taido martial art

Taido was created by Seiken Shukumine. He began this Japanese martial art form in 1964. The meaning of Taido karate is “way of the body,” and it is based on a traditional Okinawan karate form called Te.
This was not the only time that Shukumine had developed a unique martial arts style. When he was only 25, he created a new kind of karate he called Genseirvu.
Karate and other fighting styles have been increasing in popularity in the West for a number of years. In those years, prior to the founding of Taido, most practice was simplistic and the common techniques for this “empty handed” style of fighting saw little change. yet, society was changing and Shukumine was a student of philosophy and tried to anticipate what would have to be changed as far as how classical martial arts methods of instruction were concerned.
Shukumine realized that there […]

The basis of Tabata Training is 4 minutes of intense interval training. What you are doing is taking an exercise we’ll use sprints as an example here. Sprint as hard as you can for 20 seconds Walk for 10 seconds Repeat 7 more times for a total of 8 sets. So what you have is a total of 4 minutes workout time. Tabata Training can be done with a number of different exercises the idea is to use an exercise that gets the whole body involved or at least the major muscle groups.Tabata Training can be done with Barbells, Dumbells, Kettlebells or just Bodyweight exercises. I’ll give you some other exercises and routines to try in a minute but first let me give you some background and how Tabatas work. Tabata Training was developed by Izumi Tabata (imagine that) at the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Tokyo, Japan. […]

Tomatoes taste best in the peak of summer. Did you know in-season tomatoes pack nearly twice as much vitamin C as off-season varieties? I know it’s technically Autumn/Fall but the weather over here is still summer-ish so we have plenty of fresh tomatoes still around. This soup makes great use of these end-of-season tomatoes and is a perfect easy lunch idea.

I am going to dissect a recent Time magazine article called, "Why Exercise Won't Make You Thin". I do agree with parts of this article, but think a lot of this is bogus. The author simply isn't taking a strategic approach to exercise and seems to be complaining for his lack of results. That being said, I do agree with a few of his points. Let's dig in!

[While staying lean and losing body fat is largely about diet, you can magnify the effects of a good diet with the right types of exercise. Note: The photo above is a good example of eating smaller portions of your favorite foods.]

Cardio Queen. That was my unofficial nickname at the gym.I would proudly pop on my I-pod, pull out my trashy magazine, and a big bottle of water (Nalgene of course…I care about the environment people) and stay on my cardio machine for the entirety of my gym session. I Pumped away on a variety of machines…I have a particular addiction to the elliptical….my foolish mind believed this was how I was going to acquire those six pack abs I had always dreamed of. These machines will make me super sexy sculpted girl, I will be on the next Shape Magazine….Oh how foolish I was….
Well I can’t afford a personal trainer…even after giving blood three times in one month for extra cash….word to the wise DO NOT recommend this and I have tried the free weights and strength machines on my own without much success. Either I got bored very easily […]

A quick good news / not so good news post today about building muscle and fasting.
The Good news – Research shows (once again) that even 72 hours of fasting (way longer than I recommend) does not change whole body protein turnover or measures of protein oxidation (you’re not losing muscle).
The not so good news news – The same research also shows that that massive doses of insulin and amino acids after a fast are no more anabolic then they are in the fed state. In other words fasting didn’t some how turn you into a muscle building monster.
Bottom line – Eat Stop Eat is supported by EVEN more research showing it’s a great way to lose fat without losing muscle! You’re not losing massive muscle when you are fasting and you are not building massive amounts of new muscle because you are coming out of a fast (there’s no magic […]
