Condition the Body For Kung Fu or Karate

How do you condition the body for Kung Fu or Karate?
It's not difficult, but it's like a diet. If it's going to
work, you have to change your whole lifestyle and stick at
it.
First, you've got to be loose and supple for
any martial art. That's how you condition your body for kung fu
or karate.
And you need to be fit, so you don't get puffed
out too quickly.
You want some strength, but not as much as most
people would imagine. It's your speed and skill which will make
the difference.
Being strong as an ox doesn't count for much if
your opponent can dance rings around you and keep smashing you
with impunity.
And that killer punch you've got won't do much
good if you can't land it properly.
