Hey everyone, hope all is well! Name's Ralph and I've been practicing taekwondo for the better part of 10 years. I've been following FlexTheory on IG for some time now and I absolutely love the content. My goal is to strengthen & improve the mobility in my hips for next year's competitive season and I'm excited to start. I had a decent straddle (at one point I could touch my forehead to the floor) some weeks back but increased demands of work has made it difficult to maintain my flexibility. I want to take a new approach to my training and Andre's clips of high and wide sweeping kicks are an inspiration for me to push myself, so here I am. 😁😁 I wish everyone the best in their respective journeys, I'm rooting for all of us! 🥋👊🏾

#GGBB Session #8 12/2/2025 Introduces an alternative position and progression to number seven. I literally feel a half inch taller after doing this, and might go dunk on a random stranger.

Hey everyone, this afternoon was brutal! First attempt at "Hips of Fury, Squat One"—and I completely imploded afterwards. My naive idea of immediately tackling "Faux-sacks to Cossacks #3" was quickly shattered. But here's the best part: My strength totally reset! Tonight at the dojo, the Horse Stance was super relaxed and effortless. Unbelievable how the effort paid off!

I just have to say, after 4 years of Andre, there's not a single thing this guy can't fix. I'm incredibly grateful I met him so many years ago. I have a spinal fusion in L4-L5. When you are an athlete for life and they tell you at 19 you will never play a contact sport again, or that you aren't supposed to even vacuum your house that hits. I got told I would be back with in 10 years for another. Long story short...it's been 22 years since surgery. My disc is finally starting to go but I'm fighting it and GGBB is helping! I was at an intense training last weekend when during switch kick drills I had pain shoot down my leg. I stepped to the side, worked some GGBB for 5 minutes and I was back on the mats with zero problems the rest of the day!! Anywho, just needed to say thank you to Andre for sharing his amazing knowledge with the rest of us and helping give me and so many others a better life😊💪

Wherever you are from, whatever you celebrate, and whoever you are, I’m grateful for your support and presence. Thank you for making this training space relevant and full of thriving growth results. Your interactions help me bring greater value to you, and in turn grows me an entirely different and necessary way. Blessings!
