Re: Mat Fit Compared To Overall Fitness

i tend to have this same problem. Im extremely athletic, doing softball, volleyball, swimming, and 2 kinds of martial arts. And i've discovered that each activity i do requires a different kind of excercise. Such as , when i get home from shaolin , my legs are sore, when i get home from softball my arms are sore, when i get home from volleyball , my wrists are sore, etc. Doing something new may just require different muscles to be brought out. So , IMO , yes there is a difference between being fit and being "mat fit" .
