Goju_boi Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 If anybody saw the XMA special on the discovery channel can u explain wut they were talking about when they said that the skeletal system of us martial artist is different than regular people?I heard it but I couldn't turn up the television since I was at someone elses house. https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu
aefibird Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 I didn't watch it, but all I can think that they mean is that the skeleton of MAists is stronger because of the exercise. Impact excercise builds stronger bones. One of the things that women (who have a higher risk of osteoporosis than men) should do is jump up and down each day. I can't remember off-hand how many times - I think it's about 20 times a day. It's supposed to help build stronger bones which cuts the risk of osteoporosis and other bone diseases.

Mr. Mike Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 yup...jump rope...almost every doctor reccomends it. When a man's fortunate time comes, he meets a good friend;When a man has lost his luck, he meets a beautiful woman.-anonymous

cjburns77 Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 I think the calcium deposits are from the rebuilding of bone.. This is a direct result from the impact and shock that the bone recieves from training...I also enjoyed that XMA show on the discovery channel... I will live my life at level 10...

cathal Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 Think of bone as a tissue of the body, like skin. It really is just that, and is porous and actually moveable. Albeit much less because of its density and makeup.When you punch something very hard, or get hit and the bone is damaged, or bruised, or broken, our bodies rebuild it. Since our bodies adapt extremely well to such events the bone is built denser and stronger. This is our natural atempt at adapting to the environment in case this happens again.So now after the bone tissue is rebuilt its more capable of taking a hit like it did before, and can act as better protection to our limbs and internal organs. Its also one of the factors from the old axiom whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu

So do u think punching my punching bag bare fisted will help me start that process?Or should I just start hitting hard stuff all the time? https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu
kenpo_fighter Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 striking your punching bag will help build callis's on your knuckles and risk injury to your wrists. i read in bruce lee's fighting method manuals, an effective way of "body conditioning". take a regular pail, fill it with sand, not dirt. and begin punching the sand. eventually, you build up to posting a 2x4 in the ground, wrapping the top part in rope and begin using harder strikes and build up the bones in your hands and knuckles. same practices can done on your shins as well.Think of bone as a tissue of the body, like skin.

To fight wisely is to rightly apply techniques.
cathal Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 If you are going to be punching something make sure it has a little give. If it is too hard you'll do undue damage and possibly deform your knuckles. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu
