Osu!Dent, I agree with this sentiment in general. However, I have witnessed others crank out 100 push-ups after kihon and kata (promotions), machine-like. One time, during a nidan-testing, the candidate who had his broken arm in a cast, was asked to stop after 100 reps lest he injure himself further.
The funny thing is, 100 push-ups is a muscle endurance attribute that runs counter to what a striker would need-explosive strength. Going through the ordeal of training to do 100, whilst training to be a better striker becomes as much spirit training as physical. My problem, as I mentioned before, is that the spirit is willing, the flesh otoh. . .
