I’d think that the huge variety of movement you get in karate is going to be great to hitting the bits that don’t get hit otherwise.

Thrashing up and down for 40 mins really works lots of bits - arms obv but core and even legs too. Certainly different to running! For any cross trainers who like to track that time, not just running miles, we have a thread for that! fetcheveryone.com/forum/tracking-total-training-time-60969/ G

Nellers May 2023 5:51pm, 18 May 2023 40,732 posts	Quote Pin Nellers I've been doing various bits and bobs of "strength" stuff over the last few weeks but mostly lighter weights. This afternoon I've done 5 sets of 5 reps of deadlifts, cleans and Overhead Press building the weight in each set, along with 5 x 5 pull ups. It's the first time i've done a proper strength-focused weights session in a good while.
