Preparing for a Real Workout

Rate this Entry
As fun as swinging a sword against bottles, jugs and when available, mats is, physical training is a very important variable when trying to improve. Getting your muscles to do what your mind intends it to do is not always easy. Preparing w/ proper stretching and breathing, a real gameplan in your training regimen and not giving up the minute fatigue sets in is just as important as the technique is. Just my thoughts.

    I always stretch before cutting, using simple yoga streches, and it really helps to get loose and relaxed. I've also learned some breathing techniques from a Tai Chi cat. Breathing is very much so connected to proper form, I think. I sometimes have to remind myself. I used to hold my breath when cutting, which had a very negative impact, to say the least. Excellent post, Rook.
