Love this channel you literally have every answer to not just karate but fighting art related questions

[@andojo4747]

Do you include leg exercises during your weight training workouts or just upper body? Thanks

[@AlCloutier]

Thanks for the excellent question. I squat, walk, and perform kata while wearing a 20lb weight vest and 10lb wrist weights.

I have the chiishi, nigirigame, and the weight roller. I practice with them sporadically.
