Oh and also I'm planning on workign out in the back yard, so is there like a way to just like run or walk back and forth in my backyard and still use the basic princable of waht iolair said?

I don't understand the push up part. I can't right now do pushups, because my mucsle to fat ration is way off. I don't know what you mean about an eleveated surface though. Coudln't I also just do those one knee push-ups untill I am able to do a couple real ones?

Well I have 3 months, 2 weeks, and 3 days to get my body conditoned to where I don't pass out the first day of class .. Basicly anyone got any good things they do to enhance endurance. I might need something gradual because at my curent state I work out, uhm zero times a day at all and I need to get that up to karate standards in 3 months. So if anyone could like things like how far I should run or walk everyday. Is biking good? How should I gradually increase the time spent exercising. What would be good starting point at my weight (285, very out of shape) things like that. I really have no expirience in this. This is the first time I've tried to do anything with my weight.

^ What about training at home with like a heavy bag though? Theres only so many nights with classes, I want to do it every night.

What type of traning should I do while I'm still in kyu rank, and away from the dojo. Also which you recomend. Makiwara boards, or a nice heavy bag. I'me leaning towards makiwara because I have no were to hang a bag, and i haven't seen any good free standing ones. I've also heard that training with a makiwara board is dangerous becaue you may think your getting better when you are actually gettting worse.

That sounds bad man. Have you been doing a lot of stretches? Normally I would think of it as double joint, a lot of my joints click when i move them. The ripping thing kind of scares me though, was it like in the muscles or the actually joint?

Well then if your still in the kyu ranks of karate stick one that, once your get to 1st or 2nd dan take the chinese boxing

I don't knwo much about chinese boxing. If you were to take say shotokan karate and shudokan karate. it shouldn't conflict too much. But say you were to take karate and aikido the pirincables of each would contradict each other.

Well there is some very simple instructions I can probably offer you here. first if you don't have them your going to need some composite video jacks(the red yellow and white) and a video out port on your vcr. Then go get the Dazzle Holywood DV Bridge. Read the instruction manual, it shoudl tell you everything you need to do. Once you get it on the computer, if you need help getting it on the net just ask and i'll help out.

^ Hey I never thought of that. Anyway can anyone give me a direct link to a good diet plan, I really don't like to spend time searching on sites I haven't familarized myself with.

Well this morning I tried a carot. I heard somewhere that your tastebuds change every 7 years, so I decided I'd give it a try. The taste was fine, but the problem was the texture. I started chewing it and imidatley I started gagging. I'm going to try and get a diet plan, and just try and suck it up. I can tell you right up front that I am severly overweight for my age, I'm 14 5'8" and 285 pounds.

Before this discussion starts I want to let you in on one thing. There are very few americans that like bush, infact most of them voted for Bush because no one in their right mind would want Gore as president. Secondly you can really judge america for two reasonl. You can say all people from here are like this. It doesn't work that way everyone is different. The second reason is because america is a very diverse nation. We have asians, african americans, hispanics, jews, arabs, muslims things no one has ever heard of pretty much. I think the reason most of the world hates america because the polocy of the goverment we have. We're always so tough on dictators and force sanctions on them an all that. But we ourselves are practicly the dictaor of the world. If it doesn't go our way, we cut off countries from our aid. I think that's one of the reasons everyone hates america. Then there is the religious thing which I could really care less about because it's just as ignorant as the KKK killing black people because of their belifes. Whatever people say about use though, and whatever wrong thing our goverment does(they do a lot by the way) I'm still and American, and a proud one.

Well I really want to get in shape a little before karate. The reason is because I just need to get my body use to working out hard so I can continue to lose weight. The problem is my diet. I don't know why it is but I literally can't eat any vegtable. I don't know why it is either. It's like a fear. The first time I ever tried corn I puked, the first time I ever tried green beans I puked, and I even puked when I tried salad. I'm afraid to even eat any more vegtables because I've made the conclusion that all of them are gonna taste disgusting. Anyway if I ever can eat vegtables, does anyone have a low calorie, high protein diet?

Shudokan mixes both soft and hard princaples in, atleast that's what https://www.usadojo.com said about it.

I know like in july or august foxsportsnet was airing karate tournuments on there. Does anyone know if they will be doing it again.

Has anyone learned how to do this? It seems like a wild concept to me. I want to know if anyone can really use it effecticly.

I'll just go with shudokan and kenpo then. That way I'll be learning at the same school also.

I'm kind of looking forward to learning all of these sooner or later. Do you think it's even possible to learn three martial arts, and those ones at that.

He's not really famous but I have a friend who went on a Televised karate tornument. It was a long time ago. It was when he was 4th dan, he's 6th now.

Trust me the jerks at my school would.

Well ask your brother to get the Dazzle Holywood DV Bridge. It's a very good product, you can hook your vcr up right ot it then plug it into a USB port and get that tape on the computer as a mpg.

Yeah I just want an idea of how long most of you have been in a martial art. Post your style and how long it took to get to your rank.

Kpax, a beatiful mind, the matrix, pulp fiction, those are a few

https://www.usadojo.com , that's a very very good site, it's got practicly every type of style I've ever heard of

Does anyone have any sort of equpiment and there dojo that measures the preasure of the punches/kicks ect? I heard of some guy bragging that when he hits he hits with 786 psi(pouns per square i), and that's crazy. I was just wondering.
