Hey guys, I am fit for karate?

I've been asked by several persons on how they can get fit to train in martial arts and my reply is that you don't get fit to train in martial arts, you train in martial arts to get fit.

I have started karate 5 days ago, Sorry for the late reply.

Well said Bushido man any good instructor will be able to transform the techinque for a person of any size and ablility.

I think that this is one of the more challenging and fun aspects of being a teacher.

You sound fit enough to me! But if your really worried just go see your gp for a check-up.

My head sensei (who is training for her 5th dan promotion in the fall) has a bad hip and has survived some pretty bad cancer. i think you'll do fine

Just start training and the fitness will come automatically. Just make sure that you find a good club.
