Now that you mentioned it does make sense why I seldom see MA fighters go full time body building, or having too much specific muscle strength in sports can risk injuring or pulling other muscle groups from what my PE teacher taught me. Btw which martial arts did you practice and teach in Blazor? I always wanted to learn Aikido when I was a kid but just didn't had enough time and lack the discipline, maybe if I wasn't bombarded with so much homework, swim practice, after school tutoring, piano lessons and having to risk sacrificing my remaining precious video game time, lol.:001_tongue:
Yup, bulk = slow, tone = quick. Thats why I prefer tone over mass. I might be small framed, but Im like a Ninja! lolol
Ha! The kind I took was a combo of Akido, Jiujitsu and karate. The specific style I took was Kuniba-kai Shitō-ryū, and the international organization name was Seishin-kai.
I took it from the age of 9 or 10 til I was 17. Never made it to black belt, but the belt right before it, brown. They wouldnt advance me for some reason, maybe cause I was a minor. But they told me once I became black I legally had to register myself. Cause then my hands are considered a deadly weapon. Stupid law I know. Anyway, my sensei moved to South Carolina, myself and one other brown belt was left teaching the class. He quit coming, and eventually my life became too hectic to continue teaching as well. WISH I had continued. At that time I was the senior high representative of my church, a junior police cadet and taught the officers karate, was in school, worked full time, and had a gf (and played video games too lol). I had to give some things up lol. (hindsight I wish I had gave up that gf at the time lol). I never did see my instructor again, and that style is taught no where near by.
Here is a wiki link I just found that explains it some...
