5.0 out of 5 stars the ultimate flexibility book, 1 Feb 2003
By A Customer
there is not much I can say about this book but superb. If you want to do the side splits, front splits and road kill splits this is the book for you. I have another flexibility book with over 250 useless stretches this book only has 36 that work....

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes... A stretching book that makes sense!, 9 Feb 2002
By Healing Spirit (Bristol, England) - See all my reviews
Like all of his products, on first impression the book is pricy by UK standards. But you get a lot of high quality information for your money so it does represent value for money.

For any martial artist, dancer or individual wishing to improve their flexibility, this book is a must. It goes through passive stretching, isometric stretching, the dreaded clasp knife and has copious photos demonstrating the different stretches. I'm well into my 40s and the exercises have helped me to become a lot more flexible and to be strong in that newly extended range of movement.

Buy it.... that's all I can say.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exellent stretching resource for serious athletes, 26 Jan 2004
The two key requirements for any training resource are that (a) the methodology is effective and that (b) it is explained in such a way that the user can implement it effectively, and this book comes up trumps on both counts.

The methods are clearly explained with just the right amount of science, enough to understand the process, but never the less aimed at a practical user rather than a medical audience. All the stretches are also clearly illustrated with good quality photographs ensuring correct implementation.

The only proviso I would make is that the protocols required to achieve results require both mental toughness and pain tolerance, which should not be a problem for those serious about improving performance in their chosen activities, but for those simply seeking increased mobility in everday life I would recommend 'Super Joints' by the same author as an alternative.
