Neck Stretches for Martial Arts Students

Here are a variety of neck stretches used by martial arts students. Martial arts students in Judo, Wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu do a lot of neck stretches because these martial arts involve a significant amount of grappling and/or ground fighting.

All stretches and exercises should be supervised by a trained martial arts instructor in order to prevent injuries and to ensure the proper technique is utilized. If you have had an injury or are in pain, please see a doctor before starting any stretching or exercise program.
