Stretch your groin to do a scissor split

Stretch your groin to do a scissor split

For lots of martial arts kicks it's necessary to stretch the scissor split.
The scissor split is a groin stretch, similar to the sidesplit.
You will need this kind of flexibility for techniques like the lotus kick or the split-kick.

# Sit down and spread your legs at least 90 degrees.
# Keep your back perfect straight
It doesn't matter if your toes point up or forward.
This depends on the sport you are stretching for.
# There are several exercises you can do when you are in the scissor split.
For example lean to your left or your right foot.
Some scissor split variations are shown in the Flash Mavi animation above.
