@@carlosmunoz4437 yes! it’s a great movement to help with your flexibility ☺️

@@ginaturner9660 muchas Gracias Eres muy amable

@@kamac1 I hope this helps!

@@alexmacias239 keep back flat on the ground and watch your core light up!

i hope this helps!

@@aaronsmith2719 agreed! i just wanted this angle so people can see what my feet were doing since i didn’t want to film from the angle with my hips on the wall

@@ginaturner9660 ok but why film doing it wrong? Thats silly

I love this! Thank you for sharing ☺️ It’ll take time but I know you got this. Just keep working on it 🙌🏼

Hi gina am slowly making progress with my front splits, any tips or advice would be great ?

Hey Alex! I actually have a video filmed for front splits that I recommend ☺️

Hi gina That's great where abouts do I find it??

look through my videos or you can type in Gina Turner Front Splits in the search bar

Hi Alex! I would recommend checking out my “how to throw effective kicks” video! Enjoy and have fun learning ☺️

Hi gina Thanks for sharing this for me, I've just watched it and what a great video, really well explained, would a knee to the groin be effective if I'm held close in by an attacker? Hopefully soon I can enrol on a self defence course.

Hey Alex, if you were really close with an attacker then it wouldn’t be the best choice however if there is some space then you can try it! i think it really depends on the situation and where you’re placed with your opponent ... if you don’t have to room to knee with power then why throw it?

Cool, well I would certainly try and throw a punch, but if I was a little distance away then I would definitely knee to the groin for maximum impact to disable my attacker, any other tips or advice you can give would be great

What you mentioned is perfect! Just be aware of where you are in that specific situation and make sure you have distance between you two

Great question! If you were in front of someone who was bigger then you, why would you aim at the head when you can’t reach it? Wouldn’t you try to aim somewhere else that’s reachable and be more effective? The point is to get in and out. Not to do something fancy when it’s not in your favor. But to answer your question, just aim somewhere else.

@@ginaturner9660 oh I meant if they did a kick. How would you counter thier high kick? I can send a video of my kick in question if it makes it more clear the type of kick I'm talking about!

Oh! I read the question wrong...well if you’re in a sparring match and your opponent is going for a head kick, i would block it by putting arms to the side of my head that is being kicked. If i was in a street match, i would just back up because a lot of people will not be throwing a head kick in that type of match because it isn’t efficient

@@ginaturner9660 is there an email i can send the kick? itd be cool to get your opinion on it as i dont see a video for it on youtube! my email is tajjat624@gmail

@@lordvishnu7438 there are a million videos of people defending head kicks man.... not that hard to find. anyone throwing a head kick in a street fight or an attack against a woman is an idiot.

That question is answered in this video ;)

I doubt an assault from a boy would be that serious. How old are you btw? Now if a man tried to abduct you, then kick him under the groin as hard as you can. He will fall down in agony, and may be rendered unconscious.

good for you and having that krav maga experience!

@@ginaturner9660 have you seen a solid kick get through a guys cup?

Amanda A yes i have. but amanda, this isn’t something that you’ll be thinking about if you were in a street fight because men don’t wear cups just because

@@ginaturner9660 Yeah that's true. I was just thinking about it more in my Krav competitions and how the move can be effective against a cup

Amanda A ahhh i see...that does make more sense. I wish you luck in your future competitions!

check out my video on kicking and you’ll get your answer there ☺️

Awh!! I'm so glad you enjoyed this video!! with everything being shared right now, I wanted to create a video that incorporated a lot of the misconceptions in one video! that way my viewers can get a little bit of everything and they will have some foundation if they chose to go out and do some more research! ooo seems like you enjoyed the self defense videos!! I'll try and get creative with them and i still need to upload my new yoga video for you :D

That is definitely true. People want quick fixes but with these quick fixes, they aren't learning sustainable and healthy habits to allow these results to be long-lasting. Thank you for the compliment, I appreciate it :)

thank you 😊

thank you Simon! I actually love your idea!! however, i don’t have someone to work with, would you still be interested in a video where it’s just me but trying to showcase the movements without a partner?

@@ginaturner9660 well it would of course be a lot better if you had someone to work with but in your own words it is better to know a little than to know nothing so if you don't belive you can get a partner in the near future I think it woul be good if you did that video on your own. If you find someone in the future that could be episode 6 "how to train selfdefence with a friend" :)

okay thank you for your honesty ☺️ i’ll definitely try and put together a video showcasing this to the best of my ability!

Looking forward to it :)

I hope you are enjoying yourself in Missouri right now 💛 that’s another positive way to think about it for sure! use this time to focus on other areas of fitness to create a well rounded program 🤗 I hope you are feeling well too girlie!

i know 😂 she’s the funniest

I'm glad that you like the phrase I used! I think it is valuable information for any area of life. I really think that is the best way to showcase the moves is with a partner. I just have to find someone now who is willing to be in the video with me :)

Thank you Simon! I appreciate it a lot. Hopefully, I am able to film some more videos for this series soon!

you’re so sweet thank you ☺️

thanks :)

thanks for the love :)

thanks :)

awh Emily! I feel ya! There is so much to do but how do you know what is effective? How do you know what combinations to throw? That's how I decided with this video, because someone brought it up to my attention about this! Really?! I don't usually hear that about hooks, so I'm glad hooks have a fan!!

why thank you!

Thank you :)

thanks for the compliment! in my opinion, do what you have to do to get out of that fight. the only thing about hitting in that area is if you miss or not hit hard enough, you might be in some trouble... but if you are able to make contact, great! Just make sure to quickly leave afterward

awh that’s fun! i’m glad your taking it :) i’ve never heard of that before :o in my opinion, there is no proper technique when it comes to eyes or groin...when you’re in a fight, you’re doing what you can to those two areas and if you are close enough to be attacking the eyes, i would aim towards a different target... as for the groin, it depends how hard you hit because everyone has different tolerance level but make sure you’re subscribed for future videos where i’ll touch on these ... thank you for your input by the way!

I'm so glad you find it helpful! I am very stoked to share more. I know this video was more talky, so that means the next video will be more "action pact" !!

Let me know how it goes! I have some more yoga flows on my channel that are beginner friendly! If you are looking for some inspo on workouts, I share a few on my ig @stuffginadoes :) enjoy and keep flowing !

Lexi is the best guest btw :)

omg emily this is so sweet 😭💛 thank you!! i wanted to make a short but appropriate length yoga flow that touched on the major body parts! but allowed you to have enough time to really feel the stretch :) so thank you for noticing !!

awh hahaha 😂 thank you!! today she just didn’t want to sit still 🙈

Thank you girlie! The brand is Incline and I bought it from Amazon. I did buy it a couple of years ago, so I don't know if they have that pattern.

I just checked on Amazon and didn't see the brand Incline. However, if you type in leaf yoga mats, they will show mats that have a similar design to mine!

@@ginaturner9660 You are fantastic! Thank you!

me to claire!! cat/cow is so underrated ... I'll keep adding more of them into my flows !

i’m glad you enjoyed it 💛

Awh girlie I'm glad you found my channel!! Feel to keep me updated with your progress!! Have fun and please be safe <3

Gina Turner thank you! I’m so excited to try!

awh thanks girlie!

thank you claire !! let me know if you give it a try!
