Some days you won’t train in Shotokan; the dojo may be closed for Christmas, or your Sensei may be traveling to conduct seminars or testing in some corner of the world.
Therefore, it’s a good idea to have something you can do on your days off training for fun, flexibility, and aerobic exercise.
You could always run with the bulls at Pamploma. And if one of the bulls catches you, you can practice blocking, fueled with some serious motivation.
On the other hand, you could also practice Sepaktakraw, the sport in the video above.
It seems to have a lot to offer a martial artist; training for focus, timing, distance, aerobic exercise, flexibility, and break-falls.
Although these gentlemen seem to have given up breakfalls for Lent!
