I've done Taekwondo for 11 years now, and though I'm easily more flexible than most people, I want to push it too the next level. I don't need it for any competitions or anything, in fact I don't even use that many high kicks, but It's something I want to develop to loosen myself up and hopefully help me on later in life as age starts to take it's effect. I don't want to get to the point like the 63 year old man in our class who can barely lift his leg up to my ribs when kicking. That may be an impossibility, but I still want to try.
Any tips on increasing flexibility for the long term besides just the usual stretches done in class?
