Karate Conditioning: Dadbods and six packs

http://karateconditioning.blogspot.com/2015/05/dadbods-and-six-packs.html

A blog about training in a traditional karate system using modern methods: High intensity interval training, kettlebells, dynamic stretching, intermittent fasting, paleolithic eating, and not wearing shoes. Thursday, May 21, 2015. Dadbods and six packs. Which is, as far as I can tell, just a catchphrase for people suddenly marveling at the fact that a chubby Leonardo DiCaprio can convince models to have sex with him despite being, well, chubby. I'm not looking for sympathy here, my desire for a six pack ...

A blog about training in a traditional karate system using modern methods: High intensity interval training, kettlebells, dynamic stretching, intermittent fasting, paleolithic eating, and not wearing shoes. Tuesday, September 17, 2013. An Open Letter to Gluten-Free Skeptics. I've been noticing, here and there online, a significant backlash against gluten free (GF) diets. And dieters. You may have noticed the same thing - snarky comments like:. Oh, did a doctor diagnose you with celiac? I've been leaner, ...

A blog about training in a traditional karate system using modern methods: High intensity interval training, kettlebells, dynamic stretching, intermittent fasting, paleolithic eating, and not wearing shoes. Wednesday, January 7, 2015. Pain, the nocebo effect, and good instruction. I just listened to a very interesting podcast here. Jives well with things I already knew.

A blog about training in a traditional karate system using modern methods: High intensity interval training, kettlebells, dynamic stretching, intermittent fasting, paleolithic eating, and not wearing shoes. Thursday, May 9, 2013. What to work when there's too little time. It's useful to think sometimes about how much total time you have for training in a typical week and the optimal ways to break down that time into different types of training. For example, imagine someone with about 5 hours. Doing stead...

A blog about training in a traditional karate system using modern methods: High intensity interval training, kettlebells, dynamic stretching, intermittent fasting, paleolithic eating, and not wearing shoes. Tuesday, April 16, 2013. Yes No. What was the question? I'm a big proponent of jiyu kumite, or free fighting. Why? It actually applies at all to self defense, and I suspect.

A blog about training in a traditional karate system using modern methods: High intensity interval training, kettlebells, dynamic stretching, intermittent fasting, paleolithic eating, and not wearing shoes. Friday, November 8, 2013. Why Shang Chi, not Iron Fist, should be the new Marvel TV series.
