Yes flexibility and martial arts need to go hand in hand for sure. Back in the day I was also pretty flexible, especially for a 135kg strongman in his prime, I could stand on one leg, grab the other foot and extend that leg straight out (Van dame ish
) with locked knees and spread my legs wide and straight while sitting on the floor, grab each foot and touch my chest and nose to the ground and hold it there, easily. I was a big proponent of maintaining good flexibility and this probably contributed to my low incidence of injury. At comps, onlookers were often quite surprised while I was warming up...I just always did it, both pre and post workout/training
