kept doing it. I have to admit that
it did help me. Is it ok if I ask my brother to do it?
Giancarlo Torres I wouldn't recommend that as forcing too much can cause damage/tears to your muscles.
Ç
i feel like he's talking about me whenever he says "for those of you who struggle a little bit "
That’s cause he is

Ginger, you're awesome.
A.D. Wells I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
I heard people sleeping in a butterfly stretch, will that help? (Yes, I am lazy :P)
Wheather I stretch my hips are normally tight even after I have stretched with this routine for over 9 months now and I can't kick high
***** No problem :)
Stretching is easier when you have no soul to get in the way.
LOL
Ginger Ninja Trickster Hi , I have question ; I practice Karate Shotokan 26 years and 5 years ego I was running and I break ACL in my right knee. Now I'm scare to do Kicks when I'm jomp. Can I do It ??
Nice Video !!!
69 likes... I'm was gonna like but i don't wanna ruin it
Aww *lol* WHY do they say that anyway?!
Aaron is like the main character from the Dark Souls games; he absorbs the souls of his defeated enemies.
This helps a bunch. I'm a yellow belt and I want to become very flexible as possible and make my Master proud by working hard and becoming the best student as I can be.
Lol destiny
Laila Bridges Haha it's true. I've gotten more flexible because of Taekwondo.
Destiny Musgrove Lol i got flexible from kung fu and i thought it was so impossable for me to do what i can do now xD
Destiny Musgrove same
Destiny Musgrove you have a master?
9:45 - Now place your leg like this
Me: Easy af
9:51 - Now place your foot behind you
me: FUUUUUCKKK
i feel your pain xD
Random Things at first its painfull it's normal
Thank you :) Improving flexibility is achievable at an older age but it takes more time and dedication to do so. If people struggle with any of these stretches they can simplify them by closing their legs more, reaching down to the shin/ankle instead, etc. Hope that helps and good luck with your training :)
Started watching this at white belt in 2013, still watching it now that I'm a first degree blackbelt in WTF Taekwondo. You rule Aaron :D
I was never flexible as a tall guy, but after this I can make a half split(still need alot of working). thankyou!
That's great! Congratulations :)
Thank you Aaron for producing this vid. I've been a martial artist all my life and at one time had good kicking ability. However, having cancer four and a half years ago really took it out it out of me. I couldn't do any form of training for over a year, so everything just locked up. However, over the past six months I have been training to get fit and now with the help of your stretching routine I'm starting to get some flexibility back, really hoping to box and side splits in the next 3-4 months. I'm 53, so don't give up it's never too late.
Thank you again Aaron
+Andy Johnson Man, i'm sorry to hear about your struggles but i'm glad you are feeling better and enjoying yourself again. Glad I could help and good luck with your goals :)
+GingerNinjaTrickster Thanks for replying, I'm making progress on a weekly basis, I incorporate your routine into my daily training. thanks again for providing the vid and the others.
Andy Johnson No problem and keep it up :)
Well done mate
Andy Johnson sorry to hear mate. Its great to hear that you have made progress in getting fit and limber again.
This has helped me great tips 10 years ago I could do the splits was in kenpo karate put wait on lost the wait and kept it off for 3 years now weight lifting and changing my lifestyle, but was stiff now getting limber again and I am 51 years old. and now a fan of your videos, Thanks!!!!
John Handbury I'm glad it has helped! Thank you for your support and good luck :)
Knowing that you started when you were 15 and still managed to become THAT flexible somehow gives me hope, since I started last year at the age of 15 too -and I'm struggling to do a decent split-
Anyway thank you so much for all the vids, they're amazing and your way to explain things is too, you're such a great teacher! :D
That's great and I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
GingerNinjaTrickster Question, how long does it take for a person to be able to do a full split. i stretch twice daily and i'm 14
dhgdshfshfhsghghrygihuhrfkhfkuhrfui Everyone is different so there is no set amount of time.
Ah, thanks :D
GingerNinjaTrickster
ok i had a question.
Basically I'm very flexible much much more flexible than a normal person! i can do a side splits but i can't do this splits do u think it's gonna take me alot of time to achieve it? thanks.

