You want to have a perfectly designed body, and Isshin Ryu, Goju Ryu, or some other Karate System is the key! There are, however, several things you should understand before you begin this journey. These things would be what, exactly, a perfect body is.
To be honest, a perfect body is going to have to do with proportion. One of the best definitions of proportions I have come across is by Leo DaVinci. His analysis of frame is as follows: length the same as height, seven heads high, three heads shoulder to shoulder, two heads from fingers to elbows, four heads hips to toes, and so on.
Now, Leo is said to have altered these measurements to fit his sculpting designs. I don't know about that, I am just curious about the idea of proportion. I am interested as to whether doing the Martial Arts will shift the shape of the body until it fits these measurements.
The preceding said, the second thing to estimate is what type of martial arts you should study. Here we must change up a bit, and look at the two types of schools in original Karate studies. These would be the shorei and shorin methods of instruction.
One of the schools trains one to be light and nimble, and is probably for a light and nimble body. The other school trains one to hold their ground, and would indicate a more sold and bulky body that is not so agile. Obviously, you should design your art, and the karate forms you study, and the karate bunkai that you do, to fit one or the other of these schools.
Thus far we have analyzed the proportions of the perfect karate body, and we have discussed the two styles of training in traditional karate. Next we need to look at the workings of the ideal frame. This would depend, of course, on which styles of katas you are going to train in.
Many people want the large, hard body, but they wouldn't necessarily be right. Size and mass, you see, is something you have to move around. It would be better for your overall ability to move to have muscles that are lean and dense.
Thus, you should design your muscles so they have enough mass or speed to create impact, but not so large that they tire out. To be exact, it's nice to think about being the terminator, but the reality of combat should gear you towards a lean, mean body that is quick, agile, and will last all day long. This should be one of the most important considerations when you think about utilizing Isshin Ryu, Goju Ryu or any other Karate System to create the perfect Body.
