I wanted to get some helpful advice in regards to improving my flexibility by means of stretching and etc., in my legs. As far as body and size goes, I'm a medium-somewhat-stocky build, about 5'9. I don't have naturally thin or long legs, rather....medium in length and thick. I do stretches for about a half hour before my training routine both mornings and evenings. I use a staff to assist me, in my leg stretches. I first stretch my groin muscle (Legs spread apart..Ouch!) then my hamstring and etc. Then depending on my routine I use bars of certain height's to stretch my legs in a upward kick or side kick position. I just want to know if any of you pro's out there have any suggestions or advice that can help me acheive my goals....FLEXIBILITY. I understand that no two people are the same, but I want to not only harness my natural attributes, but go above and beyond, and try to make my body do, what I normally can't do, if that's possible. Just thought I'd give it shot and ask the rest of you out there, to see what you guys suggest. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Jose PS. I've only been a member of this forum a short time, and I must comment that this forum has been a wonderful resource of knowledge and practical application. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

He will be holding a silat seminar at Omega Karate in Castle Rock Colorado on Sunday August 8th from noon until 4pm. Cost is $20 This is a guy who can dribble me like a basketball, which seeing that alone makes it worth the admission ------------------------------ From: Sean_3_Maguire@sbphrd.com Date: Tue, 27 Jul 1999 15:06:45 -0400 Subject: eskrima: FMA on Strangers with Candy For what its worth I flipped by this show- its on Comedy Central. The opening had the main character (a 40 year old high school student), holding a stick vertically while a classmate did a double stick six count. Made me laugh.

I believe that Manong Al Conception trained with Manong LaCoste in Stockton. I do not know if he teaches Lacoste's system.
