ok well you dont need to be cutting or pulling anything.. all it takes is a little time and dedication... you need to make sure you strech everyday for atleast 20min, open your legs facing a wall and push against the wall always try and open a little further each time, aswell as put your heel up as far as possible on a wall or somewhere that you can balance keeping both legs straight try put your head on your knee do this on both legs. these streches pull the main muscles you need for the splits but you need to actually make sure you do not over do it but also push yourself that little extra every time and also strech the rest of your body properly befor attemting to do the splits or kick high.. i promise youlget there!!! it will become easier with timeWhat is the best way to become flexible enough for the splits?
You have proberly heard of plenty of streching exercise, but that aside the thing is to remember to warm-up properly. Think of your muscles as putty or play-dough, if you try to pull it when its cold it will just snap, as like your muscle's... but warm-up properly like you would with the play-dough and your muscle's will strech out with much more eash and discomfut.


Some good warm-up's are jogging/running or dynamic streching as this will warm you for streching and strech your muscle's at the same time, good if your short of time to strech.

Good luck on doing the splits!
Cut all the ligaments in your leg with a sharp piece of glass. Then you should be able to do splits just fine. Or you could get one of those split machines. Or you could just strech em out, try doing horse stance and going wider and lower, when you can't go any more hold it, keep your back straight! Breathe and hold that position as lonng as you can with stability. Once you get a little better try having a partner push down on your shoulders, but don't try to go 2 far at once, cuz you can seriously injure yourself. If you remain dedicated your range should definetly improve. Hope you succeed!
Have a couple friends tie ropes around your legs and pulls your legs apart as hard as they coud until you finally do a split. Oh and you'll need a wood to bites on.
