“[Kurz] explains the scientific basis of stretching in agonizing detail. The best parts of the book, however, are the exercise routines. While they are unconventional, they work. [...] Many notable martial artists swear by these methods.”
— Martial Arts Training September 1997

“I'm sure you get messages like this all the time, but I had to write and thank you for the knowledge that you have shared with me. I have bought both Secrets of Stretching and Stretching Scientifically, both of which have given me the knowledge and ability to do a side split. I worked for YEARS and did not get good results until trying your method. I don't know why I waited so long to use what was right at my fingertips! I have followed your instructions to the letter and have made superhuman gains in months. Again, thanks for the high kicks without warm-ups and the ability to do a side split.”
—Raymond Yorek, Mancato, Minnesota
