With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

Martial arts doesnt seem to focus on conditioning as much as other sports like boxing, muay thai & kickboxing when it really should. Take a look at bruce lee, he came at a time when most MM didnt bother at all with fitness. He preached fitness, he had 120 books on bodybuilding alone. -------------- Accept the challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory
