List of Chest Stretches

Here are details on a wide variety of chest stretches. Martial arts students use these stretches to warm up their muscles, improve their overall flexibility and reduce the potential for some injuries (i.e. strained pectoral muscles). Most martial artists use chest stretches as part of an overall stretching routine that they perform before and after their martial arts training.

All stretches should be supervised by a trained martial arts instructor in order to ensure the proper technique is utilized. For additional martial arts stretches targeting other areas of the body, please visit the main Martial Arts Stretches page.
