Warm-up exercises we do at the present were developed by Miyagi Chojun Sensei. These warm-up exercises are used not only for improving muscles but also as a base for the improvement of the karate techniques. Besides, these exercises were developed seriously to meet human body needs. To do exhausting trainings of karate without preliminary exercises would cause damages to the muscles. The student would lack also speed and flexibility of movement.
 It is very important to begin with slight exercises in order to warm-up the muscles, improve all the joints and make the blood circulate. After warm-up exercises, our body will be ready to start a hard training. These easy exercises will help us to improve our karate techniques and to make us get enthusiastic as well. These exercises are destined to serve as a form of mental and physical training for the whole life.

 following then with exercises to stretch ankles,
 exercises for Achilles heel,
 legs,
 the trunk (torso),

 Last exercises are to develop the strength and stamina. Students with lack of strength and/or endurance must practice these exercises repeatedly to help to develop their muscles, their physical strength, their endurance and also to make easier the strengthening of their joints. Students must try to breath and exhale correctly during each exercise. Make exercises with a correct breathing help you to improve the blood stream and strengthen the internal organs, at the same time as muscular development is facilitated.
