		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s envision a world where you can quantify your karate ability and give it a number on some karate-scale. One component of that score would be your kumite (sparring) score. This score would indicate a mathematically sound, and universally accepted value of your sparring ability which is quantitatively comparable to other people&#8217;s kumite-score, K.  For example, it [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dailykarate.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4508409&amp;post=879&amp;subd=dailykarate&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Practicing two martial arts or sports on a regular basis is not a new notion. But a cross-training combination that you might seldom read about is karate and yoga. Yoga has become increasingly popular over the last 10 years among suburbanites and the health-conscience. Its benefits have been postulated for millenia and more recently shown to be [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dailykarate.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4508409&amp;post=916&amp;subd=dailykarate&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Among traditionalists, its a sin to make money from offering karate classes or providing karate training or study material. &#8220;That&#8217;s not what karate is about!&#8221; &#8220;Karate should be shared for the greater [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dailykarate.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4508409&amp;post=894&amp;subd=dailykarate&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

I throw something like a roundhouse, front snap kick, or back fist strike, and it ends up coming short of the distance needed to score a point. At times, my body feels like it has a governer [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dailykarate.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4508409&amp;post=849&amp;subd=dailykarate&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
