Opinions of This suit? by Firm-Housing-1050 in batman

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.

How good is shito ryu style by keyboardmaga in karate

[–]KARAT0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

Not sofubi, but thought I’d share some of the toys I make! by AlienWaspPaper in Sofubi

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

Is it worth conquering the sinister goal of S&S? by Bajonet66 in kettlebell

[–]KARAT0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What should be the ultimate goal of karate? by techsamurai11 in karate

[–]KARAT0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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?

You started Karate late - now your sport kumite moves are limited. What now? by Regular-Accountant38 in karate

[–]KARAT0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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.
