The strengthening work must be a part of the training of any budoka who looks for maximum efficiency.It helps to be able to block painlessly, and to increase the power of your strikes.But, be careful the strengthening should not be practiced without caution, there is a risk of body injury.It is to be performed with intelligence and according to a precise and gradual method.Sensei Takemi Takayasu, 8th Dan, guides you with intelligence in order to lead you to the goal that you look for: being more resisting, more efficient. Sensei Takayasu pratices Uechiryu style which particularity remains the strengthening work on limbs.The author of such titles as "Okinawa Makiawara", "Uechiryu Karatedo from Okinawa" Vol.1,2 and 3, he demonstrates through this film the secrets of the Okinawa Strengthening.Body hardening is a traditional part of Okinawa karate training, which aims to develop the body's resilience and endurance.It includes exercises that specifically stress the body with impacts, blows or pressure to strengthen the skin, muscles and bones.This is often done by hitting hard surfaces such as wood or training with special equipment such as the makiwara.Body hardening not only promotes physical robustness, but also mental strength and the ability to endure pain, which is of great importance in karate.An important aspect of this practice is that it is done in controlled and gradual phases to avoid injury and improve technique.Body hardening is considered one of the foundations of traditional karate in Okinawa, as it significantly increases the fighting spirit and endurance of karateka.
