Description
Are you currently training in martial arts? Are you thinking about starting but are concerned you aren't in shape? Are you interested in getting into great shape just like the martial artists you see? Well, then you are in luck! This short introductory course will help you increase your endurance, flexibility, and strength using martial arts methods and exercises. Using only your body weight, you will learn separate workout routines for stamina, increasing total body strength, and better flexibility. This course is a great way to get the ball rolling whether you are taking more online karate courses or are preparing to start live in-person training a karate studio. This course is a great supplement to your technical martial arts training and can be used as a stand alone workout when traveling or at home. The best part? It's completely free! No prior experience in martial arts or fitness required. No training partner needed. The only thing you need is an open workout space free from distractions.
Training in martial arts is one of those few activities that require the entire body. Not only is the entire body utilized, but strength, endurance, flexibility, speed, agility, and timing are also required.
Because of this, many adults are hesitant to start martial arts training, especially if they have lived a relatively sedentary lifestyle for many years.
In this video training lesson, I introduce you to a strength and endurance routine I developed for my black belt students. There are different levels and no equipment is required. I also go through a stretching routine designed to make flexibility gains, not just to warmup or cool down.
If you have never done martial arts but are interested in starting, this routine will help you get used to training the entire body. If you currently train, this training lesson will help you get stronger and more flexible, making you a better martial artist regardless of specific style.
Course is taught by Master Steven Elmore, 5th Dan in Tang Soo Do who has taught several Regional and World Champion Tang Soo Do fighters. Master Elmore is not the most gifted athlete but has had success in sparring competition both as a competitor and a coach using the methods outlined in this course.

Steven Elmore
Tang Soo Do Karate Master Instructor
Master Steven Elmore started training in Tang Soo Do in 1988 in Livonia, MI under Master Romines. He continued training with Master Romines, receiving 1st Dan in 1992 at 12 years old and 2nd Dan in 1994. In 1997, Master Romines took some time off and turned his school over to one of his students, Master Matt Ochs who brought the students into the World Tang Soo Do Association.
In 1998, Master Elmore started attending the University of Michigan, studying Aerospace Engineering. At that time, he was chief instructor at Master Ochs’ studio, teaching 4-5 hours a night. The studio was approximately 60 miles away, each way, which Master Elmore drove 4-5 days a week while still maintaining his studies. In 1999, Master Elmore received the rank of 3rd Dan in Tang Soo Do.
Master Elmore graduated in 2002 and started his first martial arts studio at the Plymouth YMCA while attending graduate school at the University of Michigan. In 2004, Master Elmore was offered a position with Boeing and moved to Seattle, WA. He earned a master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan in 2005.
In 2004, he started Evergreen Tang Soo Do Academy at the West Seattle YMCA. That program quickly grew to a part-time commercial studio in 2006 then a full-time studio in 2008. Master Elmore quit his job at Boeing and has taught martial arts full time ever since.
He earned his 4th Dan in 2007, the youngest master in Tang Soo Do at the time and began his training under Grandmaster Shin until his death in 2012. Master Elmore then trained under Grandmaster Beaudoin, earning 5th Dan in 2016, until leaving the World Tang Soo Do Association in 2020 to be an independent Tang Soo Do instructor.
From 1997-2005, Master Elmore was an avid competitor in forms and fighting. He earned numerous Regional and World titles in WTSDA competitions as well as Open circuit competitions.
Due to his success in starting/running a martial arts studio, Master Elmore was a featured speaker at the WTSDA Business Seminar from 2011-2016 and provided guidance and mentorship to other instructors throughout the world.
Throughout his career, he has had the opportunity to travel around the world to Costa Rica, Germany, Canada, Aruba as well as across the United States.He is also the author of a book, “The Physics of Martial Arts”.
