I%26#039;m going to take a beginning karate class this summer. (I needed to take an elective) Answers from people who have taken karate classes before would be recommended.
I just wanna know a couple of stuff so I%26#039;m not hit with surprises when I show up. By the way, is there any flipping, usage of weapons, etc involved? Does strength matter seeing that I%26#039;m pretty weak? Any other kind of info be great.|||i would imagine unless it is a karate club in the college that offers classes that you will more likely be taking an aerobic form of karate, like P.E. class. You wont get to use weapons unless the class offers kobudo and there will defintly not be any flipping. Strength probably wont matter that much in class because your training partner will be compliant with your take downs and such, in a real life situation it would make a big difference though. You probably wont learn that much in 1 semester or however long you take it for but if you like it you might want to find a real dojo in your area. Good luck.|||I%26#039;ve trained in Shotokan Karate and Tae-kwon-doe.
Karate is a striking art and I%26#039;ve never been to a karate school that had any flipping.
Weapons are %26quot;sometimes%26quot; used but usually only in form or katas (Series of movements). So you shouldn%26#039;t have to worry about fighting with them.
If you were serious about ranking high in competitions (speed would matter most). Just taken someone done strength would matter very much, but also weight, speed and flexibility.
Just have fun with it is best advice I can give you|||Go check it out.Wear comfertable work out clothes and have fun there is no beatings on the first day so do not be afraid, besides there may be some cute boys there for you to meet.
