Shotokan_Fighter Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 have aby of you guys ever trained in water?? i have i go down to the lake by my house in a old gi and belt and train in water about shoulder high. I like it beacuse of the natural resistance it is hard but very effective, you really learn balance, punches are harder and faster and same for you kicks also "When I fight, I fight with my heart,and soul. My heart, and soul is Shotokan Karate."Shotokan_fighters creed"karate has to come natural in a fight, if you have to think about using karate in a fight, you will loose the fight"3rd kyu brown belt - shotokan karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaiFightsMS Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Training in water is a different experience. For those of us who are not exactly as mobile as others it is a good place to experiment with new kicking techniques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBN Doug Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Not as regular training, but I have once in a while. I do like the resistance, especially for speed training. Kuk Sool Won - 4th danEvil triumphs when good men do nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karatekid1975 Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 Ooops. That was a little confusing, wasn't it Sub LOL. I tried to say that I love body surfing, but I never worked out (forms, kicks and stuff) in the water. It's worth a try, though. Better, Sub?
