It is claimed that they help the body against the cold and flu and help increase energy levels.

Any truth on these claims? Anybody tried them? if so any results?

Do you think its possible to achieve full box splits at a later age (in your 30's) if you've never been able to do it?


I trained my legs when I was younger and managed to get box splits to about 10” off the floor but I'm really struggling now to get back to there.

Any good stretching advice is greatly appreciated.

Can anyone recommend an effective elbow support that can be used while training gym, weights and/or combatives?

Too many elbow strikes and 'unplanned falls' on wooden and concrete training floors are taking their toll.

Are the padded kevlar ones any good - they look a bit bulky?

For me my aim has always been to be stong and flexible! So obviously yoga is a great choice.

I have just discovered a women on you tube that does great videos and free of charge so check her out.
