@lolxldoubledouble It favors smaller people, but I've seen both big and small do well in Uechi Ryu. The term "ripped" is often used incorrectly. Many believe it to be mean big muscles, but physiologically it simply refers to muscle definition, which you can have at any size. This gentleman, Sensei Guchi, is certainly a good example. Watch him do the kata Sanchin, or better yet, "Uechi-ryu hand conditioning 2." He's definitely ripped for a man his size.

To train for this kind of fighting style, does it matter weather you are ripped, or is it better to stay small and toned?
