5 Tips for Flexibility Without Stretching in the Martial Arts – Sensei Ando

5 Tips for Flexibility Without Stretching in the Martial Arts – Sensei Ando

October 2, 2018 By MAO40 Staff

One of the things that is often overlooked in the exercise and workout routines of many people is that of flexibility when conducting their exercises.
