You want to have a perfect body, and Shotokan or Uechi ryu, or some other Karate System is the key! There are, however, several things you have to know before you begin this journey. These things begin with defining what, exactly, a perfect body is.
To be honest, a perfect body is going to have to do with proportion. One of the best definitions of proportions I have come across is by Leo DaVinci. His analysis of frame is as follows: length the same as height, seven heads high, three heads shoulder to shoulder, two heads from fingers to elbows, four heads hips to toes, and so on.
Now, DaVinci is said to have changed these measurements to fit his sculpting designs. I don't know if he really did, I am just curious concerning the correct idea of proportion. I am interested as to whether doing the Martial Arts will grow shape of the body until it resembles these measurements.
The second thing to estimate is what type of martial arts you should study. Here we must change the direction of our analysis, and look at the two types of schools in original Karate studies. These would be the shorei and shorin karate styles.
One of the schools trains one to move around, and would indicate a light and nimble body, a body that is lean and light in make up. The other school trains one to hold their ground, and would indicate a more sold and bulky body that is not so lean and light. Obviously, you should tailor your art, and the karate kata you study, and the karate techniques that you do, to fit one or the other of these schools.
Thus far we have analyzed the measurements of the perfect karate body, and we have discussed the two methods of training in traditional karate. Next we need to consider the workings of the ideal structure. This would depend, of course, on which types of katas you have decided to train in.
Many people idealize the large, muscular body as the ideal body, and they wouldn't be necessarily correct. Size, you see, is something you have to lug around with you. It would be better to have leaner, more dense muscles.
Thus, you should design your muscles so they have the mass or speed to create lots of impact, but not so large that they tire out. It's nice to think about being the terminator, but the reality of fighting should gear you towards a lean, mean body that is quick, agile, and will last all day long. This should be one of the most important considerations when you think about utilizing Shorin Ryu, Wado Ryu or any other Karate System to create the perfect Body.
