Hey guys, although training is going to ease up for christmas at the end of this week, im rather dedicated to improvement at the moment. Im training in kyokushin and won the Australian lightweight novice nationals recently. I want to keep in top shape and i have a hell of a lot i want to improve. i realise i cant go over the top, but im doing strength work in the gym, and going to karate 3-5 times a week, and im recovering from this ok. So, im thinking of gradually adding in extra workout sessions. i was thinking of the following routines:

 

Monday:

 

Skipping-2 minute light. 15 second rest. 2 minute pepper

 

Light stretching/light kicks

 

Shadow Fighting to loosen up

 

Heavy bag: Outside drill-circling both ways using jabs, reverse punch etc-3 * 1 minute rounds. 15 second rest

 

Skipping- 1 minute knee raises

 

Stretching kicks: Knee kicks, front, side, back. 10 each leg for each kick

 

Front kick: 20 each leg. Heavy bag: 15 each leg

 

Sit ups: 3 sets-varied exercises

 

Push ups: max

 

Conditioning- Stomach&chest-2 minutes

 

Deep stretching

 

Each day i will keep the skipping, stretching etc the same and i will change the bag work to:

 

Tuesday:

 

Heavy bag: Inside drill: Hooks, uppercuts, bob n weave.

 

Roundhouse: 20 each leg. Heavy bag: 15 each leg

 

Conditioning: Shins

 

Wednesday:

 

Heavy bag: Jabs

 

Side kicks: 20 each leg. Heavy bag: 15 each leg

 

Conditioning: Stomach

 

Thursday:

 

Heavy Bag: Speed drill(min 4 punch combos) Hard drill, speed drill.

 

Front, Roundhouse, Side kicks: Chamber/Hold kicks. 5 each leg.

 

Conditioning: Shins

 

Friday:

 

Bag workout: 3 2 minute rounds using all techniques
