Answer 1

try 2 do just about 15 min of streching every day that is what i did now i can do splits and back bends and all of that stuff

Answer 2

your age is too much now, and at this stage the flexibility decreases , you start to take a pack of rum daily, it will increase ur flexibility and daily go for running , at least 5 kms, i am a brown belt holder in martial arts, start it, it will surely help u

Answer one says it all.Extreme stretching will get you limber in no time.You are probably saying that you already stretch?Just keep it up,but you will only get so limber.Don`t expect to get more limber than you ever will.

Answer 4

stretch, and practice your kicks =) personally i don't like high kicks, they leave you very open, but, if you wanna look nice flying thru the air, stretch, practice and do lotsa cardio =)
