since its been requested. i guess each day i will try and post a little info and a couple of pictures of a certian martial art or technique. there is such a wide range of styles that can be practiced.



About the horse stance; this stance is compared to a horse because of course, horses have strong legs. this creates a foundation for the balanced tower that is your body. without a foundation, then you could easily be knocked off your feet, and be unable to practice alot of martial arts techniques. stretching and practicing the horse stance is a good place to start.
Remember you will need balance, flexibility and a strong foundation.
Give it a try, but start small so you don't strain your body.

Its been so long since I trained and practiced the whole martial arts thing. So this morning I had to just start from scratch....
that being said, I made myself a short little routine that will gradually increase in intensity and length as soon as the weather comes around. I started with a little horse stance, then some push-ups and sit-ups. After that, I ran suicides since I'm not really a big fan of the whole running repetitive long distances. After that I just practiced some basic forms and what not.
If your trying to bulk up and are into a martial art based more on power, then you might want to throw a couple weights in there. I, on the other hand, am trying to gain control of my body at its current weight, so I am trying not to build up much more muscle. Feel free to mention some of your own exercises and training techniques in your comments.
