Come at me

In november there is a sports event here with a variety of martial arts.
I think I will start kempo but i'm scrawny as hell.
Uh oh.

Any of you do martial arts or have a good starting regime?

I use the lift often, because taking the stairs is too hard.

I should have started martial arts when I was younger. Because now, everytime I go to a practice training ppl only see me as a 6.3 ft tall training dummy to practice all sorts of dangerous sh*t on. I might look like I can take a beating but I'm actually very tender :3

So instead of getting hurt I'm rather gonna practice my inner Kung Fu and pick up Tai Chi soon™.

I attended Jiu-Jitsu school for 5 years, got to a yellow belt. But that was a long time ago. Now I'm just doing push-ups and dumbbells once in a while. I wish to do more, though, but too lazy.

I have done some martial arts in the past & they did first half fitness second half the art so you should improve fitness that way, the point of martial arts is the technique if done right you don't need much strength anyone should be able to do it but yeah some times strength is a very useful thing to have. I wouldn't say lifting would be that useful i'd say do things like push ups, seat ups, lunges, jogging, something to improve grip strength; kettle bell, dump bell, something like a stress ball or rock climbing grip strengthener would be pretty good, can do it while a game is loading at your desk. Also flexibility is a big thing so start practicing the splits etc =D

I did some karate in the past. I thought it wouldn't be very effective in a real life situation and quit a few months later.
I still think kata is bs...
Maybe Wing Chun is better. Actually Donnie Yen Bro confirmed it is. Watch him beating 10 karate black belts :D

I did 120kg Benchpress / 130kg Decline - but pounds sound better - 264 / 286 - \o/

You know what that is in competitive Powerlifting? A low level warm up, not worth to mention.
But for a guy doing just devoted workouts without anabolic steroids, it was not too bad :)

Like I said: I DID lift, now I'm leveling...

I do heavy lifting at home. I regularly carry the little one (20kg) around and occasionally the bigger little one (I think she's 30kg).

As for martial arts, I did some karate (this style), and there are no particular physical requirements for it. I think that smaller people actually have an advantage (though if you're tall and thin, maybe not so much).
