Book Reviews of Stretching Scientifically: A Guide to Flexibility Training (4th Revision ed)

Book Review: Martial Artists' Testimony
Summary: 4 Stars

BUY!
Have been studying Martial Arts for a good 25 years+...(TKD, Judo, Hapkido, Tai Chi, Bagua, Hsing I, Jujitsu...)
Never could do the splits nor "high kicks" until reading this book, understanding the physiology (as explained by Kurz)and then developing my own system based on this book. There are no quick and easy solutions out there. So if youre expecting the book to do it all for you...well, sorry...it's not going to happen... Like anything in life...YOU must do the work. But I can honestly say (I'm 37 yrs old) that my overall flexibility, my side and front splits! are completely the result of Kurzs' scientific lessons on stretching...
Before, I would stretch and stretch for hours on end with steadily DIMINISHING results...Now I do my 8-minute dynamic stretching routine in the morning...and can kick to Max High within the hour and then for the rest of the day! It's an old book and the layout is kinda funky...(hence the lack of 5 stars)...But the results I've obtained merit 10 STARS.
