After tuning into the Infinity Castle movie, I was completely called out to do the Akaza workout.
Even before becoming a demon, Hakuji was a force to be reckoned with — possessing superhuman endurance and strength that made him an absolute monster in martial arts. That same power translated when he became a demon, amplifying his technique and intensity to terrifying levels.
In this episode of our Anime Training Series, we’re channeling the raw power and relentless will of Akaza into a calisthenics-only training plan.
You won’t need a gym. Just your bodyweight and a warrior’s fighting spirit. This plan will help you stay conditioned and physically primed like Akaza — explosive, precise, and built for battle.
Akaza’s Physical Stats
Name: Akaza
Height: 5’8”

Master-level martial arts and hand-to-hand combat

Training Principles
Fighting Spirit: This principle is more philosophy-based. Understanding Akaza’s reason for pushing his limits is important — it came from loss and grieving. Now, I’m not saying that’s the only way to build a body like Akaza, but it’s important to find your reason to train. Whatever it is, hold on to it. Don’t lose sight. Put everything you’ve got into each training day so you can develop peak fighting spirit.
Soryu Martial Arts: Akaza mastered his own body through the Soryu martial art style. We can blend bodyweight training principles with this fighting technique to shape the workout plan. Prioritize no wasted movement. Keep your reps clean. Focus on core development and power output at maximum effort. This also ties into his Blood Demon Art — merging shockwave manipulation with Soryu. Being powerful in all limbs is key.
Technique Development / Compass Needle: The core of this ability is muscular sense — also known as proprioception. That means muscle awareness, balance, control, and the ability to scout weak points and adjust in real time. To reach that level of control, we’ll rely heavily on stance work and static bodyweight exercises that sharpen your ability to move with precision and intent.
