Answer:
Since martial arts involve movements and techniques that engage almost every part of our body, we need to stretch our muscles and joints to improve our flexibility, mobility, and range of motion. Therefore, we stretch our:
1. legs (quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, hips)
2. arms (biceps, triceps, forearms)
3. back (upper, mid, lower)
4. chest (pectoral muscles)
5. shoulders (rotator cuff, deltoids)
6. neck (trapezius, levator scapulae, sternocleidomastoid)
7. wrists (flexors, extensors)
8. ankles (dorsiflexors, plantar flexors)
9. groin (adductor muscles)
10. core (abdominals, obliques)
