Conditioning all striking surfaces you may use. if your gonna punch someone with your fore-fist strike a heavy bag 100 times a day with each hand fast as you can with increased strength and speed as you get closer to 100. This also teaches you proper breathing techniques. If your gonna use your knees elbos feet finger tips what ever repeat the training. Most important don't hurt yourself it slows your results go slow and soft until the results improve.

Kata other have said it and they are absolutely correct. Do the kata as slow low and with muscles as tensed as you can make them. If you don't finish sweaty your not doing anything. Soon as you finish that do it as fast as you can with proper form. Repeat till results are attained.

Repetition is the key to technique. Muscles and mind commit a movement into memory usually after 10 movements. It isn't usually an effective movement till about 100 repetitions. It isn't a refined movement till about 2000 repetitions. It isn't seemingly instinctual movement until 5000 repetition. (results from 2003 study of muscle memory by john hopkins university)

Power speed endurance training? Well if your going to cross train keep in mind what your training for.
Don't run 3 miles everyday it won't help you with martial endurance. Sprint fast as you can far as you can without breathing, when you cant go any longer walk and try to slow down your heart rate and get your breathing under control, then repeat. It will help you with burst speed endurance and mental control of the body, more importantly striking power comes from speed. You will develop more speed and articulator muscle.

Power depending on your art, you may need strength in case you have to muscle a throw or you just need to to get someone off of you. Weight train pick a high weight and do dead-lifts and military presses with a free weight. Go till you can not physically lift the bar anymore but try anyways till you have to just drop it. Stretch your muscles out for 10 mins and repeat till you can not even lift the bar to do 1.

Lastly always stretch, before a workout after a workout or when your board watching tv.

there is my 2 cents

Oh ya and trying to make babies but make sure that you cant is awful good conditioning.

Running Long Slow Distance helps build your capacity

But when it comes down to it, Intervals are the way

I don;t like the idea of lifting to failure though. Either High Reps low weight (3x15-20) , or high weight, low reps (5x6, 4x4)

Now bodyweight stuff, I like to do till failure. I often do Pullups to failure.

Push muscles to point of absolute fatigue and you will see results. picking a number and going till its met teaches you to cop out ^^

We have professional weightlifters and trainers that consult with us all the time at our place.^^

Lifting to failure ensures that the muscles are exhausted and thus faster/bigger gains. It's also riskier though as correct form tends to break down from muscle fatigue, which is dangerous especially with heavier weight. I like to lift in sets (where by my last set I'm lifting at my max till I finish the set or until I fail, whichever first) and then finish with an additional lift to failure set of lower weight (maybe half my max). *shrugs*

*sigh* I need to do more interval training, tournaments and scrimmages coming up...Gotta place more emphasis on conditioning.

Going back to the full contact thing, no gear, I meant no head, feet, chest or hands and shins, we have mouth peice and cup. I also should have mentioned that I practice Iron Body conditioning 3-4 times a week depending on my mood. I don't see why protective gear is so much more helpful since I accidently broke someones nose with gear. Just work on kicking hard kicking fast kicking torso mainly, faster kicks that way and less energy needed a few carefully timed head shots with medium to off full power.

I would reccommend either practicing technique/form first, or practicing it on a separate day from the rest of your workout. Why? Because when the body is fatigued, proper form breaks down, and you tend to get sloppy and take shortcuts. So practice your technique first while your still fresh. Don't practice your forms to the point of exhaustion, nothing good will come of it.

Hmm... interesting responses here. I mean, it really depends on what Martial Art you practice, cuz different arts call for different needs. But one that I really try to stay up on no matter WHAT I'm doing, is the stretching. Stretch stretch stretch. Keeps you limber, helps prevent injuries, and all that other good stuff. That, and the calestenics or however you spell it. Push ups, sit ups, and all that.... even if I'm lifting weights.

Well said. Warm up and stretch, no matter what.



Woglinde - I'd have to disagree. In most of the classes I've attended, making people do their patterns/kata at the end of a grading was a standard technique. Precisely because technique does break down when you are fatigued. It'll really show up any faults that are there, so it is worth practising when very tired

Btw, you shouldn't kick an elbow if you're kicking right

During TKD days, with special emphasis on points. I.E. It didn't matter if your leg was travelling upwards at the point of impact, just that you hit.
If I did it these days, I'd probably slap myself xd

Do you kick higher than waist height at all?
Since I am tkd I kick to the head beacuse it is worth more points in krva maga I don't.
