text: what are some ways of working towards splits(streching techs) will it make u kick high?how long will it take? i need be able to kick high with legs striaght,(when i kick high my knees bend lol) and be able to do the splits? i strech nearly everyday i miss 2 days a week at most,but i dont know much techquines(sp?). will doing the splits help me kick high (i think it wil lol)how long will is usually take? thanks i know some people will never be able to do the splits, but i know i can do it, when i was 4-7 or 8 i could do it, but i dont remember me doing any streching techquines back then, lol, proably because i was just small.thanks. an exercise that i learnt in taekwondo class involved two people facing each other, you have your back against a wall (for support)  raising one of your legs with the help of your partner facing, slowly get your partner to hold your ankle/calf area to push up further and further (while you keep breathing) and push until your toes are pointing towards the ceiling leg straight as high as you can go feeling a good strong stretch. when you are finished bring your leg down slowly, knee bent as you do,  then relax and then alternately stretch your other leg with the help of your partner and repeat the procedure. you can repeat this so each leg has been stretched twice  each and be sure to keep your heel (not your foot) inline with the wall and your back straight as you can.  your partner and you can swap positions so you both get a go.  it will take about 1 - 2 months to achieve your result 2 - 3 times a week based on my own performance.
