As a martial artist I believe that if you can’t say something about some, don’t say anything at all. I am not
going to trash anyone, but I would like to share what happened to me a year and a half ago. I am 51 and I
practice tae Kwan do. I like to compete, that’s what I do in my spare time. Any way, my kicks are strong, so
are my punches, but flexibility is where the problem was. I always dreamed of scoring points with kicks to
the head. I also wanted to be able to do a split, but I accepted that fact that at my age I may never achieve it.
One day I was competing in a tournament in New York, and I saw an ad. in a locker room. There was a
seminar after the tournament. The promised to double the flexibility in one evening. I try plenty of those
before, and it was B.S. I decided to try it since; they said that if the flexibility was not doubled, they would give
money back. I had nothing to loose, just 90 minutes of my time. So I stayed for the seminar.
When I paid (a good sum of money) I was given a card to fill out. At the beginning of the seminar, they asked
me to sit on the floor and open the legs, and then they measured the distance between my feet. (It was 59
inches) For the next 75 or so minutes we did different exercises, tons of them. Some of them I did before,
some of them I have never heard of. We did allot of stretches and allot of calisthenics. Finally they asked us
to sit with legs open again. This time the distance between my feet was 66 inches. The flexibility did not
exactly double, but it was better. I never measured the distance before, so I had not idea if I did better than in
my usual Tae kwan do class.
I went home not sure what to think. After all, I did not get a full split. And for me to get more flexibility I need to
practice those exercise on my own. How ever they did not give any hand outs, and I forgot most of the stuff.
Well next 3 days were hell. My legs were so stiff, that I could barely move my legs apart. (37 inches to be
precise, since now I measured it.) The bad thing is, after the stiffness went away, my flexibility did not
increase a bit.
I did not mind the pain, but I don’t like to be cheated. And my money don’t exactly fall on me on the street. I
will hold on to my creed how ever and will not give the name of the person or the tournament that preceded
this B.S. seminar.
Less than six months ago, I was looking things up on line and found. Elastic Steel website. I saw the
pictures of Paul Zaichik doing his thing. Honestly I thought that it is one of those B.S. things. I was just
wondering why the price of the manual was only 22.95. I thought it was total garbage, especially for that
price. It’s hard to blame me, since I tried so much stuff, and it was all in vain. I don’t know why but I bought
manual. I email Paul, and to my surprise he emailed me back. He told me that, I must follow the method the
way it was in a manual. I was not very happy that, it would take me a few months to actually begin to pracise
deep stretches. How ever, I got my son into it and we both decided to do it. To make a long story short, I can
do side split and a front split with both legs in front. I also go to the tournament and score with kicks to the
head, both legs equally.
P.S. now I know why I was able to improve my flexibility slightly at that seminar. It is because they tested us
cold and than warmed us up for over an hour, no wonder we all go more flexible for that instance.
Any way, Paul G-d bless you. And thank you Alex for working out with your old man.

I like the Elasticsteel program. It is diligently put together. I was not force to run around the bush and try to
figure out how to do things. Everything is easy, and right there.

Focusing on stretching, this way getting the splits is rather unique. My favorite part of the book is the
extended length stretching.

As a dancer, I am always concerned for my hips. I know that increasing flexibility, can cause my hips to be
long term injured. I tried many ways of conditioning my hips to prevent injury. I spend years on weight
training, weight machines, yoga, Pilates. Still my hip clicking and pain was getting worst. Now it’s been
about 6 weeks since I been practicing hip turn in and hip turn out, stability circles and extended length
conditioning. My hips are getting stronger and it’s getting to the point where I don’t have to constantly worry
about injuring them.

Hi there, I am a part time sport karate instructor. I am glad that I gave your book a shot. My kid students very
often have problems with control and clarity of the kicks. And almost every other adult student can’t easily
kick to the head. Your book gave me a powerful arsenal of tips and techniques that I now use. Thank you
very much.

After a month of kick specific training, the power of my kicks have improved. Plus I can kick with the total
control of my hands and my torso.

Training with Elasticsteel program proved to me that if you train right, you can quickly notice steady results.

I feel that my stretches have helped me more then improve flexibility. I used to get frequent back pain. By
making my hips and buttocks looser, I rarely get the pain. When it so happens that I get it, it takes a 2-3 days
for it to go away and not weeks.

If I would have found this website earlier my flexibility training would have been different and safer. Better
late than never.

I am a H.S. student. Every time we had a unit on training with weights I would bulk up, than we play soccer
or rugby and I got skinny again. This year I am using the G A calisthenics exercises and they keep me
pumped up and bulky.

When I first tried Gravity advantage I learned just how much out of balance my muscles are. I totally trust this
program, because it works to balance the strength in the body.

As a kid I used to do push ups every night. That’s all my friends used to do. Pual Zaichik’s book is great,
because it has a lot of body-weight resistance exercises, even targeting specific muscles.
William S. Hanes

Back when I ordered this book I was worried that it will be another glorified push-ups/burpies/dips/pull-ups
variation. I was happy to be wrong. Gravity advantage has opened my eyes to many interesting body weight
exercises that exist out there.
