I generally put my cramps down to my feet being cold - I get cramp in my feet when we do a full seiza bow at the beginning of class but not at the end when my feet are warm. I also think dehydration has something to do with it. Thanks for the tip!Sue Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16008609198511182782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361443425638782419.post-45449251232209884402010-01-25T23:00:31.796+00:002010-01-25T23:00:31.796+00:00Hi.

My doc said dehydration and low magnesium were the likely culprits, but, like you, I think it has more to do with being barefoot and using my feet to do things I never even dreamed of before. My dojo mates all use apple cider vinegar - just a capfull straight out of the bottle - to ease the cramps. I was skeptical, but it works INSTANTLY. Truly amazing! So much so that I now carry a small plastic bottle of it in my gear bag...<br /><br />Hoping your cramps have eased by now!Feliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09017194727231120284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361443425638782419.post-33861902393989822352009-04-14T14:07:00.000+01:002009-04-14T14:07:00.000+01:00I am not sure if I have "karate feet".

I spent too many years waitressing during high school and college. When it flares up...oh the pain. Before karate class, I need to make sure I stretch out the bottom of my feet.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317845403611730397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361443425638782419.post-70185142918445773142009-04-14T02:29:00.000+01:002009-04-14T02:29:00.000+01:00How is it going with the foot cramps?How is it going with the foot cramps?Miss Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10823824102742294403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361443425638782419.post-41023081183824660112009-04-09T23:30:00.000+01:002009-04-09T23:30:00.000+01:00I used to do NIA (non-impact aerobics) at the Y, w...I used to do NIA (non-impact aerobics) at the Y, which was always done barefoot, until I started getting foot cramps so bad I had to quit.
