Most people have their impressions of martial artist developed through watching movies. It started with Bruce Lee, a perennial favorite, and moved to Chuck Norris, Steven Segal, Jean Claude VanDame, Jackie Chan and Jet Li along with many others. For myself, it actually started watching Sunday afternoon "Kung Fu Theatre" a wonderful program that featured the dubbed over chineese made kung fu films which I love to this day. Reguardless of where you got your introduction to Martial Arts, undoubtably, one of the things you couldn't help but notice was the almost unbelievable physical 
conditioning of these stars of the big screen. Fitness has always beed synonomys with Martial Arts, from the Monks of the Shaolin Temple (if you have ever had the chance to see these guys in action, they are fantastic) to todays Masters. Oddly enough, however, physical conditioning has little to do with having the ability to really take care of a confrontation, however, it sure doesn't hurt. The next post is going to get specific about the actual steps you can take, starting today, to get yourself into better fitness and begin your Martial Arts journey.
