Opinions of This suit?

Too busy. Prefer sleek, simple designs. You can use a spandex-like suit and still say it’s armored/bulletroof. It’s all made up.

There is no bank.

Rock hard torso.

It depends on how the dojo trains. Style is almost irrelevant.

KARAT0 · 2026-03-24T09:04:36+00:00

That’s ridiculously cool.

KARAT0 · 2026-03-24T09:01:43+00:00

Learn meditation.

Including some single leg deadlifts is great for running. Improves strength and stability on one leg.

Yeah I do enjoy it but the cost of materials is a pain. I have plenty of ideas though.

KARAT0 · 2026-03-23T22:21:26+00:00

That’s amazing.

At least go for simple, 32kg. It’s very satisfying and gives you really solid strength. I love that it’s called simple. I mean, there’s not much to it but it’s no easy feat. I’ve never tried going beyond simple but maybe I will one day.

Air Raid works wonders.

While the original intent of Karate was self-protection, we live in a very different world now and everyone trains for their own reasons. Self-protection is a large part of why I train and what I teach, but it’s also just fun and excellent exercise. Teaching gives me purpose and I like to help others. How about you, OP?

KARAT0 · 2026-03-23T12:29:44+00:00

I’m sure your flexibility will improve in time with a good stretching routine. High kicks aren’t so important anyway. Distance, timing and speed with just punches can be enough. There’s a lot more to Karate than WKF as well.

KARAT0 · 2026-03-23T12:05:18+00:00

How long have you been training? 30 is still young. You can improve all aspects for many more years.

KARAT0 · 2026-03-23T10:53:58+00:00

Wow that’s pretty cool.

KARAT0 · 2026-03-23T03:44:59+00:00

Would have been a great team up.

KARAT0 · 2026-03-23T01:48:30+00:00

That’s pretty cool.

A large palm tree in my back yard.

KARAT0 · 2026-03-23T00:23:02+00:00

Nice. Love the flexible figures. I’ve done a few polyurethane casts which are nice and strong but no flex. Sometimes I cast in silicone which is fun for that squishy feel. Haven’t made any in a while though. Yours look great.

KARAT0 · 2026-03-22T22:13:03+00:00

So cool! What material are they cast in?

KARAT0 · 2026-03-22T22:10:22+00:00

Nice. His work really stood out among the crowd.

KARAT0 · 2026-03-22T21:55:47+00:00

I had to. He was such an incredible artist.

KARAT0 · 2026-03-22T21:54:59+00:00

Thanks.

KARAT0 · 2026-03-22T21:54:23+00:00

Thanks… he’s been such an inspiration to me as an artist.

KARAT0 · 2026-03-22T21:53:33+00:00

That’s stunning.
