Weights in training?
Thank you all once again for being wonderful people and putting up with me......So weights, ankle and wrist weights, would they be beneficial in katas such as the walk?
I bought some for my ankles and wrists to help get/keep in shape, and I thought back to one time in the dojo where our teacher had me do the walk with a
dumbbell in each hand while keeping proper form (<= 5lb), and it really made me aware of what I was doing. I was wondering, if you use weights in such kata for more than
showing someone how they do their technique, would it help or harm them and their learning? This is a real curious matter to me which I can find no definitive answers.
