As some of you know that I'm an artist, there's another art which I also ventured a long time ago in my teenage years, the art of self defense. I strongly believe that women should not only have the looks but also girl power rather than playing the damsel in distress. I once got fed up being picked on in my childhood so my boyish side sprung from it. At the age of 10, I started throw punches and kicks on those who hurt and pick on me. Growing up, I enjoyed doing workouts with my childhood friends. We used to jog in the morning then we play badminton afterwards. I was also inspired from watching anime and got interested with martial arts. One time, I saw a karate book. I got interested and mom bought it for me. Since I can't spar with anyone due to my spinal problem, the least I can do is to learn on my own with the help of this book. Later on, I incorporated dumbells on it so here are my workout buddies. If you love to exercise or happen to plan starting out a routine, feel free to try this karate style exercises. You can find the details in this article https://read.cash/@KrisCastro/karate-style-workout-is-fun-a8de6bef. Have fun exercising.

Thats really cool dear,I did join karate class as a kid but then i left it after few days.
Aw why not continue? I envy you for the opportunity. I wish I can enroll too.
mahilig den ako sa karate kakapanood ng mga movies noon hehe Kzo hanggang tingin lang nyaha. Post mo mga drawing mo uli sis :)
Sa kakanood ko ng anime pati martial arts nakahiligan ko hehe. Masaya naman sya gawin. Try mo hihi. Sa umpisa mahirap kasi di pa sanay ang katawan pero after 2 weeks na regular practice dun mo maramdaman na nasasanay na katawan mo at dumadali gawin yung basic moves. 😀
wow! a karate kid by heart! galing sis ha. Anong belt mo na? Ako i've tried Aikido before but was not able to finish the training just the basics though. tama yan, women must know self defense specially nowadays you'll never know what might be lurking in the dark corner.🥋🥋🏋️♀️🏃♀️👍
Never ako naka enroll sis. Self study lahat gamit yung book. May scolio kasi ako eh kaya di pwede sparring sakin. Kaya dito ako sa book nag self study at natuto ng basics. Sa punching bag ko pinapatama. Itutuloy ko sya pag maka settle ako. At least dito sa new place ko may mapupwestuhan para mag workout at karate.
I have a deep passion in exercise and finally joined gym a couple of years ago, too bad had to stop it after Covid hit and we had worst scnarios in India, I still walk 30 mins a day just to keep my body active :)
This is the reason why I just do workouts at home. This book and everything I learned from the gym are very helpful. I stay safe at home while doing them.
you're very inspiring, God bless you