I've noticed that my height is increasing 2 cm since I joined taekwondo its awesome! I'm yellow senior belt now btw💞💞
I'm 16 and not really flexible at all. Will I eventually get alot more flexible if I do stretches daily? (My main aim is to easily kick to most peoples head height level), also great work I love your videos gnt :)
we have the same problem
+Jxvr Yes you will eventually get more flexible. Flexibility is one of those things that you can always improve throughout your life no matter how old or young you are. It works like muscles. the more weights you lift the stronger you get. the more you bend your legs the bendier they will get.
+Allen Ayler
Hey Allen, I'm 53 and after coming back from cancer I can do martial arts kicking to a good standard, for me it the small improvement that you don't really notice but after six months you realise that you are kicking higher and with greater skill. Wish I was 35 again..
Jxvr yes you will become more flexible, do it while your still 16 though,
@@slabooboo521 im 17, is it too late?😂
No but fr its really hard, i stretch occasionally and i do notice differences but nowhere near what i want.
I recently managed to throw good midkicks with my right leg, just my left leg now.
Lol I'm an instructor at my Taekwondo school and i'm always looking for new ways to warm up the students lol. Some of these warm ups I had never thought of before.
***** Cool and have fun :)
What is meaning of lol?

I envy all you guys starting young. I started to train in September after seeing my 7 year old daughter giving her best. I never trained any martial arts but always wanted to. Now I am 32 and it hurts so badly to try all the streches after spending half of my life behind the desk.
True but there is nothing you can do about it. I wish I started younger but I didn't. The key is to challenge yourself and keep improving no matter what age or level. Good luck :)
2:00 My roommate saw me watching this and was very confused
lol
What? Why? I didn’t get you?
Ginger still looks like hes 16 but kicks ass like he 30 way to go bro
+Paul Smith Haha Thanks man :)
+GingerNinjaTrickster Do you have any tips on spiritual refinement and mental strength and meditation if you do any sir ?
+GingerNinjaTrickster That should be a 5 minute video for the future maybe
Paul Smith I will add it to the list :)
It’s been 4 years more. Still, he looks just the same.
Thank you so much, even i take taekwondo and our teacher said if you want to be able to do high kick you have to be flexible.
I'm 24 years old, and I'm just started to practice WTF. My body is not in the worst condition ever, I'm not starting from scratch. Still, long way to go. My master thinks, I'm doing it for fun... But I have an intention to surprise him. It's my dream, to take a picture of me, doing this high side kick. Well, if you're doing TKD, you know, what I'm talking about ;) Well, I have a long way to go, not even sure, if it's possible at all. But I'm going to try. Thanks a lot for your help on these. I love TKD, no matter, is it ITF or WTF. Both is cool
+Demka03 No problem and good luck with your goal :)
I wish that I could be your student, you are great! :D
These are pretty painful for my first time! haha! I don't do flexibility much but hopefully I'll get more flexible with this! Any routines i should be aware of for stretching?
+RandomMugen Work to your level and you will progress to a higher level. Don't push too far, too soon. Good luck :)
i finally kicks high
thanks..
taekwon!!
Perfect!!
Dislikes on this kind if vids show the negativity of minds. Dont mind em.
Thank you for your support :)
Some people just dis-like everything, kinda sad they go through life that way, I ront bad days, they make the good ones even better,
This is hard but I can actually feel it. Thnx for posting stuff like this it really helps.
+benaya katuuk No problem and good luck :)

lol No problem :)
A Hernandez lol
I lose all my energy and time Now i have to start all over again.
been looking for a video like this for a long time as my flexibility needs alot of work so hopefully this will do the trick!
Cool and good luck :)
3 words: God Bless You :) Just keep up with you're videos because its a source of inspiration and hope for me :) thanks
I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
8yrs ago i join tae kwon do for 4months, and i only can do full split for several time coz it's hurt. now, i can do full split but i can't hold it for longer. i do a minimum warming up coz i only have time at night around 8pm. i kicks for several time then i try to do split, but of course at first it won't full. this video remind me to the right stretching. thanks for sharing
That's great and I'm glad you think so. Good luck :)
your one of the best martial artist ive ever seen and i am one!
