I am 26 male, and longing to join Karate training. What body training is required before joining it?

Question

1. I am 68 kilograms, 5'10'' and normal body type.
2. I go for running atleast 3 days a week for 2 kilometers.
(IMPORTANT) Please help me in suggesting me the workouts which will prepare me for getting into the Karate training. How long should I do these basics and how to know my energy levels before joining the training? More importantly I should get the stamina and consistency to withstand the tough training and daily workouts in the Karate training.

Additional suggestions in the matter of food and diet, relaxation would be deeply appreciated. ( I am a vegetarian who eats only egg).

Thanks.

PS: My apologies for the uncertain and insufficient information I have furnished about my body type and other details.

Answer 1

Honestly, you are in shape enough to begin training now.
Just get started.
Find a good school.
Check out all the schools in your area.
Observe classes.
Never sign a contract.

If you feel like you want to start getting your body ready practice breathing deeply. Suck in, hold it, release it out. Use your diaphram to breath, not your lungs.
Start strecthing daily.
Start doing push-ups, dips, sit-ups, leg lifts, crunches...all the isometrics you know and love.

Good Luck!
Never pay for rank tests.
Ask to observe their sparring exercises.
Ask questions.

Answer 2

As suggested above, as long as you are in reasonably good physical condition already, you should have no difficulties hitting the ground running.

Your instructor likely has a lot of experience in bringing newbies along slowly. After all, there is no benefit to overworking someone the first day. They won't come back!

My personal advice to you is for you to take it slow. What I mean is don't overwork yourself. Go at the pace the instructor sets and at which your classmates are training. All good things take time and what you are embarking upon is a good thing.

Happy training!

Answer 3

when entering karate training, your instructor will give you an exercise regimine. also, you may wish to start eating more protiens. i understand it goes against your vegetarian ways, but the protiens found in beef are the absolute best for building lean muscle. at the very most, beef stock would be an acceptable alternative to actually consuming flesh.

Answer 4

You'll be fine. Karate centres train you in all aspects needed, including any type of fitness etc. Goodluck...
