Karate Blades
how can I lose that last little bit of gut.?
I lift about 4 times a week, karate 3 times, and bike or rollar blade at least once a week. I’m pretty fit and read fitness mags religously but I still cant get that ripped look that I want. I have to much of a bulky look. I want to lose the fat and keep the muscle. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Running can help you burn calories, start a distance running program and you will become thinner, but don’t over do it.
You can also try to incorporate faster paced workouts at the gym, maybe circuit training where you do each of maybe 10 exercises back to back for one set, then rest. It helps to work your heart (cardio > weight loss) while working your muscles.

The Number One Reason You Should Stick With Your Karate Training
There are many reasons that people first get started in the martial arts. Usually the reasons are for self-defense, health and fitness, discipline, confidence, self-control and spiritual growth among others. Most of us have heard about these benefits of the martial arts, yet despite knowing the potential rewards of karate, it is not always clear why we should stay on the path for the long term.
I would like to let you know what I believe is the number one reason for you to continue with your karate practice. Before I do that let me give you a very quick rundown of my own personal karate experience.
I have been practicing the martial arts, specifically traditional Japanese karate, for more than 25 years. Initially my reason for enrolling in my first karate class was to learn self-defense. For the first 6 or 7 years of training my reason for practicing karate was physical strength and fitness.
Then after about 10 years of training (around the time that I was entering the adult world) I began to appreciate the deeper philosophical insights of the martial arts. Later on in my training during my three years in Japan, karate was mostly about perfecting my technique and improving my overall knowledge, Now as an instructor karate is about giving the gift of what I have learned to others.
As you can see my primary reasons for studying karate have changed with time and with my own personal development as a martial artist. However if I were to condense all of my knowledge into one key reason for training then it would be this: Self Discovery.
Everything that I have learned about punching, kicking and blocking; everything I have learned about forms or sparring, pale in comparison to what I have learned about myself in the past 25 years of my karate training. During my training I have experienced the full emotional roller coaster of passed and failed gradings, successful and unsuccessful tournaments, great health and fitness as well as some cuts, bruises, pulled muscles, the odd broken bone and several doses of hurt pride.
I’ve come to realize that just because I know the moves to a kata (form), that I don’t necessarily know the kata. The movements are just the tip of the iceberg. There is so much more to be discovered beneath the surface. Just because I can throw out my hand in front of me doesn’t mean I have a good punch, and just because I have a black belt around my waist doesn’t make me a better person than anybody else.
Karate teaches me humility and constantly challenges me to be better. Karate teaches me self discovery – it helps me to learn about who I am, how I react under pressure and what it is that gets my fire burning.
Over 2000 years ago a Chinese General named Sun Tzu compiled a military strategy that is still read and studied to this day. His strategy is called The Art of War, and in it he writes:
“So it is said that if you know others and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know others but know yourself, you win one and you lose one; if you do not know others and you do not know yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.”
-Sun Tzu, The Art of War, Translated by Thomas Cleary
It would seem that the importance of self discovery is timeless and the martial arts are one such path for discovering your own strengths and weaknesses on your journey to self improvement.

Karate Objects
can I move an object simply using my mind and energy?
Am i able to move an object simply using my mind and enegy?
ive been taking meditation class for a while to become one with my body.now im working on my Shi ! To hardness energy to any part of my body often used in karate!They say ghosts can move objects,but ghosts are only energy not a solid mass like humans
Instead of an opinion I’ll give you a simple test that can also be used for practice in concentration. Use a soup bowl filled with water. Place a wooden toothpick on the surface of the water. Wait until the water and toothpick become still then concentrate on moving the toothpick.