I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
2:08 twerk twerk hahaha
+JJ Junior Haha
will this tutorial help me to get perfect splits?
Definitely! Just stretch with good form and be consistent. Good luck :)
I weigh 125 kilo (250 pounds) I am 36, nearly 37, and I can do all those strechtes, although you make it look very easy :)
That's great! Well done :)
5:48 ah yes here you will see the wild ginger ninja in his natural habitat the dojo. What a magnificent creature!
hey, this helped me for dance as well as Taekwondo😉😉😉
+Dikrats SmugShark Cool :)
You must be a good teacher! well done
I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
If that's the basic I need to know the pre basic steps
Basic and progression. Simplify each one to your ability ie. If you can't reach your toes, grab your shin, ankle or reach for them. Good luck :)
Thanks here goes day 1
No problem and good luck again :)
Now I'm depressed. I'm so stiff I can't even do beginner exercices.
You can simplify the stretches until you progress to the further stages. ie. reach for shin or ankle instead of holding your foot :)
don't be so depressed. all you need to do is to take some anti depressants like coffee or coke or a cup of tea. then to fully attain your goal as to fully do the split, easy and quick. follow these simple procedures...you will need ten wheeler trucks atleast two, if you wanna stretch that thing hanging in between you will need three. but for now lets concentrate on your feet. first set the two trucks facing their backs, leave some space for you in between them. then tie each leg on each truck. then make a signal to get the trucks going. in just a second you will be able to do the split. but tell the drivers not to go too far coz it might split you into halves. anyway, i can feel that you are half a man, and it's like you're trying to get the attention of our ninja guy here. you know what i mean. ill keep my mouth shut.
Hi Aaron i have a question
Is there any way i can keep my level of flexibility and muscles strength at the same time?
I'm a karate practioner so it's improtant to me pleaze answer this ASAP thanks
ur the best ginger
+Harvey Newman Far from that but thank you for your support :)
It's true and it epic at taekwondo
Your epic at taekwondo*
Harvey Newman Thanks :)
How long would you say it has taken you to get to your black belt
It usually takes 4 years or more.
That's great :)
GingerNinjaTrickster It took you 4 years? Dang. That's really a lot of hard work.
The time helps your technique and mentality mature so you become an all round better student/instructor :)
One thing that would also work, I assume, is relatively not weighing too much.
But hey, I am working on this, and after a month you really do see improvement!
So thank you so much, GNT (GingerNinjaTrickster) for these tutorials!
Nothing to do with it and i'm glad it is helping :)
GingerNinjaTrickster
No worries, mate ;)
sir now i am very flexible so thank u so much..
Awesome and No problem :)
If we follow this video, can we do high kick? In how many months?
2:08 that's my dance
lol
Shadrack Midenyo lol
Hello, first I would like to thank you for your video, I have been looking for a good martial arts routine for flexibility and I think yours is the best I have seen. So very helpful by adding the beginner Technics in. I am 39 years old and have been involved in martial arts for only 2 years now. I find at my age I take 3 steps back and 2 steps forward when it comes to flexibility. Hamstrings are so very tight and have a hard time rolling my hips over. I am going to take your advice and use a wall. Thank you again for your knowledge and time, very much appreciated. Keep up the great work.
I appreciate you saying that and i'm glad that I could help. Good luck :)
I know that this is not my video but i have an important abise when you start an streching exersize don't stop trust me i was doing streching for 2 week then i got tired and i stop doing streching one week
i cant pass 120 degree help
I can barely get to 90 :/
Me and my son really enjoy your videos. they are very helpful. we have are very first tournament on april 2nd. we are white belts still, been going to class for about 3 months. we will be white belts and green stripe by the time of the matches. but yeah thanms for all the great vids
+CycOCHiLL Awesome! I'm glad they are helping and good luck :)
I'm fifteen do you think I can start now
+Gabbie Mateus absolutely no reason why not
so..... did you start
I know it's not the same but I do judo and people come in in their 30s, 40s, once or twice people have come in in their 50s so no, I'd say 15 is quite young.
