Empty mind! Empty bowls help too I have found, but just go along and get involved is my advise

talk to as many bouncers and doormen as you can, who will tell you karate guys generally get their butts kicked on the street. Even by regular drunk bums. In other words 99% of their stuff don’t work.

Sorry but I’m serious, ask them. We see it all the time. I have no reason to lie to you. Get your parents or yourself to visit 20 clubs and get back to me on what they say.

Cardio and flexibility. Also, your senses. Close attention to detail especially in what the instructor is teaching you. Make your moves precise and crisp! But all in all, classes range from the no experience beginner to advanced students. You can start taking lessons just how you are and in time, your health, flexibility, etc will improve along with your skill level and technique. Good luck, I’m sure you’ll be fine. Don’t be shy, just go for it!

On the comical side, you could watch Karate Kid…….Daniel-san. If you got time, start washing cars, sanding floors, and paint the fence. Then you’ll be ready to win a tournament.

Get you mind right. While getting in shape doesn't hurt, Karate lessons aren't really something you "prepare" for, as much as they are here for the purpose of preparing you.

Start doing some stretches to get yourself toned and more flexible and do this befor each class so you have less chance of pulling or cramping your muscles.
