Sigh, I really don't want to say this, but for someone who is passionate about martial art and want to get strong, that is an extremely poor learning attitude.

You realize that you are almost the only person who thinks that stretches are not of any use, so you basically is declaring that you are the only person who is right and everyone else here who made a comment are wrong.

Again, our view is only that, stretches is a preventive exercise, that can help you gain flexibility so that you don't hurt yourself when you try to exceed specific range of movement.

If you truly are someone who want to help others, you shouldn't be denying helpful exercises.

As far as high kick is concern, all i said was "FOR THE MOST PART". I never said its totally useless.
