Small question

[CrazyKid746]

Yo. I've read Juji's flexibility articles (the exercises really do help a lot in Tricking and martial arts. Helps me a lot today as well). There is a question that isn't answered for me: Does developing Static Passive flexibility help develop Dynamic Flexibility as well? I've seen small hints of it, but I really didn't find a good clear answer to it.

Your passive flexibility helps determine your flexibility reserve, which means the potential range of motion your joints should have in a dynamic motion. So the better your static flexibility the more potential your dynamic flexibility has (kind of). My terminology might be off a tad, I just woke up.

So basically, the answer is sorta yes?

Training one will offer some benifit to the other, but not enough to be a viable means of training.

Train both

That's what I plan to do. :D

STatic passive > dynamic > static active

How the fuck can a guy have dynamic fliexibility if he has no static flexibility. Can u fucking run if u can't walk?

My dynamic flexibility is hella better than my static, my front and side splits are terrible yet I can kick over my head without problems....

That's still not the same as doing a split. Unless your legs are both locked out and straight and your back is arching backwards (not hunching) then your dynamic ROM is probably about where your static flexibility is, maybe a tad farther along. It just seems greater because it's vertical and you're in motion.

The answer is a definite maybe.
