I've come across this recently and it's very interesting. Are any of you Tao Bums familiar with these techniques? How accurately do they work for you? http://www.squidoo.com/muscletesting

I recently picked up a copy of Miyamoto Musashi's The Book Of Five Rings. I'm only a short way into it, but it's great stuff for anyone into martial arts.

I want to know how I can condition my body to the point where I can strike with great power, and withstand powerful strikes. Thing is, at the moment, learning another complete Martial Art isn't really doable...Is there a system of some kind I can use simply to condition my body in this way (preferably without damaging it too much) over a period of time? Thanks.

This brings the pleasant vibes to my afternoon, thanks.

Mmm, many Aikido techniques have the potential to do lots of damage to someone, no doubt about that - There's just less emphasis on striking in most schools that I'm aware of (I know Yoseikan Budo incorporates some punches and kicks into their system - I'd like to try that out one day actually) but like you mentioned, the "flavour" took a turn for the different after WWII. Not particularly keen for sledge-hammer skull conditioning... Thanks!
