To all Sempai or Kohai who experienced in kumite, or not, if you guys have any suggestion or any advice for me such as what should i train? or what kind of exercise can i do to build up my stamina? or any video / u-tube that can help me, please do so ... Yuroshiku Onegaishimasu ..

My 2013 Goals - 3 Days Karate training 2 Days Aikido Training 5th Kyu to 4th Kyu in Aikido 5th Kyu in Aikido .. Gambate!!

sharing is caring .. as they said

maybe u can refer here what type of karate u want to learn ... find the art that suit u The term "karate" refers to an empty-hand striking system that can trace its roots back to Okinawa. Shotokan is known for deep stances and linear, lunging movements. Kyokushin is known for its full-contact sparring, which allows full-powered punches to the body and pull-powered kicks to the legs, body and head. Wado-Ryu is known for combining some jujitsu locks and throws with the stances and strikes of karate. Goju-Ryu is known for close-ranged fighting that includes grasping motions. Isshin-Ryu is known for short, snappy punches and kicks, punching with the thumb-up (vertical) fist position instead of the palm-down (horizontal) fist position, and blocking with the meaty part of the arm, instead of the bone, like most other systems. Shito-Ryu is known for its wide syllabus of kata, or empty-handed, dance-like forms. Uechi-Ryu is similar to Goju-Ryu, but uses more spearing strikes with the fingertips or extended knuckles. Shorin-Ryu is similar to Shotokan, except that it's more upright and uses more "natural" stances.

Tengs all ..
