Learn Karate At Home & Hit Things!!!!!
Many karateka never hit anything, they go through their whole life, punching and kicking thin air! This is not good. If you are trying to learn karate at home, or even looking to learn karate online, a striong piece of advice that i can give you, would be to get yourself a punch bag, start slowly, but then eventually you will be hitting the bag like a pro! Bag work is a great karate exercise, great for fitness, stamina, speed, strength and timing and did i mention that it's great fun!!!!!!!!!!!!
