I am not a doctor! I don't even play one on TV. Before you do anything, even read this site, let alone work out according to its recommendations, consult your physician. Twice. Maybe three times. If you don't then you'll die. Really. Well, maybe you won't die, but if you survive what happens then it will only be by the grace of God or Steven Erikson (the next best thing to God).

I also do not speak for Seido Karate. Any training ideas or philosophical notions found in this blog do not represent the views of Seido Karate or Kaicho Nakamura, but rather my own personal opinion about martial arts and training.  In any cases where those views differ from the official Seido position I'm probably wrong.
