I am looking for guides on arm conditioning drills for Uechi-Ryu Karate or any others?

Question

I currently am taking Uechi-Ryu Karate Do but only once a week. I workout and practice my forms 3 days a week. I am trying to find video or even books about arm and/or leg conditioning to help with my training.

It is also known as arm pounding.

Answer 1

I know Kyokushinkai has some very good conditionning drills.

Try looking for the following ebook:

Essential_Karate_-_Mas_Oyama

Good luck

Answer 2

What you refer to is called Kotekitae, and is heavily emphisized in all styles of Okinawin karate. The secret is to start slow and build gradually so you do not hurt yourself. here are some links o get you started, but the best thing would be to ask your instructor for some Kotekitae excersises and drills you can do on your own at home. these links are just some I found doing a wuick search, but they should get you started.
