lordtariel Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Yoga has been great in getting my kicks higher and my legs stronger. I was amazed at how much a good workout can kick your butt. I also practice tai chi for ballance and breathing. There's no place like 127.0.0.1
A_Train Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 I do a bit of running and biking, as well as a cardio boxing workout on the heavybag (without any real boxing training). I have also done yoga a few times to try and increase flexibility. I play a wrestling game online. If you'd like to play follow this linkhttp://www.thewrestlinggame.com/wg.asp?w= 133896
hurricane Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Does anyone know a good yoga or pilates tape? After reading this thread, I think I would like to try that out but I can't spend the money to go to a yoga studio and also would rather do it at home. Any suggestions?
EclecticFighter Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 I do the following everyday at home (well okay, I rest one or two days a week) :- Naked Warrior workout (one-legged squats + one arm pushups)- Janda situps- various exercices for the back, but I am starting to consider the deadlift seriously- gripper for the hands- Makiwara striking (a real traditional one, not the cheap pads sold everywhere)plus I use the forced relaxation technique to increase my split EclecticFighter.com, for all your makiwara & Muk Jong needs!
bushido_man96 Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Not me. I just snowboard in the winter. It is a good workout, though. Good cardio hiking back up a snowy mountian .... sorry folks, that didn't help.Anyways, I was thinking about doing yoga. What do you guys think for someone with a bum hip and knee?It would probably help you out. Just make sure you tell the instructor about your current conditions, so that they can work around them. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
bushido_man96 Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 I can remember reading in an old Black Belt Magazine an article about cross-training martial arts with playing basketball. Improvements in endurance and footwork were discussed, along with some other benefits. I thought it was a good article, and had some unique perspectives to offer. You learn to use your body, keep your feet under you, and move against a resisting opponent. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
jaymac Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 I have recently thought about trying swimming and/or yoga. I know both would greatly increase my performance in karate. I should quit thinking about it and just get out there and do it. Thanks for this post, it made me realize I have been procrastinating too long. A great martial artist is one who is humble and respectful of others.
CTTKDKing Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Does anyone know a good yoga or pilates tape? After reading this thread, I think I would like to try that out but I can't spend the money to go to a yoga studio and also would rather do it at home. Any suggestions?I don't know about yoga, but as far as Pilates I know one of my family member used to use the Windsor Pilates tapes and she loved them. If your looking for a just good all around work out video, my wife got the Turbo Jam dvd's and she loves them. I thought it was kinda a joke when she first got them, but I tries it a few times with her and I have to admit they are a great workout. They are like a aroebic/kickboxing/capowera based cardio kickboxing dvd set. My sister uses them too and likes them a lot. Hope this helps.

I will try to find that pilates tape and see how it goes.
BLueDevil Posted September 28, 2006 Author Posted September 28, 2006 Winsor Pilates really is great, it works to keep you lean. Ive read that the original Pilates helps build your muscles more. I could be wrong but I know he wrote a few books. might look them up... There is no teacher but the enemy.
