Q&A for How to Fight Like Goku

Everyone has different strengths, different weaknesses, and different comfort levels. If you're a person who doesn't like being close to people, don't go for a type of martial arts that only does grappling. If you're a person who likes using your hands, don't go to a kicking school. Each martial art has its specialties. Do your research on the different styles that are available in the area that you want to train. Visit them and see if that environment is conducive to your learning capability, your learning style, and for you as a person.

Consistency is king. It's about having a routine. If you're looking to maintain a fitness level, then you have to be consistent with everything you do.

No. To fight like Goku, you need to train as much as you can, and then rest. Consider training 1 hour 3 to 4 times a week,preferably with a day of rest in between. You can train up to 6 days a week, with 1 day of rest.

Yes. When Goku was just a kid, he carried heavy turtle shells and delivered milk, and his endurance got better by doing farmwork. But younger people can get a little too exited, so make sure whoever the 14-year-old is gets rest.

Do you have a tail? If not, is your blood filled with rage and passion for fighting? If you answered "yes" to either of these questions, you are a saiyan.

You have to act as fast as you can. Don't give your opponent time to think.

Yes, but only for a moment. Basically, kaio-ken is for increasing your strength (attack, defense, power, stamina, durability) for a moment. After the kaio-ken is done, your body starts to take the damage.

In a literal sense, you can't train like Goku and expect to live. He's done some pretty crazy things, including training in 100 times Earth gravity. Humans start to lose consciousness around 9-10 times normal gravity and risk serious injury and death much beyond that. That said, if you look back at his earlier years, you can emulate some of what he did. Build up your physical endurance, like he did when he wore that heavy turtle shell at Master Roshi's place. Also, learn a martial art. In particular, Goku would have probably learned a Japanese style like karate. Finally, whatever you do, don't give up.

Yes, you can. You just have to practice every day and believe that you can be as strong as he is.

To become a Sayian you need to make sure you have a passion for fighting, and to do Kamehameha, you need to know how to create chi energy.

It would likely take a few years of consistent training to get to that level.

Yes indeed. If you train long and hard enough, then you can become strong.

Yes, any healthy person can do this. Just don't overexert yourself - start slow and gradually build up to more training until your body gets used to it.

Yes, but you need to increase your energy output immensely and also be ki sensitive before you attempt it.

Karate and Kung Fu appear to be the main sources of Goku's technique, but there's no real pinpoint style. He fights however his body feels, and you should too.

If that fat 13-year-old trains to fight like Goku by following the steps in the article, sure. If there are things you can't do in the article, don't get discouraged. Just start small and work your way up to the bigger challenges.

No, because Goku is a super Saiyan. You can be almost as strong, however, so don't let that bring you down!

Yes. You will not have to be big and strong. You will be lean and agile, built like a ninja.

Yes, it is possible.

Yes, but keep in mind you must be a Saiyan. I am a Saiyan but sometimes my parents don't let me kamehameha because it is very loud and destructive. Even if you are a Saiyan, I wouldn't recommend this move unless you are in a fight.

Yes, if you try your best, stay determined and not overdo yourself, then your goal to become like Goku is already set.

You can really just say "Kaioken!" and keep fighting. Try not to feel any damage to yourself while using the technique.

Take a martial arts class. They will teach you how to defend yourself.

If you train hard enough and long enough, yes. But remember that it takes time and effort to get defined abs.

A body like Goku's is impossible for a human to obtain because he can withstand bullets and is basically indestructible.

Yes! It doesn't matter that you have cerebral palsy as long as you believe you can do it. Goku has no limits and neither do you.

No. You can only pretend.

You can try some light sparring with a friend you trust to work on confidence. Practicing technique is a good way to ensure you are ready for almost any situation. If you do some strength-training, you will almost definitely feel more confident as well.

Yes. It doesn't matter who you want to be; it's about whose fighting style you want to emulate.

You are not going to be a near-indestructible alien on par with Superman, you are just going to get really strong and be able to fight Goku style.
