"It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question"
Dear Friends
I my last seminar in CO, I asked a question that made me rethink what students want to learn.
I asked "What would you like to work on today, strength OR stretch training???" And to my surprise, they asked for stretching!!!
I would have thought with a room full of Black Belts that they would prefer to double their power, but NOOOO.....they wanted to double their flexibility.
So I dug down deep and taught a stretching drill that I learned many years ago that no one had seen before.....not even the Master of the school.
I remember the 1st time I taught this at a seminar. I was opening up for a Senior Master Fred Bagley before he took over. Afterwards he shook my hand and said 'That was GREAT!! Good job."
So I demonstrated this with a young black belt at my seminar who had good flexibility, and within 3 minutes of working with him on it he had almost added 2 feet to his hamstring stretch.
I included the footage in Vol. 3 of this course because it was LIVE.
Not only did some people DOUBLE their flexibility with just this one stretch.
Several students with injuries came up to me and said they felt better and have no more pain. One Black belt with serious leg surgery said he feels better then ever before.

I had a knee surgery about 7 years ago to fix my ACL And ever since the surgery the back of my leg was very tight. Earlier this year I was at a seminar with GM Brassard and he showed me a stretch that made me feel GREAT right after doing it, and now it's my favorite stretch!! Thank you GM Brassard

What does it matter if you can kick someone in the head but have no power in it???

The second part will cover Iso-active stretches.
This type stretching has been documented to be over 267% more effective than conventional stretching
This is the heart of my course on two DVD's.
These types of exercise are like a tune-up for the nervous system; because they force you to tighten your muscles as far as possible.
Even if you do no other type of training, this program will boost your strength and flexibility in the highest way possible.
Add iso-active flexibility to a regular strength training routine and both programs will work in synergy, enhancing each other and augmenting your results significantly.
👉Stretching tissues can take years, Changes in the nervous system are immediate. Your muscles start noticeably elongating from your first practice.
This type of stretching has been documented to be over 267 % more effective than conventional stretching. Iso-active stretching will enhance your flexibility by making you stronger in the stretched position.
It will maximize the functional range of motion of your muscles. Because it will involve moving the body under complete muscular control, I call the resulting increase in motion a "functional" increase.
Range of motion which is not matched by strength is pointless.
By learning these methods you will increase you range of motion of all the joints and muscles in your body. And do it in a safe and balance way.

INSTANTLY Double Your Flexibility and Strength at the SAME
To all Students,
I've put up my Secrets of Stretching for download on my new site.
In this course you will learn the Iso-Active stretches..which is over 267% more effective than conventional stretching
Aside from dramatically increasing your range of motion,
Iso Active Stretching makes you STRONGER in the weakest of positions.
And this is one of the keys to it's success. Your body will only allow you to go to a range it feels it can safely pull you back from.
If your muscles don't have confidence in your strength, it simply will not allow you to go there.
Check out the video above...it was shot at my seminar.
You will see for yourself how effective this type of stretching really is.

The Secret to Safe Instant Flexibility
To all Students,
Iso-Active Stretching is by far the most effective and safe method for increasing the range of motion of your joints.
Before I explain how isometrics can be used for stretching and why it is so effective, allow me first to explain the difference between standard stretching and isometric stretching.
One involves stretching; the other doesn’t – at least not in the usual sense.
Stretching in the traditional manner most of us grew up with and some still use is generally static in nature.
By this I mean you place a muscle in an elongated position, past it’s usual comfort zone and slowly stretch or pull the fibres apart and then stay there.
It usually hurts just a little. This lack of movement means it’s static – you just hold a position for say 30 seconds. Then do something else.
The fibres of your muscles are slowly pulled apart and weakened increasing your flexibility and range of motion.
This can often lead to weak unstable joints that are prone to injury, especially around the knees and lower back.
Without the tight strength of your supporting muscles, tendons and ligaments is all to easy to pop out a joint or strain it when in a weak position.
That isn’t what Iso-Active Stretching is about.
Iso-Active Stretching is based on becoming stronger in those weak positions, having firm solid and tight tendons and ligaments capable of contracting against great force but still being flexible.
Check out the below video for another sample of this type of stretch
"l have significantly increased my range of motion"
Thank you for your testimonies. To my surprise this course is not just increasing one's range of motion, BUT also relieving pain from injuries as well. Study this course and you will increase your flexibility and add strength to your WHOLE body, AND relieve pain from old injuries

Your spine is equivalent of the universal joint on a car
Every piece of pressure generated by movement goes through it...
From little motions of the head and neck, to very powerful forces such as those generated in a heavy football tackle or a jiu-jitsu throw....not to mention punching and kicking.
The spinal muscles have to be kept strong for they are involved in practically every motion, from throwing and twisting to bending and lifting.
The stronger your spinal muscles, the better you will be at practically ANY athletic motion you can name.
Given this, it's ironic that this Back Strength Training is overlooked by many martial artist.
Back Strength Training (BST) can eliminate a host of problems associated with abuse to the human body.
The drills I show will help realign the vertebrae into the correct position responsible for proper posture.
Even the bones will become stronger over time.
The disks in your back are made of cartilage, and like all cartilage, they have very little blood flow.
Instead they receive nutrition from liquids in the joints, called Synovial fluid.
Because it's not associated with the circulation, fresh fluid can only reach the joints when those joints move around.
BST removes waste and sends plenty of nutritious fluid to the disks, healing them, preventing degeneration and ensuring maximum health.......
These types of exercises will make ALL your athletic movements more POWERFUL!!!

The Power of the Trinity
Over the 45+ years I have picked up a few advanced tricks.
Tricks that will maximize your joint health as well as increase your flexibility. I put these into a simple routine, and it gives RADICAL RESULTS.
It will take a body from stiff and immobile to lithe, young and agile....in only minutes a day!!!
Students I have taught will tell you that this trinity works like magic. But there's nothing paranormal about it. It's just a refinement of every effective, powerful joint training idea I've picked up over the years.
👉 These three exercises build function, strength and mobility at the same time.
Any gymnast will tell you that this kind of training makes you stronger and more agile. That is because you have to contract your muscles HARD to perform these holds.
The issue isn't so much the weight being lifted, but the high levels of muscular contraction required to perform the hold.
Like I said before, Iso-Active exercises are like a tune up for the nervous system. They force you to tighten your muscles as far as possible.
At the same time, the muscles on the opposite side of your body are stretched, not in an exaggerated way, but to the limits of their range of motion.
👉 These three exercises work entire chains of muscles.
The whole system benefits.
BONUS DVD
Third part of the course will teach you Energy drills and joint mobility stretches.
We're talking great stuff here.......
For example did you know there are many combat athletes doing exercises that are literally harming themselves???
Why is that more and more martial artists need knee surgery??? Why is it some are even having hip replacements???
And why is it that after age 40 that many top kickers now have kicks that turned to shit???
In this part you will learn some quick simple easy to learn energy drills that will correct these weaknesses instantly.
Minutes after doing these drills, you're going to have greater flexibility and power in you lower limbs. You're also going to feel fired-up and full of pep that has been drained out of you.
In addition to this you'll find that the exercises in this part will loosen every joint in your body. Just doing these drills and joint loosen exercises, even without the other stretches, will astound you.
You will feel young again bouncing off the walls with energy.

"I'm a martial artist who has sustained injuries, so I have a great appreciation for this. At Grandmaster Brassard's last seminar we worked on an exercise from his "Strengthening and Stretching" course. That exercise helped me feel relief from my injury pain, as well as increased flexibility!!"
