  • Sensei Frank Brennan 7th Dan.

    As a fighter, he is rather unique, in that he has no particular speciality - he is equally at home using hands or feet, and quite often surprises his opponents with very dynamic combinations of some of the more unusual hand or foot techniques. As a senior member of the KUGB International Squad he led the KUGB team to victory over Japan in the 1990 JKA World Shotokan Championships in. 

  • Im depply sorry for your injurys. I will try to find a modern method of streaching for karate shotokan, if theres is. Sorry my english too.

  • You should not bounce in your stretches. Not ever. Bouncing (balistic stretching) tears far too many muscle fibers and causes joint problems. Don't do it. Science shows that it's not good for your muscles and it is highly likely to have more negative effects then positive. Look it up. There are safer and more modern methods of stretching.

    Naturally, I do not mean any offense to Sensei Brennan. This is not a comment upon his skills as a martial artist but only on his stretching methods.

  • He looks much younger there.

  • There is nothing wrong in bouncing or rocking as long as the movement is gentle and controlled, as in this case.

    After all, you are preparing the body and mind for explosive and dynamic movement. I very often combine the dynamic with static warm-ups.

  • @PETEtheTRAINER he is bouncing because he does an dynamic stretching ...the static stretching is greater than the dynamic one ...but greater than the static one is to combine static with dynamic...you will like to endure the pain ...and if you don't like the pain after an stretching exercise that is executed slowly your body will feel rested ....and far better than before ...is like you have an different body ...

  • ..oss!

  • my instructor was taught by him... says he sacred most students despite being a very quiet and polite individual...

  • Sensei Brennan is 7th dan, he's much younger in this video. I know him.

  • What dan is Sensei Brennan??

    YES It's true, there are only a few scientifically sound methods to safely stretch your muscles & tendons. Mr Brennan is NOT trying to strefch into 'new' acheivements of elongation, but activateing his already ESTABLISHED safe stretched (& joint mobility) standard. You need blood supply & warmth for this activation = bounce

  • @180Patrick360 you're absolutely correct, but remember the time period of this video.

  • he makes it look so easy
