Fitness

Being fit when going into battle is a very important thing, forinstance if your out numbered you gotta be able to hold your own. Not only with your fist but your whole body working as a hole. leg strenght for jumping, running, kicking, climing. Arms for punching, blocking, climbing. abs/core of the bodie, over all helth, taking hits, good core for endurance. Ect...

Any questions on getting in better shape or if you need a reutine to do, let me know and ill try to help. other comments and questions welcome here. Ill post my work out along with some articals later this week.

Well good luck and keep posting

there are infinate training programs and methods of working out. Each programme and regime must be customised and be specific to the results you want to achieve. The only way to develop a decent, or propper programme, is through interaction with others who know what they are talking about.

Karate is all about beating people who are stronger than you are. If you find a good program, they will teach how to beat multiple attackers.

I've had teachers that were in their 50's and overweight. Trust me, looks are decieving. They could take 10 of the top brown and black belt students and beat them.

You could always become a suicide bomber and walk around saying things like:
"If I go down, EVERYONE DIES!" and run off.

Josh, what was the point of that post.....

Any way, as 3 said Fitness is a big contributer to winning battles if your not an expert in an art or streetfighting. Just remember when working out you need to continue to eat healthy, working out hard without eating healthy or not eating at all will just mess up your body and you wont gain any muscle or endurence, you will accually lose it in the end. any way just leave any questions here and we will all try to help ya.

Ive started a routine recently, or actually restarted after some minor health difficulties. It goes like this
15 pushups (hands at arm width) x3
25 situps x3
25 crunches
5 pullups x2 (only 5 because I dont have a fancy pipe thingy, just a jagged piece of metal).
5 overhand pullups x1
1 leg squats, 3-4 per leg.
Stretching, lots of it. Ive already went through such a routine some time ago and it helped alot, now I added some things to it and raised the number of reps.
BTW, im 16, 6'2 and 143 pounds. Eating as much as I can. No running due to very poor weather.
