Stadion's Sports and Martial Arts Training Discussion

I'm not arguing that scientifically they can't. I'm saying simply that they don't. These children which i am talking about, are ones i know personally by the way, do not lift weights at all - thus have not done the preparatory exercises - yet have still worked to achieve the full splits. This then m...

What do you think? 1) technique or speed (kyokushin) 2) speed or strength (judo and weight lifting) 3) aerobic endurance (kyokushin) 4) active...
