Torture

shes adorable :)

[CodHoogie]

I need a level before beginners i see.

[martinwettig]

modern wushu schools in western countries don't stretch that hard, that's why it looks so unfamiliar and relatively hard to reproduce.

actually stretching like this, performing a good split and simple body control exercises like a free handstand are PURE BASICS. without this basic workout you can't go on in training...

[DJGahann]

This is hardly a beginner's way of stretching. I'm 1 year into Wushu and I'm having trouble with this one still....

[gonzoderp]

i dont have subtitles on mine...must be for americans lol im just jokin

[gamrage]

My kung fu masters make me do that with my grounded leg closer to the wall and the leg against the wall above my head, and they push me into the wall from behind.. it hurts..

[windtwist]

C'mon guys! How did you expect to show this stretch? She's not a beginner. How else can she show this? If you were a gymnast and this was your first Wushu class and you saw her do this you'd think," wow i can do that and i can go higher." However, she is merely showing possibilities. Yeah she can do that. When one is practicing it matters very little where ones coach is. the teacher opens the door. It is up to the student to walk through it. Don't be so shallow! think!

[thelastair1]

me legs are always bowed so how are i gonna make the flexibel

[dogongood]

Thumbs if you noticed the camera man moving his hand in the mirror.

[Brutaka921]

I had no idea that this was a Wushu stretch. I did this everyday for years.

[LoyalBrotherz817]

goddamit when a stretch out my ass mucles kramps!!?

i can do that but some mucles krap why is that?

[macedmatt]

@LoyalBrotherz817 take it slow and drink more water and get more potassium, that worked for me

[LoyalBrotherz817]

@macedmatt what is potassium?

[macedmatt]

@LoyalBrotherz817 like vitamins that are in bananas and tomato's, good for preventing cramps

[LoyalBrotherz817]

@macedmatt Ok thanks for the informations. :)

[zigzigerblat]

If you do those stretches 5 days a week and just don't push yourself hard the full range of flexibility will come as long as you use good form. If you push it to fast and hard, you will only get tight and hurt and go backward.

I learned the hard way many times.. I know.

[TheSunita19]

i am going to cry if i have to do that but il try ;)

[MajinBuu135]

its easy for girls where they dont have it and then we have it

(u no the thing we have o||o)

[Sagramorbald]

@MajinBuu135 Believe me, it's not the BALLS that hurt :P

[aMagicalUnic0rn]

@molodiv I wasn't acting, just making a point! AND DON'T LIE THEY DON'T PUT SUBTITLES ON ALL THEIR VIDEOS. anyone can easily search EV videos to see for themselves.

[youneveri]

uh oh..another boner

[delpha3110]

tat`s get`s everywhere don`t you

[anikinippon]

Well when your leg is fake, of course you can stretch like that

[AcidicBathWater]

@anikinippon Sounds like someones a lard ass! :D ^.^ 

[aMagicalUnic0rn]

Thats true actually I cant speak Klingon but sure the heck can read it! Why arn't all they other expert village subtitled too? 

[Mytho14]

lol, one day I will be able to stretch that far haha

[aMagicalUnic0rn]

I can perfectly understand what she is saying why put subtitles thats so rude

[Komesanos]

@aMagicalUnic0rn besause not everyone here speaks English and it's easier to understand if it's written

[TheDrg0n]

@Komesanos well how hard is it to stretch for crying out loud? Do you have to be spoon fed word per word?

[molotiv]

@aMagicalUnic0rn They put subtitles on all their vids... You act dumb

[dedeen]

@aMagicalUnic0rn They put subtitles on a lot of their videos. Even the native English speakers.

I've got to say though, she could probably take down a group of thugs in 5 seconds, she's deadly...

[razvantnc]

@aMagicalUnic0rn Expert Village puts subtitles for every video almost,check it out,it's not just her.

[kungfoolkyle1998]

@aMagicalUnic0rn lol

[terrorista31]

@aMagicalUnic0rn

I speak spanish and that subtitles help me a lot to understand what is she saying, so maybe that help to others too

[MsAmberW14]

@aMagicalUnic0rn I think they put subtitles in most of their videos ( or at least the ones that I have seen.

[gedp1213]

That's for begginers?

[surver1]

@gedp1213 for noobs  :DDD

[OxideEcho]

@gedp1213 yes it is. i go to wushu and you have to do a lot of hard stretches

[k9r100]

@gedp1213 i guess experts dont need a wall at all lol

[GillianIsMe1]

@gedp1213 Yes man, that's for beginnners. I am a wushu student and based on my experience, on your first time on doing this, you are not really forced to raise your leg high. You are just advised to raise your leg just up to the level where you can raise your leg. As time goes by, when your muscles are pretty stretched, you can raise your leg up higher to your standard level (which is just basically up to your hips).

[redshotwell]

darn it..haven't done that kind of stretch since i was 13 (20y/o now)... :/ gotta get back my flexibility again...:/

[dayunghustla]

omg she has fievue shoes i want black ones im stuck with these black and gold shoes for kung-fu...

[InfedelKillerz]

Damn, for real begginers, you have to break your leg in 3 places to do that

[hakuboshi1]

Ow..Crap WTF a leg isnt supposed to bend that way!! I think I broke my hip HELP ME!!$@!

[Filaxsan]

I love her "engrish"

[NosePrint]

"begginers"...rriiiiight

[leochidori99]

[tarunkzzz]

[DeathSlayerKid]

That was one of the most painful things i have ever done.

[jasma98]

[DeathSlayerKid]

That's exactly what ran through my head :P
