Do you want to develop your technique both standing and on the ground? Then develop your flexibility. Static and dynamic stretching should be included in every training session because your range of motion determines the range of possibilities for executing technique. Thus the greater your range of motion the greater the technical options. A fierce leg kick often causes an opponent to drop their hands to defend and creates an opening for a head kick but only if one has the ability to kick to the head. The examples are endless and obvious yet flexibility training is an oft-neglected part of the total training picture. Why? Well it is time consuming, if not done properly it is painful and you clock your progress with a calendar---these are the reasons most fail to properly develop their range of motion. If you are more concerned with active recovery, injury prevention and increased range of motion then do not fall prey to these worthless and weak excuses!
Stretch your limits.
