patusai Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Thank you everyone for your helpful advice, but I have one more question that I'd like to ask: When training at home do you wear your gi (or any other official martial arts uniform), or do you just wear regular work-out clothing?-ProtagonistWhen at home I practice in whatever I am wearing.

Suits, jeans, pajamas, etcThis is a good idea, as you will most likely never have your gi on if you ever have to defend yourself. Practicing in regular clothing helps you to figure out how you can move, and what you can and can't do. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kschilke Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Kata is wonderful, we have many in our system and I practice them daily. If done right, they are a great workout and an excellent way of perfecting technique. I am also lucky that my husband study's martial arts also, so we spar or just work technique. I instruct and can bounch ideas off of him. I do alot of internet surfing, reading, video watching, etc. I learn alot that way also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shui Tora Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 When training at home do you wear your gi (or any otherofficial martial arts uniform), or do you just wear regular work-out clothing? No; I wear my Hakama trousers and my Club t-shirt... My garden is big enough (with good covering from bamboo etc) to do a lot of karate stuff (like katas) so that helps...

AnonymousOne Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 It really depends on what your personal goals are. If you are looking for peak performance then I would recommend you set up a written weekly training programme you have to stick to.Very often in many dojos you primarily concentrate on skills training. This is good but it is NOT enough.You need to develop:Balance skillsAerobic capabilityAnaerobic capabilityStrength SpeedFirst of all get up early and build up to be able to run 4 miles per day in 28 minutes. Once having achieved this you are ready for a greater load.Once you can do this follow afterward with sets of sprints.800 metres then rest one minute600 metres then rest one minute400 metres then rest one minute200 metres then rest one minute2 x 100 metres then rest one minuteOnce you can to that add push ups between sprintsDo the four miler and the above sprints every morning.Do a weight training session twice per week.Do bag work 3 times per week (0ne hour sessions)I would recommend the training manuals of Ross Boxing (https://www.rossboxing.com) for details of setting up weekly training programmesWhat is critical in fighting is having a solid foundation of fitness and strength to build upon. Use the dojo to develop actual fighting skill and when at home concentrate on the above and you wont look back. 7th Dan ChidokaiA true combat warrior has to be hard as nails in mind, body and soul.
