Senior Master
I saw you are discusing felsixibility issues here and I just want to share something. There was a time went to one budo taijutsu class and was told by the sensei thay don't stretch becase they progresive do this inside the class or doing the class, in other words they warm up and stretch as the class progresed so they don't began class with warm up and stretching. This sensei also told me in the streets you don't have the time to say... Hey hold on for X time cause I need to strech or warm up.
I think one have top do some warm up and stretching but not over do this cause it's time consuming and you can finish the class with a few minutes doing stretching.
I am one adult person with average flexibility and yes I know if I do flexibility drills for 30 minutes or so my kicks can go a little higger but... don't have the time to do this, I don't rely on very high kicks (some times I think is just a waste of time) so basically I would rather do 15-20 minutes of a combo light warm up/light stretching to then have one fuill hour of TKD class.
