GhostFighter Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 What muscles (most important) should be advised to train in the gym for MA's? Everyday is a fight
isshinryu5toforever Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 In good martial arts? All of them. It depends on the style I suppose. If you focus on kicking, then by all means work on your legs. If you're a style that focuses a lot on grp strength and being able to push and pull people then work on the upper body specifically the shoulders, chest, and back. For all martial arts you need a strong core, so work the abs as well, but not just the upper and lower, the sides too. After you've done all that work though, you may as well work the rest. So, I think my second sentence still sums it up, all of them. He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened.- Tao Te Ching"Move as swift as a wind, stay as silent as forest, attack as fierce as fire, undefeatable defense like a mountain."- Sun Tzu, the Art of War
marie curie Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 I'd say legs.... Karate- Deep stances and strong base to do heavy strikes from. Kicks.Kajukenbo- Base, Speed, Kicks, SweepsJudo- Position, Lifting (Seo Nage), Sweeping, Reaping, Position.BJJ- Guard, Sweeps, OmaPlatta/armbar/triangle from guard-type moves. You suck-train harder.......................Don't block with your faceA good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. -Lao Tzu
Menjo Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Karate in argument of the post above, I agree with karate for leg strikes but I think karate muscle leg development should be use of control of the situation through leg strength.I find when I see more experianced shotokan practitioners, I've noticed they have built up forearms from hours of typical karate(shotokan) punches.In general, strong center body physique is important.So overall I think martial arts requires strength through the body and strong body connection.Like said before, it depends what style.

MizuRyu Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 The core... lower back, abs, upper legs... for the most part.. "They look up, without realizing they're standing in the palm of your hand""I burn alive to keep you warm"
marie curie Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Lots of views!!! I think that this really has to do with your body in particular (what are your natural strengths and weaknessess? how is your body built?) and your style.

Jay Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Everything leave no stone unturned it is only going to help you. For example you may do kung fu and therefore dont do as much grappling as say a judo person would, however if you have trained the whole of you body it will enable you to perform better when put in unfamiliar situations The key to everything is continuity achieved by discipline.
ki master Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 It depends on what style but I would have to say waist because your always moving "Now the valiant can fight; the cautious can defend, and the wise counsel. Thus there is none whose talent is wasted."-Li Ch'uan-