+Hannah Evans I'm 11 and I'm already senior yellow belt in taekwondo orange in karate do and I do samurai too I defeated blackbelt era in taekwondo I'm just senior yellow belt
U ca do it I'm just 11 if your 15 my classmate in taekwondo is four and he's a senior yellow belter and now his a blue belter I'm just a senior yellow belter I defeated black belters so I know u can do it so keep it up believe in yourself
you are the best in martial arts !!! eres le mejor en artes marciales !!
Far from the best but thank you for your support :)
Hi im a yellow belt i liked 4 of your bideos to save for later because u explain things great so i sead ah hell with it ill subscribe im taking privat classes now to skip orange and go to purple witch is the next belt 4 my school the test is this month on the 24th. I need to break 2 bords spinning back fist and spinning jump hook kick i have a bad knee so i can only do it on one side sronger but needed more training thats when i seen your kicks much appreciated thank you.
GingerNinjaTrickster can you make a short video on the diet or specific meals that you would recommend to stay within to be fit?
thank you!
I have never had a strict diet but I do know what to eat so I guess I could in the future :)
Hello GNT i hope you can read this comment , i have some problem on my flexibilty training within these past few months until now... And sad to say i'm not able to do stretches that you demonstrate here on your tutorial because i feel a lot of pain on my right hamstring . Can you give me some advice that i need to do in order to continue my training . I really want to train martial arts !! And i dont want to quit 😞
This video is so helpful,love these exercises!
This video is very helpful. Thanks 😊
Hey :-) just wondering if u had any tutorials for sparring and combinations with impact and evasion techniques please. Thank you in advance. Ur amazeballs :-p
Tyha Currie There are some sparring videos on my channel so check them out and good luck :)
I am ultimately amazed by this... alright... time to stretch...
J-Chris.Exia I appreciate you saying that and good luck :)
SelfOpenHell There is no set time. Just keep working hard and you will improve :)
I started practicing for two days,but my stomach started hurting whenever I try to bend backwards. Should I continue my practice and what precautions should be taken? Please suggest so that I can learn martial art as soon as possible
Amazing, Ginger if I continue doing this daily just these exercises, not being a flexible guy do you think I can reach the splits in 2 years?
Dear mister G.N. Ninja, i have a question. I cannot bent my left leg much, due to an accident. This will not heal anymore. What kind of exercise can i do, for my right leg to make that one more flexible so i can make a high kick? Thank you
I try your stretch is not easy but thank you very much
Bwah. This makes me miss the days when I was flexible enough to do these things. I really need to start stretching more. :\
You should and good luck with your training :)
How can you do these exercises? So painful
after I do it, my body feels stiff
But, I kick better
thanks for your help
No problem and good luck with your training :)
thank you :)
Thank you, your video is very helpful
No problem and I glad you found it helpful :)
I have a question...
What does the hands on the knees stretch do
I do it at the start of every taekwon-do lesson but feel no stretch
And I doing it wrong or what?
I practised taekwondo for 9 years, quit when I was 17 and now 10 years later picking it up again. But damn have I lost flexibility, condition and balance. Seriously I came back and the people there actually were quite positive about the technique, power and even speed I still had. But I injured myself straight for two months with going to fast, to high and to hard. But its kinda hard going only on half force. I do need to work on stretching, also balance and control, it seems I can only do the techniques fast now. If I do them in slowmotion it seems impossible now. I had great control when I stopped, so its kinda frustrating. Also condition is horrible, lol, but it feels good coming back to my sport.
Thanks for the videos, really helpfull to get back into shape.
Question though. Do you advice doing this only before training or every day? Do muscles need recovery from stretching, so that you need to take rest days or can you do it as often as possible? Like to know what you recommend.
OK, this seems quite more practical than Yoga or Tai-chi, LOL.
I am searching for a way to increase flexibility and range of motion.
I don't practice any MA (classical boxing in the summer, but not serious) but I need to improve this part of my fitness.
I am a road runner who has switched over to trails and while on the road stiffness is a plus (transferring more force to the ground) on the trail it's near suicide. I know by experience that the people who have the sort of flexibility I need are the martial arts practitioners and I also know by experience that Taekwondo is the more no-nonsene MA that exists (plus I love Korea)
I'll definitely include this routine into my training... and maybe swap boxing for Taekwondo?
Anyway: Thanks for posting, great channel!
