This Sensei is ripped!

[Johnny08000bcn]

I dont have that muscles, but I still have hair on my head.

[koutsompiskoto]

+by that i mean that the same muscles undergo infinite (ok-use continuous) pressure again+again+.. welcome injury

[koutsompiskoto]

although just a bit of this type of training can be super-beneficial (for quick responses/'exploding' strength) in the long run (and by doing it too much daily-so not only after too much time-but in general) it can cause tremendous problem to your shoulder muscles and your sh. rotatory muscles and that is not fun (having this as a variety though and do it every here and there guess is alright)

For anyone interested, there is a book titled The Power of Hojo Undo by Michael Clarke. It goes over several Okinanwan bodyweight and weighted exercise techniques that can, with a little imagination, can be integrated into any karateka's workout.

I have a lot of respect to Uechi-Ryu. But there are also many other traditional martial arts that have stayed in the traditional form... It is difficult hold a dojo with more than 10-15 students if you will teach only hard core techniques... But you save the difficult hard stuff to serious trainers... And good students do a lot of old Scholl stone hitting and body conditioning.

@BizarreWorks Problem with that philosophy is that his conditioning is more than likely able to withstand a bazooka. I'm only SLIGHTLY sarcastic here. Uechi-ryu conditioning is some of the most hard core in the world.

I use strap-on wrist weights during my patterns/technique drill practice sessions. It builds muscle memory for perfect technique faster as well as strengthens the muscles used to actually complete it with power. Techniques that require a great deal of precision can be learned in a fraction of the time it would take to learn it through regular repetition.

Thanks for posting Sensei.

I normally frown on any "traditional arts" but I think that Uechi-ryu is one art that hasn't sold out to the masses. I have much respect for everything that I see it's practitioners doing.
