Back in high school I loved karate. If I wasn’t going to karate class, I was training at home with some cool karate equipment. One specific tool that I used on a regular basis was called the Flexmaster. It was more or less a flexibility machine. You would sit in it and crank your legs apart in order to get a good stretch. I used to sit in that thing for 30 minutes at a time, slowly increasing my flexibility. I have to say that it worked rather well. I finally got to where I could do the splits. This meant for range for my kicking techniques. Anything from perfect jump-side kicks, to leaping splits, to jump spinning hook kicks were possible. That was probably my absolute favorite piece of karate equipment. I didn’t want to be without it. Of course there is much more to pick and choose from now days. If you check out martialartsmart.com online or maybe centurymartialarts, you will encounter oodles of karate equipment to suit virtually any practitioner.
