Now if only this forum had 100 kickchicks

Hmm, any others one that are good? I am looking specifically for what Karate Students would do in Ancient Times.

10 seconds :|

Personally i figure.. the more you punch the harder you hit. I could be wrong though

One more Haha, just curious, what if it feels more like a workout then a stretch?

My sensei is also a World Amateur Muay Thai champion, so maybe some of it will rub off eh? /me wanders around killing things... wait no!

Well, the Dojo here where I signed up teaches White-Yellow-Orange and then everything else together. I couldn't tell you much because I'm not an expert on the matter, but, in the long run in Goju, everything goes back to the basics, so your never to advanced for the other belts. And you can also offer your advice to the lower ranks. I don't know my thoughts at least

Feel free to delete this thread.. the link didnt work for me for some reason...

I CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE!!

Hurrah! Thank you so much Kick Chick you've been helpful, but as always I have more questions to ask. When you speak of your workout, you do just mean going to Class and Doing the Martial Arts correct? Or is there another way you can workout for karate etc. on your own ? If so enlighten me! I want to know So I catch the drift that if I do dynamic stretches in the morning, I should be doing some jumping jacks or something similar to get the blood flowing, then proceed with some arm circles, and legraises and some other ones? Which type of dynamic stretches do you lead your TKD class in ? Leg raises, Arm circles, trunk rotations and such ? And when you speak of getting the joints lubricated, I do this just by, moving my fingers and elbows and shoulders and trunk, etc. ? Thank you for answering all the questions, and I hope I'm not being to much of a pain in the butt

Also, you're not supposed to warm up before doing dynamic stretches correct ?

Ahhh the wonders of being canadian First off before everyone jumps to all those conclusions, Whats your Height? Weight ? Water Intake? Nutrition ? Fitness? If your tremendously fit and not overweight for your age, Id just keep an eye on it, if you are overweight and kind of out of shape, I'd recommend going to see a doctor. If your parents are telling you its a waste of money for your health, then you need to knock some sense into them.

And those are the only dynamic stretches you usually do ? Also, since I'm only a white belt in karate, I usually don't know what's going to be going on in the class, so I can't be specific in the stretches I do.

So for, legs I: Raise my leg as high as i can, while keeping it locked but not totally straight, lean forward a tad, and slowly increase velocity / height at which i do ? 12 reps of how many sets would you say? Per exercise ? Thank you again !

I'm refering to this: http://www.fightingarts.com/content00/graphics/yokohand.jpg and this part of the article: http://www.fightingarts.com/reading/article.php?id=16

Heh, yes lot's more, still confused about the touching your hand to your foot... how do you do this with your knees locked?

Thank you Kick Chick But I am still a little confused I did read the Kurz article, but, I was lost as to what kind of dynamic stretches there are? Regarding Leg raises, when he said to raise your foot to your palm, my leg is really bent when I do this, am I doing it right? How far should I go up and how bent should the Leg be? Thank you

I cant find a brand name, its just "Bushido Martial Arts Supplies"

Also, I tried reading the web page about stretching, but I became lost. What kind of routine should I follow to get to be able to do splits?

Thank you all for your help, it's been uselful

Hoping this forum will help me improve quicker(but not to quick;) ) , now if only someone would look at my thread in the health and fitness forum!!!!