Hello master Ginger i m red belt wtf taekwond so i don't find club where i am.Since Santo domingo i follow you.Good job
hi i have a question should i work flexibility only before working on jumping and strength, many thanks
Master please I am just one percent away from the full middle split. I have crossed my limits by doing it. Please give me some advice how do I accomplish that also! Please reply!!
Can J just say, your videos are amazing!! I am definatly going to use them. Could they be used for an everyday stretch or is it more of a Martial Art stretch?!
Squidys237 I appreciate you saying that and it's best to stretch every other day or rest on weekends in my opinion. Good luck :)
Thanks so much
Hi Aaron i have a question
Is there any way i can keep my level of flexibility and muscles strength at the same time?
I'm a karate practioner so it's improtant to me pleaze answer this ASAP thanks
Gary gassor used to be my instructor I wonder if you are related in anyway but I’m doubting it cause I’m from Wales uk but he was also ginger like yourself and that just makes me think more that you might be related, would be funny to find out you are now lol.... anyway great vids I’ve just followed along to a couple of the stretching ones and feeling good at the moment so thank you 💪
Hellow....master.your train is perfect.I want to do this stretching.
Hey Mr Gassor, I just wanna ask about the middle splits, i have 19 years old and i stretch evry day but when i try to do the middle splits i feel a very bad pain on my hips bones just like crack without feeling any stretch on my muscles could you explain that for me or give me any tips that may help. Thanks beforehand
I can't even do half of those streches bro
Hi Ginger Ninja! :)
Your videos are really awesome! :D
I'm 16 and I do Shotokan Karate since 8 years ago.
I think, i'm not too flexible. What do you think, how much time I need, to do relatively good splits?
And from curiosity: how many trainings did you have, when you was the same age as me?
János Gats I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)
There is no set time, everyone is different.
You can get flexible about 5 or more days fully FLEXIBLE becouse its an thing i trained 3 days and i can do so low, but i need more practice
Are you still doing Taekwondo I hope u reply Iam white belt I will be yellow soon
Gracias
Thank you very much!!! I have been doing taekwondo for 3 years ( im 16) and have the power but just need the flexibility to reach my full potential :D idk if u will respond but can anyone tell me how many times a week u should do this stretching... I do some in practice but minimum...

Hey dude, was wondering if you had any tips for calf flexibility specifically, my kicks don't really fully extend from the knee down due to tight calves, hamstrings are fine though but it kinda results in my kicks ending up as hooks haha
I'm starting a workout regime here pretty soon to lose more weight and get a little toned. But I also want to try and work some flexibility exercise in there as well. I was wondering, are some people naturally more flexible than others? Because I was following your video the best I could and it turns out, surprisingly, I can almost do a full split (2 or 3 inches from the ground) with little discomfort, keep my legs completely straight while bending over and touching my knuckles flat to the floor with no discomfort, and I can stand straight up and slowly lift one leg a little higher than head level and easily hold it there. All this despite the facts I have never worked out and since I started college, I don't live a very active lifestyle. I'm a 24 year old male, 5'9" and right around 200 pounds now. I had a pretty physically demanding job before I started college and lost around 80 pounds through just dieting and no change in exercise level over the course of a year.
Do you think I'm doing something wrong? D:
Some peopl are and you sound like you have good genetics. Keep working hard and i'm sure you will get what you want :)
When I practice the split, then my feet begin to feel like the feet do not get trapped after 1 or 2 hours. Why is it like that? When I have been doing for 1 month and I have taught you to practice the split,
how long do you think it will take to get where you at if I stretch/train everyday - please before answering this I also have a martial arts background and in shape!
marlonbrando1985 It all depends on many factors like genetics, form, consistency, etc. The best thing you can do is stretch with good form consistently and you will improve. How fast? I have no idea but you will certainly keep improving with practice. Good luck :)
I want to get my kicks higher that's why I try to stretch as often as I can but the problem is everytime I stretched and get back to a normal position my knees hurt like hell for about half an hour.
Do you know what I am doin wrong or how I could avoid these pains?
(I warm up enough)
I'm 24, going to 25 this March, and i'm a Wushu Athlete, and these videos you made are very helpful! i will start doing your program. Thank you man!
