One of the most important parts of your Martial Arts training is learning and working on forms or kata. Forms training 1) builds your strength and flexibility, 2) helps your breathing and internal power, and 3) leads you into finding a state of relaxation under pressure called, Mushin. Read more about incorporating forms and many more training methods into your pursuit of the Martial Arts lifestyle in one of our favorite martial arts books: Living the Martial Way by Capt. Forrest E. Morgan. Get your copy of Living the Martial Way HERE.
