Is it even possible to do a complete sideways split as an adult?

Asked by hosa (186points) January 23rd, 2019

So i want to be able to make splits for martial arts, and i spent years training and stretching to reach a complete split but its like my pelvic joints wont let me (i reached the maximum limit for it, -and it hurts).
So from a technical/medical point of view is it possible?

I have a friend who can do it and she is in her 60s, so yes.

But maybe, she started as a young child, so if she did it then, then she would be able to do it now. As for myself I didnt do splits as a child. All the people I know that do it started very young.

SURE it’s possible. You may not ever get up and/or walk again, but IT CAN BE DONE!

Quit doing martial arts, start doing yoga. You’ll be amazed what your limbs can do.

Of course. Just start doing in a couple of times a day, stretching a tiny bit further every time.
