Goju_boi Posted August 17, 2005 Posted August 17, 2005 They train the muscles to contract harder and more explosively, which increases power output.therefore harder punches and kicks? https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu
Goju_boi Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 gotcha,but will plyometrics make you stiffer because of making them contract more? https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu

Goju_boi Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 not for me but i streach alot AMITABHAso do I,but for the person that doesn't stretch as much as we think we do.Does it make them stiffer? https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu
elbows_and_knees Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 No, it does not. you aren't training to keep a constant contraction - like you would if you were a body builder. You are training to contract harder at the moment of contraction. There is a difference. Also, in order to be so big and strong that you are stiff, you have to be HUGE. There are several body builders who can do a full split...
Goju_boi Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 why would a body builder need to be able to do the splits? https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu
elbows_and_knees Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 why does a MA guy need big muscles? They don't, but there are plenty who have them. same thing. they don't NEED to be able to do the splits, but that doesn't mean that they aren't into stretching and flexibility. Heck, they coulda been tkd black belts when they were younger... When you are talking about physical activity, there is a lot of crossover in a lot of different things. A friend of mine is a dancer, but she really likes the speed bag, so she uses it. Such is life.
