Standing Quad Stretch for Martial Arts Students

This page provides details for the Standing Quad Stretch. This stretch is used by martial arts students in order to loosen their quad muscles. Students also use this stretch to improve their balance (as they are standing on one leg during this stretch). If you have trouble with this one legged stretch, you should try the Prone Quad Stretch.

All stretches should be supervised by a trained instructor in order to prevent injuries and 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.
