If you're not sure you'll benefit from it, but your not going to be able to last as long as you would with a good aerobic base. The same theory applies to martial arts forms. Sure anyone can perform a basic form, but you need to establish a foundation (ie. stances and basics) first before you can perform any forms or techniques properly and proficiently. When you build a house you have to start from the ground up. If you were building a house, would you start with the roof first?
-What does every great athelete do to prepare for their chosen sport? What does every great pugilist, every soccer player, every wrestler, every baseball player, every great football player have in common? They all run. It has to be done if you ever want to excel in any (physical) sport. ----- Yurich, (2002)
