Re: Wrist Hangovers: Your Suggestions And Experience With Wrist Pain?

I was told (don't know if this is true) that the ikkyo-nikkyo-sankyo-kotegaeshi "stretches" that are commonly done as warmups, are really more strengthening exercises than stretches. Anyone know about this?

(every time I see someone, usually a guy, who's new to aikido, straining and groaning his way through these stretches, I wince. It seems counterproductive)
