@neo19dude Sir this is the thrue spirit of Karate, train your min, soul, body., and respect others.

@afromnkydude No, Karate was never intended to be a sport. But after World War II there was a dramatic change in the martial arts. Japan abandoned warfare and many styles became sport-orinented(like the Japan Karate Association) while others remained combat-oriented. It all depends on which school you go to. Goju Ryu, Isshin Ryu, Kyokushin, and the Shotokai school of Shotokan Karate remain true to thier combat roots.

@kiddynamo4 they look to be about 20kgs

[kiddynamo41]

i've always wondered how heavy those stone weights are. does anyone know?

[faron27]

the reason so many MMA fighter get hurt is because they do not train like this! your hands must be like knifes your toes like arrows your mind empty.

the dux ryu style remains my style of choice and is a very interesting style

@corvanjer Uuuh, no, it isn't, whilst sinking into a sumo or horse stance is better than an MT or KB stance, catching one on the lurch is an almost guaranteed shoot or throw, most Karateka are poo in the clinch, and almost none can sprawl.

If you can grapple, your opponent can't, and he isn't twice as large, you can almost always get a TD, you might not get a great position, but unless they can grapple on the ground that's immaterial.

@MrBoneStripper98 It's incredibly hard to takedown a stand-up karate practitioner, incredibly hard.

@filmfan555 Completely depends on the training. BodyBuilders gain strength through intense workouts done a few times a week, and they use weights most of the time. Karate, for example, is done daily and it uses the body's weight, like push ups, in an endurance type of way, like holding a stance, holding jars, and slow/controlled movements. The strength every B-B and Martial Artist from every style gains is entirely dependant on what they want, so you cant simply compare strength like that lol

[filmfan555]

thx for the answers, yes you might be right,havent thought about that but in that case they should be stronger (i actually believe it, because i believe in the strentgh of martial arts, especially in karate, cause i do it by myself) than any bodybuilder with fat muslces shouldnt they?

[pro0913]

@filmfan555 The reason they look like that is because 1) they are a bit old, so they will stop developing muscles and go through a whole body transformation (younger martial artists might exhibit a more defined body) and 2) Real Martial Arts training is mostly endurace-based, and its done daily. This sort of daily, endurance training doesn't allow the muscles to grow in size as they are constantly broken down. If you look at bodybuilders, their training is weekly but very intense- very different

@filmfan555 i dont think they run much, so they arent defined. like how power lifters are huge and not defined . this is like stregnth and endurance traing
