Hi all

I am 42 years old and my two 8 yr old boys made me join Kung Fu classes with them or they refused to go!!

It's important to me that they learn a good self defence technique so I had to agree. I have never done any Martial Arts before. The style is Mok Gar.

I'm enjoying the sparring and holding my own but my stretching and flexibility is terrible! To the point that I'm hardly past my knees touching my toes!!

So the 2 questions I ask are this. Can you advise some stretching exercises, half an hour a day is all I have. At the moment I'm trying to touch my toes and do splits for as far down as I can go plus some leg raises.

The other is will I ever be able to do those cool high kicks or will my current waist high ones be my max?

Thanks

Chris
