Push-up:intensifying your stamina

To be a real fighter, you need to create a whole lot of awareness of the body. The exciting thing about this that the body has many inhibitions. Often the heaviness people feel when trying some physical activity comes more from these inhibitions, than from the physical limitations themselves. You need to train hard to wean yourself away from such inbuilt resistances. A hardcore preparatory practice that creates tremendous strength is very important. But more than that, it should also combine such training with creating fearlessness. The big fear many people have is of falling -- a fighter cannot have that. Doing push-ups in this fashion will ensure that you not only get strength, but also fearlessness. Here you are fighting gravity, resisting it. Most importantly, you are also facing the resistances the mind has to such moves. 
This is the way a fighter has to be ...

This push-up prepares your upper body for a pounding punch.

• Is a natural cardio.
• Prepares your core muscles, needed to transfer the energy in a good kick, right from the back and hips to where you want to land it.
• Creates tremendous sense of balance, co-ordination -- one of the biggest weapons in a fighter's arsenal.

Continue your practice. But notch it up!!
