I am training for a Kyokushin Karate tournament in June. Does anyone have any health tips?
Does anyone have any tips for:
1) exercise
2) eating
The main thing, as you doubtless know, is that the Kumite, or sparring, is continuous and goes until the first knockdown.
Meaning, you need to plan ahead, and both train for and eat for endurance. I would recommend getting more cardio, particularly of an upper-body sort on a rowing machine, as well as lots of heavy bag work, as you will be throwing a *lot* of body punches if your fights go the distance. I would also look into getting more fiber and complex carbs into your diet in the month leading up to the tournament–don’t over do it or you will gain weight, but start more than a week early so your body is used to holding on to calories for exertion.
In the week leading up to the tournament, if you are doing the Kumite/fighting, you would be well served to test your ability to keep standing and moving after hard body shots, either with a partner in training reverse punches, or by doing crunches while a partner jams a medicine ball *lightly* into your abs (the weight of the ball should be enough). Also raise your salt intake *slightly*, just enough to get you retaining water so you don’t have to hydrate so much during the tournament….drinking water after taking a lot of body shots doesn’t work, the blunt impact will make you need to pee…
This is what I’ve heard works from my older sister, who earned her brown belt in shotokan in about a year, training five-plus days a week, and from her and a few of my uncles who were also into boxing. Of course, your mileage will vary, especially if you aren’t competing in Kumite, but rather just doing kata or breaks or something….
Wait a minute, *Kyokushin*, of course you’re fighting, sorry. Good luck, I hope this helps. -_- Just know, win or lose, you rock. Really. ^_^
