Rich_2k3 Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 Is it a good way to keep fit and what muscle groups does it work out? I know for boxers its essential to success. "When my enemy contracts I expand and when he expands I contract" - Bruce Lee
WolverineGuy Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 Skipping, like skipping rope, or skipping like skip to my lou? Wolverine1st Dan - Kalkinodo"Shut up brain, or I'll stab you with a q-tip""There is no spoon."
KarateKid7 Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 yes i believe so...i am no expert but i think it works out the cardio and also builds some fast twitch fibres in your legs (quads and hamstrings...tiptoes so it probably develops the calf muscles too) so your footwork for kumite is greatly enhanced "Life is a journey, not a destination""Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless""Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do"
Practice is the key _ Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 You are right on, everytime my warm ups always start with skipping then strecthing then basics then katas then combinations and others little funs things. Keep up the good work. Somone love oneSomone love twoI love one That one is myself just have been turn down....

Guy_Mendiola Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 Skipping would give you better foot work and good stamina.
Terriator Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 yup...skipping is a great way to envelop stamina Never think that Karate is practiced only in The Dojo. The entire world is a Dojo, and true Karate training takes place twenty-four hours a day./Gichin Funakoshi Sensei
