Why Flexibility is Important in Taido

This entry is part 4 of 6 in the series Flexibility for Taido

In my last arti­cle (You’re Probably Stretching Wrong), I wrote that the stan­dard 5 minute warm-up stretch is inad­e­quate for build­ing flex­i­bil­ity. That’s no big deal  —  we can just stretch for longer. How much stretch­ing are we talk­ing about here any­way? I’ll sug­gest 15 to 20 min­utes, at least three times a week. Why Spend Time Stretching?
