I've read the Juji's guide about flexibility but I still got a couple of questions that need answers.

1) Is it right to train only basic kicks to gain specific dinamic flexibility to be good at kicks like Tornados, 540 etc. ?
2) I train 3 days a week at the gym to build up mass, so is it good to do my flexibility training after the gym sessions or I should avoid it when the muscles I want to train are sore?
3) How long does it take to see some improvement utilizing the dinamic flexibility training created by Juji on the main page?

Many thanks :)

1)Train whatever dynamic kick relates to the trick you want to learn.

E.G. inside crescents for tornado kicks & 540s, outside crescents & hook kicks for 360 kicks etc.

2)Dynamic before a workout,static & / or isometric after.

3)Not very long,my dynamic flexibility increase by about 200% after the first week of doing basic kicks & lifts.

4)As Ewasiuk said. Read it again & you'll get your answers in more detail; I know they're in there.

1) Is it right to train only basic kicks to gain specific dinamic flexibility to be good at kicks like Tornados, 540 etc.?Rephrase this. 'Train only' as in, doing basic kicks instead of actually practicing a tornado? Developing basic dynamic flexibility is a way to do it more safely and focus on the minute changes in the range.

2) I train 3 days a week at the gym to build up mass, so is it good to do my flexibility training after the gym sessions or I should avoid it when the muscles I want to train are sore?Yes, it's good. Don't avoid it. Stretching sore muscles helps prevent them from shortening. The muscles are warmed up and more pliable. They are also tired so hopefully they will relax a bit. At the same time, you probably created microtears during your exercise session so more than ever be wary of avoiding ballistic stretching, no forcing.

3) How long does it take to see some improvement utilizing the dinamic flexibility training created by Juji on the main page?There's no way of calculating the amount of time, 'some improvement' is vague enough, but it depends on the quality of a lot of stuff.
