WARNING!
Beware of cheap knockoffs of our DVDs! Pirated copies of our DVDs, available on EBay and other auction sites, do not work right and often are not even copied off our DVDs but off old VHS tapes. Yes, it is easier to convert an old VHS to a DVD-R than to make a working copy of our original DVD with its copy protection. Genuine, working DVDs of Secrets of Stretching are available only from Stadion Publishing and from our authorized dealers (click here for listings).

You will learn...

• what determines how flexible you are
• how to test your flexibility potential to see if you can achieve front splits, side splits or Chinese splits
• how to choose your stretching method for any sport or martial art
• how to arrange your strength exercises and stretches
  (Video shows four ready-made exercise routines, from beginner to advanced.)
• how to have your full flexibility--your high kicks and splits, normally available only after a warm-up--without any warm-up
• how to safely prepare yourself for strength and flexibility training routines shown on this video -- leading eventually to Tom Kurz's results

Attention: No stretching equipment or stretching machines are needed, but many strength exercises require weights (dumbbells, barbells, pulleys, ankle weights or iron boots).

Testimonials

“DVD is very good in terms of progressive description of exercises. Sometime after watching it I feel everyone in this world should watch it and learn from such a great video :-).”

—Piyush Jain

“I'm a student of physiotherapy at Helsinki Polytechnic in Finland, Europe, and I'm a practicing martial artist since 1990. I must say that I've found invaluable help from the Secrets of Stretching video both in my own training and in instructing others how to stretch safely and efficiently when I do workout plans for customers at the gym/fitness center at which I work. Also, and I say this in all sincerity; I've never seen a site that compares to yours in value from a fitness/rehab/martial arts point of view! So I thought it appropriate to tell you what a great job you're doing. Thank you!”
