Should I do bodybuilding or not??

[Kevin__Huang]

Hi guys, I have a question. I practiced kyokushin karate recently and I think that my body is so small compare to the other karatekas. So I think I should do bodybuilding to make myself bigger. But I heard that bodybuilding can make your body move slower. So could you guys please give me an advice or two?

If you want to then do it but it won't make you any better at karate. Look at the founders of karate are they massive body builders no yet I reckon they can do damage if needed.

Bruce Lee was a body builder and he moved pretty good.
Marvin Hagler was a body builder and it didn't seem to slow him down.

You said you were 16, how old are the guys you are comparing yourself to.

I would simply train kyokushin karate and let your body/physique develop naturally based on kyokushin karate, but that is only my opinion.

Yes, maybe because they're professionals. Thanks for the reply.

Yes. He is a sage who has attained ultimate wisdom at a very young age.

Strength training, yes.
Body Building, I would discourage.
A good weight training program for strength development is not the same as a weight training program for body building though both use weights.

That's MISTER Sage to you bub

No need for it. Power is not generated in the way you think.

As others have said; you can be an effective practitioner even if you are not as bulky as other practitioners.
Despite a persons muscle definition, if you have trained to be powerful - you will be!
I carry a little more weight than I wish I did, however this does not stop me performing well; the same is said for body-builders, however exercise caution not to get too big that your muscle mass affects you in your martial arts ability.

Kevin, go have fun training, regardless of what that training is. It's all going to work out, honest.
I'm big, five nine, a hundred and fifty pounds. No worries.

That's what I was told a long time ago. By Martial Artists who were told the same thing.
