Craig's Ballistic Stretching

[bl_]

Quote

everything I just said I say because it works for me and the people I train, but it may not work for you or I might just be talking garbage.  It's the internet after all and I'm really just a stranger.

Ha ha, that's the best conclusion to any training advice offered online I've ever read.  

However, thanks for some good general tips, I know it's not possible to be more specific, but it helps anyway. Standing pancake holds and pelvic circles in seated pancake both feel right, so I'll start there. 

Cheers

Any news on where these ballistic stretching follow-along videos have been/will be posted? I'm very interested but am late to the party. Thanks.

@Craigis There a way to access this course still? Seems valuable and well liked. I’d love to get a hold of it. 
 

thanks

Hi Casey,

It looks like the uscreen page for the course is still accessible here, but I would be careful about purchasing since Craig has removed all of the old courses from his current site. If he doesn't reply here, I would contact him directly - his info is on his contact page.

Alternatively, Emmet Louis has some excellent, free material on YouTube: Emmet's Blackboard: Ballistic stretching, Head to Toe stretching, and BALLISTIC Pancake Stretching Routine ft Emmet Louis.

Hi everyone! So this post is pretty old and if you've found it, the answer is "no the programs aren't available anymore". 

I don't at all practice any of the things I used to and I'm not at all keen on teaching things I don't practice myself. Those programs are now super old and lots has happened in the world of flexibility training since then, which means they are also pretty dated. 

The good news is that there is tons of free stuff available that's basically just as good if not better than what I had. I'm sure if you youtube "ballistic stretching program" you'll get about a million hits these days. @Emmet Louisbasically made it all available for free too. I'd recommend starting there: https://www.youtube.com/user/EmmetLouis/videos . And of course the mighty Sea Dog @Kit_L can likely hook you up with some good training principles regarding ballistic stretching (see attached).

If you're interested in what I'm up to these days, I've basically gone 'full dao', all of my training is in the Daoist tradition of Da Xuan - you can read more at my website if you're interested (www.craigmallett.com).

Thanks guys for the info and insight.

@Craig A crackup of an image! Where did you get the base image from? This really made me laugh!

[Emmet Louis]

@Kit_L The picture of your face I think I screen capped from the conversation you had with Dave when he asked how that epic ballistic experiment you were doing when Fred was in Australia. The base meme is from Lord of the rings

That Tache was epic btw it should come back.

What Emmet said! It's from the coffee shop conversation you filmed with Dave where you were talking about ballistic stretching for some amount of days in a row. Good times

I have thought of doing a 'tache' and a goatee, but Miss O mentioned the "D" word, so I decided against it!
