The best advice for someone who wants to improve their conditioning for Karate is:. For instance, a Karate athlete who competes in kumite should have the ability to go all out for three minutes, then recover, and then go again. Hence, their endurance training needs to reflect this. For somebody who wants efficient all-round conditioning, I recommend high intensity interval training HIIT , which has been scientifically proven to improve cardio and endurance greatly. A good example is the Tabata protocol, where you perform 8 sets of 20 sec work with 10 sec rest between, for a total of 4 grueling minutes.

An exercise where you perform a movement that directly challenges your core develops your core strength , while an exercise where there is a challenge not to move your trunk develops your core stabilit y.

If we use the example of the stationary gyaku-zuki reverse punch twisting your hips from hanmi to shomen half facing to facing you will realize that with a weak core the energy will get lost along the way, and you will have an inefficient technique. Bad posture or repetitive movement can easily cause a muscular imbalance — often without you even noticing.
