Taekwondo Splits
Before Taekwondo classes…?
Before you start really Taekwondo classes what kind of exercises do you do? Do you do push-ups and splits?
Warm ups to increase stamina (running, etc.) and strength (especially core strength). Then some stretches. If you’re attempting to do the splits, then you should stretch your legs beforehand, rather than just trying to go straight into them. You’ll find it a lot easier, and there’s less risk of injury. We also do exercises to improve our reactions, like shadowing a partner.

Karate Flexibility Exercises
Does anyone know any good exercises/stretches to help gain back flexibility? ?
So after 12 years of martial arts training I suffered a severe knee injury and had to have several surgeries and a lot of work done to both of my knees. Now, (about a year later) I’m just starting to get back into karate but I’ve lost almost all of the flexibility in my legs. Does anyone know any good stretches/exercises that would help me gain back my flexibility but doesn’t put too much strain on the knees?
There are 3 things you need to remember with stretching:
1. Warm up first – stretching cold muscles is a no-no (getting to a light sweat is a good indicator you’re warm)
2. Use correct technique – so you don’t stress your joints
3. Go slowly – it will probably take months to gain back your flexibility
You’ll probably have a hard time. I remember when I strained a tendon in my knee last year and had to sit out for a month. Then once I was able to go back it took 2 or 3 months til I was as bendy as I was before I got hurt.
That’s nothing compared to your situation, but I can relate to the frustration.
A few of my favorites are basic, like touching your toes, lunges, etc. One trick I really like is to put a fist under my knee when I’m doing sitting stretches – but that’s because I’m prone to overextending my knees and elbows.
My favorite stretch ever is to lie on your back, spread your arms (so you’re making a T shape), and touch your foot to the opposite hand. The trick is to keep both shoulders on the floor. It really gets your quads and then you can avoid the ‘hold your ankle to your butt’ stretch. Once you start to manage that, try it standing up to improve your balance. 
Happy stretching!

Dynamic Judo
wat is better. judo or jiu jitsu?
personaly i think that judo is better because the founder of it took all the effective jiu jitsu tech. from many different styles and combined it into one martial art. also, i think judo tends to be a more dynamic sport than jiu jitsu.

First off. BJJ is not JuJitsu. It was taken from Judo. In the 1951 Jigoro Kano the creator of Judo sent his best students to Brazil to compete againts Brazils top fighters which included Helio Gracie Royces Father. One of them fought Helio Gracie and Broke his arm with an arm lock. The mans name was Masahiko Kimura… Which is why Helio named that arm lock the Kimura. After the man that broke his arm… So the fact that it was called BJJ rather than Brazillion or Gracie Judo is suprising to most people at the time.
To those people who say Judo is only takedowns and throws etc… They know nothing about either style… BJJ takes all of it’s submissions from Judo, not JuJitsu and Judo does not in anyway take anything from BJJ.
Judo is more well rounded and offers the same and more techniques than BJJ. All you need to do is take one look at Karo Parisyan in the UFC and see how effective Judo is in that styloe of fighting.
Judo is defenatly more dynamic rounded and better suited for physical fitness and self defence. JuJitsu is not intended as a sport it was created as a means of restraining or subduing an attacker once you were able to grab them or they grabbed you. Don’t mistake JuJitsu and BJJ they are totally different. BJJ iwas created specifically for sport that is why it limits the amount of take downs it teaches and only focusses on a core group of techniques. Judo was created to replace JuJitsu in Japan as the main self defence style for police military and other groups, which it did… As for a Black belt in BJJ or JuJitsu beating black belt Judoka… LMAO. There are half the belts in BJJ to get to Black. Less years are required and you learn fewer techniques than you will in Judo. The Judoka would throw the BJJ fighter on his head faster than he can even think of what he’s gonna do next. Then hold him down and make him tap with a Ude garame… Or as BJJ calls it Kimura, which again is named after the Judoka who broke Helio’s arm….
