Super Joints - DVD

The "Super Joints" by Pavel Tsatsouline was excellent. After 30 years of practicing and teaching martial arts (Uechi/Shohei Ryu, and Ju Jitsu), and the natural "break down" of the joints with age, the "Super Joints" has helped to restore the flexibility and strength of my joints especially an arthritic shoulder. I have incorporated the "Super Joints" into my Russian kettlebell and functional training workouts.

I enjoyed this video, as well as the other videos that Pavel presents. Although they seem short in length, Pavel shows you the essentials. Sometimes what is most important such as joint conditioning, is often the most basic in nature.

Do the recommended exercises and get Pavelized!!!
Thats an Order!!! And watch Rambo III. Its required viewing!!!

I now stretch 3 times a week and I follow this dvd. It's perfect for martial artists who are over 30 like myself. I started Capoeira at age 31 and with all the movements we do, I needed a good stretching dvd that was modified for older joints and this is the one.

At 37 years of age, my joints had already been cracking and hurting in the morning. I sustained an injury parachuting in the Air Force in 1989 and since, have had many back pains. I ordered Super Joints figuring it would be good, as all of Pavel's dvd's and books have been excellent. The first day I went through the dvd and did all the joint mobility drills. I felt better that day and over the course of the following week noticed that in the morning, my back wasn't as stiff and my elbows didn't hurt. I would highly recommend this dvd to anyone that cares about their joints.

Super joints has been the perfect compliment to my kettlebell training. Residual tensions I developed over the last year of strength training have disappeared after my first day using SJ. The wind mill, and belly dancing alone were worth the price of the video. I also enjoyed the simple and precise explanations of the exercises. Pavel is truly a great fitness teacher.

I have researched a lot of DVD's and the ones that keep your joints healty are few and far between. (I am a 65 year old librarian/exercise video enthusiast.) In fact, I have found only two others. I very much like the two other I found, but like Pavel's the best. It gets every joint and does it in a minimal amount of time. I am very happy I found it!

It was much time I did shoulder dislocate with a broomstick with the result my minimum distance between hands was 90 cm.,after reading this book I started doing this exercise in the correct way and in 6 months I arrived at 75 cm.Consequence now I can duble snatch with kettlebells and back jerk with barrel easyer

For 25 years, I have been unable to do any kind of chest press because of an impingement in my left shoulder, which always led to pain the day after doing any kind of pressing.

3 weeks of daily practicing of all the shoulder joint mobility drills in Super Joints (along with careful observation of 'healthy shoulder' pressing techniques learned on the DragonDoor fitness forum) ... and I was able to bench 5X5 55lb dumbbells last week totally pain free! Pain free after 25 years is truly great stuff.

I'd love to achieve the same type of hip mobility improvements.

I really enjoyed the "Super Joints" DVD. I have suffered from
chronic low back pain for years without relief. Putting the
exercises into my daily rountine has dramatically reduced my
back pain and provided some long overdue relief from near constant
pain.

As a 54 year old who just refuses to give up on martial arts, lifting and the entire lifestyle, this was really a great addition to my "keep the parts moving" arsenal. Some of these movements I recognized from Yoga, but many were at least a new twist (no pun intended) on things that have added quite a bit to my stretching and joint maitenence efforts. I very strongly recommend it.
