MMA and me; day 188

Yesterday we stressed the importance of stretching. We went over why stretching is important, and how having an above average degree of flexibility can pay off in jiu jitsu, and mma as a whole. We then went through an extremely rigorous hip stretching routine, where we utilized our arms, belts, and for some people (not me!) weights. I do not possess a great deal of flexibility in my hips, yet. I will eventually become a fairly flexible person, because for the goals I have set for myself, I will need it. I intend to begin a small stretching routine, and one of my early New Year's resolutions is to being taking yoga classes. It's going to happen, and I see big things in my future for me in jiu jitsu!
