Hi, I'm Donavan Barrett. I'm a martial arts & flexibility coach, entrepreneur, and full time student studying at USF to become a Mental Health Counselor. On this channel you'll see lots of vlogs related to business, healthy eating, exercising, and mental health. It's my goal to inspire people, through example, to always go after whatever it is that they want...even if it's scary.
I recently started a series called "The Comeback Diaries" which is all about how I'm getting back in my best physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual shape. I'd love to have you be part of the journey!

Hi Donovan! Great videos. I have to do a roundhouse to head level for my blue belt in TKD. I can only kick at a 90 degree level now. I’m 46, and have scoliosis, and am wondering what I need to do to reach my goal. I have no desire to do full splits, and I’m super flexible with front kicks and ax kicks. But the roundhouse continues to elude me. Can you recommend a video to watch to help me? Thank you!
I don't care that this video is 3 years old I gotta say this. There are true martial artist then there's this. In no way in any self respecting gym should this ever be considered acceptable for a 5TH DAN!! I do not know what kind of Taekwondo this is but it is NOT real Taekwondo. In no way shape or form should a young kid in their 20s EVER hold a 5th dan black belt it makes me want to puke. I have dedicated 12 years of my life to Taekwondo and only have my 1st dan if I displayed a test like this on my 1st dan black belt test my grandmaster would have failed me. Also where the fuck is the sparring? I had to spar five 3 minute rounds against our gyms top kickboxers, yeah not TKD sparring I had to legit fucking fight for my 1st dan because Taekwondo is a martial art not a fucking dance class. I will say you have great flexibility but your form is shit and weak. I pray you never get into a real fight because those kicks couldn't tickle a toddler.
Boa tarde Donavan me ajuda ter uma abertura de pernas zerada faço meus alongamentos mas não consigo zerar por favor passa pra mim algumas coisas blza obrigado pela atenção fica com Deus AMÉM
In the 30 years of being a member of the WTF and USTU and am very knowledgeable in the Arts have never heard the Term Dan pronounced Don. Congrats on the promotion.
Ive been trying these stretches!! Ive noticed I can do leg rises!! I havnt been able to in years!! Is this from stretches or weight loss maybe thanks!!!
Just a heads up. Your sites flexibility course doesn’t work anymore. When you go to purchase it, it goes to teachable and says that it is no available there and to contact the teacher or owner
Thanks! I thought as much... however, I never kick as extreme as u demonstrated your very clear & organized with your presentation! Keep Up the good work ~
Got his 5th dan with no sparring, no self defence, no weapon defence, no two on one sparring, no line work combos, no power breaking other than kicking a thin little balsa wood board. 💪
I think the standing leg knee should always be a bit bend, never locked. If locked the risk of injury gets too high. Just a tiny bit back from lock position is enough to protect the knee, that will automatically flex the supporting muscles and the knee is safe.
Excellent conditioning workout. At 67 my flexibility is shot but this has helped immensely hoping to do black tag grading soon so will be doing this workout before every tkd session. Thanks Donovan
