“I've been trying for 18 years to do the box splits, with not much success and many people (black and white) constantly telling me, that "most black people have too much density in their muscles to do the splits, you'll never succeed". This is me 4 months after buying your DVD Secrets of Stretching.

“My Highest Regards”

Thank you for an awesome book."

“I have fought in four Ultimate Fighting Championships and have been invited back to the Ultimate Ultimate in December '96. I will fight in Vale Tudo Tournament in Brazil in October and in Japan in November. I attribute some of my success to your tape [Secrets of Stretching]. Not only have they guided me in achieving the splits on chairs, but [also] have conditioned and strengthened my hip flexors and adductors so much that I have a very strong `guard' position, which helps me in my ground fighting. Thank you so much for sharing your secrets with me.”

We thank Mr. Jeff Joslin, from Johnson City, Tennessee, for sending his photo of the suspended side split—result of following Tom Kurz's method of stretching. Here is what Mr. Joslin wrote about using the stretching method described in book Stretching Scientifically and shown on video Secrets of Stretching:

“Thanks for your stretching books and video's. They really work! My son [Javan] can do it naturally, I had to work at it. Thanks to your methods, I am the only one so far in my studio that can do this. Everyone ask how I can kick so high and be so flexible. I tell them consistency and the right method, Stretching Scientifically! It took me 8 months to get to this point because I lapsed on my training. But after 4 months I was within 6 inches of a split. I am more flexible now than I ever was in college and professional football. Thanks for the best stretching method I have ever seen. Keep the info coming!

“God Bless!

“Another satisfied customer!”
—Jeff Joslin, 1st Degree Black Belt, 36 years old, Johnson City, Tennessee

“I am very thankful for the effectiveness of the programs you have included in your book and video.

“Thanks again, best regards and more power to you.”

“I have had your stretching book for a couple of years and was able to do the side splits after a couple of months. I was satisfied with that accomplishment until the beginning of this past summer. I decided to do the `impossible,' the split between the chairs. Enclosed is my photo. I totally agree with your statement, in the magazines, `An “authority” that can't show this [the split between chairs] is no authority.' Thanks, your method does work, and it is the best.”

“After having the tape [Secrets of Stretching] for two weeks I made excellent progress and told my friends about it. Next thing, they asked if I would lend them the tape, and so the tape wandered from one guy to another and that's the last time I ever saw it.

“Later my job schedule was so bad that I had to stop my training and with it went my stretching.

“Now, after a few years, I am able to return to my training and so this time I ordered your book [Stretching Scientifically].

“In mid-October, 1997, I decided to follow every step outlined in this book and I write to you with pleasure to inform you I have accomplished my goal: a split between chairs, by mid-November, 1997. At any given time or place, if anybody asks me to do the split (it happens often), I do it in a split second with no warm-up whatsoever.

“I just want to thank you for the valuable info in your book as well as on the video. The main thing behind it is to follow the outlined steps and stick to it. That way anybody can accomplish maximum flexibility. I know I did.”

“Before I was introduced to your stretching method, it took me six months to [get] 10 inches from the floor in splits using common stretching methods. When I was about to give up I happened upon your ad [for the book Stretching Scientifically] in Black Belt magazine. I was impressed and I wanted that ability. Now I have it.”

“The results have been astounding! Students have displayed excellent flexibility which they parlayed into outstanding kicks in terms of height, speed, and power. Injury rates have declined significantly.

“The stretch I have achieved with your techniques has stayed with me despite brief periods of inactivity. This is especially important to me as my schedule sometimes has me traveling where it is impossible to train.”

“In 1992 I slipped down a flight of iron steps and injured my lower back. I have a permanent injury to the muscle.

“I have been in the martial arts for 24 years. Before the fall I could do both front and side splits. I ordered a copy of your book Stretching Scientifically in June of 1993. With its help and hard work I have been able to do the front split again and I am working on the side split. I am sending you a picture of myself in the side split and you can see that I still have to support myself. Your book has helped in many ways, especially with my lower back.

“I am 46 years old and I workout six days a week. I spend 30 minutes a day on stretching, half of it in warm-up. Thank you for your book.”
—Ollie Speakman, Tullahoma, Tennessee

“In November of 1992 I fell down down a flight of metal stairs and injured my lower back. I was in a back brace almost six months and the doctors said [that] I would be partially disabled for the rest of my life.

(Click on the icon to view the actual photo)

“In June of 1993 I ordered your book Stretching Scientifically. Prior to ordering your book, I had talked to other professionals about exercises to help my back and flexibility. Most said I could strengthen my back, but the flexibility was something else. I bought other books, but they were not what I needed.

“When your book come, I first looked through it thinking it was just another book. […] After about two weeks I started reading it and decided to study it more carefully. I would read a part of it , and then I would experiment to find out what could help me. In 1994 I was able to do the front splits and the side splits with the help of a cane for balance.

“In 1992 I was 44 years old. Today I am 50 years old and I feel more flexible than I did when I was 30 years old.”
—Ollie Speakman, Tullahoma, Tennessee

“After a few months of using your method of stretching I can kick `cold.' Without any warm-up or stretching I can throw my feet at anybody's head as if I had no muscles or bones in my legs. Now I can also do side (straddle) split on chairs.”
—Piotr Stabinski, Olsztyn, Poland

“I can't believe how well your book [Stretching Scientifically] works! I have never been able to achieve the full splits or have as much strength as your method has given me. Here is my picture, just so you'll know how well it worked for me. This doesn't even hurt!”
