OleOle Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Is karate too tough for me? i'm 16, overweight and very unfit. I'd like to join my friends in karate classes mainly to learn more discipline. Will karate classes be too tough for me?Karate will not be "too tough" for you. It will just be 'tough enough'. You want it to be tough enough as that's what you'll need to get slowly into shape. I'm about two and half times your age, I've flown a desk for the last twenty years without any exercise and I will be losing 38 kilos (83 pounds) over the next six to twelve months with karate. In the last five weeks going to dojo twice a week and doing a bike run of about ten miles once or twice a week I've already lost six kilos (13 pounds). Drink as much water as you can, cut down a little on the size of meals you eat and don't eat anything after 9pm.I'm brand new to karate and what I can say is that if you like the idea of karate, then you will love karate, so sign up, put positive energy into it and you'll see a transformation in yourself in no time at all. You'll be so happy you did. Go for it! "You must first have the knowledge of your power, second, the courage to dare, third, the faith to do."Charles Haneel, Master Key System, 1912.
