Yeah, I know about hip rotation, connection to the floor, and internal vibration from such being the source of striking power, we emphasize it a lot in our style (Shotokan Ryu/JKA). Karate was a home venture as a kid, dad's a nidan, had a mini-dojo built in our basement, trained enough that I still know everything as far as basics, and probably a lot more than someone at my rank should.
The weight lifting was really something just to throw in extra during the evenings, because while my muscles could probably take a second hour long workout in a day, my ankles, knees, and tendons probably can't.
This'll probably sound like typical BS, but from what I've seen on /fit/, I probably have more muscle weight involved in that 300 than is normally expected, particularly in my legs. Thus, why an hour of karate doesn't kill me.
Anyway, thanks!
