knuckle pushups of coarse,
stand up, then widen your legs 2-3 shoulder widths. fall forwars to the floor and make a triangle with your thumbs and index fingers, now try to put your nose in that triangle and push yourself back up.
do tons of stretch's obviously. one leg in front of you, one leg behind you, curl your toes back, and bend forward head to knee, or as far as you can go...also both legs in front. or sit like your going to do butterflys, grab the inside of your foot, and reach for the sky, do this standing as well. Sit with your legs apart as far as you can get them, bend to your left knee, the center, then your right knee. Stand with your back against a wall, and try to pull your straightened leg up towards yourself. After sometime you can touch the wall behind you with your foot.
put a chair in front of you, with the back of the chair facing you..practice your round kicks.
run in the sand is possible, its good for stamina...cardio...we have tons of thick "sugar" sand here in central florida, so i do that often.
get a test bunny..err friend and practice all of your wrist locks, takedowns, throws, hip-tosses...ect.
forms, free spar, and 1-step spar at home with a buddy...dont get cought up in the free spar and try to kill each-other though.
Get a friend to stand on a chair and hold a kicking paddle, run and try to jump front-snap kick it...increase the hight every so often. its fun and helps you more than you think. (after its so high you might want to get a matt, you'll see why)
just some suggestions...
i took martial arts (tae kwon do) for fucken ever,started when i was 3. quit when i was a 4th dan (3rd degree black belt), i kind of wish i wouldnt have.
