Karate is a martial art that requires a lot of both physical strength and mental strength in the process of grueling training. Karate originated in China. There are two ways to learn karate. The first is to start doing it yourself at home (if, of course, the dimensions of the apartment allow you). And the second, more literate and sensible one, which is chosen by most of those who wish, is to sign up for a section where an experienced coach will help in everything.
Instructions
Step 1
If you decide to master this kind of martial art at home, then, first of all, you need to start by preparing your body with the help of special techniques and physical exercises. These exercises may include:
- exercises aimed directly at strength training;
- exercises aimed at developing endurance and willpower, which will be very useful to you when studying this type of martial art;
- exercises aimed at developing flexibility in your body, which are probably the most important of all of the above.
Step 2
To begin with, when preparing at home, you will need a specially equipped room, the so-called "home gym", where you will practice strikes and techniques used in karate.
Step 3
The gym must be equipped with a minimum: a horizontal bar, a "pear", mats and other systems and equipment that will help you succeed in learning this difficult skill most quickly. The most acute issue in the study of karate for a beginner is the issue of body flexibility (since the techniques and strikes used in this sport are very traumatic, and a beginner who does not have a sufficient level of stretching of muscles and ligaments can injure himself).
Step 4
This problem is corrected by the constant use of special types of exercises during training, aimed at stretching the fossilized muscles and ligaments, preparing them for "extreme" movements that are performed during impacts.
Thus, if you want to master the techniques of karate, then preparation directly for this type of art can be carried out at home, but as far as strikes and various techniques are concerned, it is better to turn to a professional trainer. At least it will be safer than doing it at home alone.
