If you are serious about being in shape for a violent confrontation you need to lift weights.  I am not saying you need to be a bodybuilder or Arnold Schwarzneggar.  I am however saying that you need to be strong, as strong as you possibly can be and one way to get there is by lifting weight.  Make sure you can lift by consulting your doctor and please seek out instruction so that you can lift correctly.  In a violent encounter you are going to have to utilize your muscles and cardio.  Never, neglect strength training and cardio.  It should be a part of your martial regimen!  Time to lift…

See You On The Mats!!!
