30 MINUTE KARATE CLASS
VIDEO
(please view my instructional
video's before starting class)
DISCLAIMER:
This is a real Karate class teaching basic self-defense movement
including stretching, stances, punching and blocking.
Never practice these movements on anyone. Review
all stretching & exercise movements with your doctor or
physical therapist before taking my class. By viewing this video you agree to
accept all responsibility for your movement and any injuries
your movement might cause. Karate is not to be
played with like a toy, but an art to be studied. |
I created this 30 minute
modified Karate class for my own weekly training. I'm an older retired
Sensei that would like to share and help others stay in
shape as we age. I'm now over 55 with some
physical limitations, & no longer attend training
at a Dojo. I'm not as flexible,
strong or fast as I was in my 40's. I'm older and
wiser and still need to keep
active and continue my weekly training. And I want
to encourage others with physical limitations to continue your training as we age,
and to help work through injuries that occasionally
happen. My Box-KarateTM
class was created to be practiced in a 9'x9'
space. For those of you that like my class and
have a larger space to train, I recommend replacing my Box-KataTM
with Traditional Kata movement. This Box-KarateTM
class shows slow and medium speed movement. If you
are recovering from an injury, are out of shape or have
other physical limitations, I recommend doing all
movements in a very slow speed with less repetitions for
about two months and gradually work your way up to a
slow speed and then to a mix of slow & medium
speed movements. My movement is only a guide, and
you should modify these movements to best suite your
abilities and limitations. My movement is unique
to me, and your movement is unique to you. Find
your own movement and feel each move. My goal is
to help you stay flexible, have strong legs, strong back, strong core
and strong memory as we age. We only compete with ourselves
as we age, always trying to improve our movement. Keep watering your mind and body and
you will grow and feel good! |
