flexibility

[**Little*Dragon**]

I have a question regarding flexibility. Is it possible for someone in their 30's to develop good flexiblity (ie. doing the splits,ect.) if they just recently started martial arts? I know that older people can be flexible ( Jackie Chan)...but is that something that has to be maintained over the years or can it be developed later in life, as well?

I think it is possible ... I don't think things are ever too late, just usually harder to attain or harder to start when left a while.... good luck :)

There are 40 and 50 year old guys in my class that are more flexible than me and can do splits easily. Oh did I mention they all started with in the last 2 years.

why the hell does everyone think that 30 is old!?!?!?

================================================== =
The battle started with a grapple, he had real long hair so a grabbed a hand full, and chopped 'em in the Adams-apple, his partner in back of you tried to attack you, so I'ma twist 'em up like a pret-zel then I'ma tag you/I can't believe he wanna grapple again, I swung 'em around like I was dancing wit 'em, put his arms in back of his head and snapped 'em again, I fractured his limbs and put em in the figure-"6 subtracted from 10"...

Sharky...I don't think 30 is old. I am 34 and feel just as young as I ever did...but after pulling my groin last week I noticed that my flexibility isn't what it used to be either. :eek:
