Wheezy Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 As a Martial Artist in general what should one focus on? Fast twitch muscle or endurance like?If both would this workout be safe or help me become a better/more effective martial artist?http://www.teenbodybuilding.com/brent2.htm *Btw I'm 13/14 years old, some what in the middle of it hehe..*[/url]
UseoForce Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 Actually, this is a decent workout. This one focuses more on endurance than power, which is fine. Endurance is a big deal for me when it comes to martial arts. I can't count the number of times I've submitted people because they got tired but I was still fresh. This program does assume you already have some fitness. Can you do 3 pull-ups? If it works, use it!If not, throw it out!
bushido_man96 Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 You will need both to cover all of your bases in the martial arts. Strength for the individual techniques, and endurance for sparring/fighting. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
Wheezy Posted June 28, 2006 Author Posted June 28, 2006 What can I add to that workout which will give me some strenght? and yeah im pretty fit.. or I should get into shape before that workout.. *I have an average endurance* thanks
UseoForce Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 Developing strength requires progressive resistance, which usually means lifting weights. I suggest reading some of the older threads in here, since we have discussed this many times. If you still have questions, PM me. Or, better yet, PM Sohan or Aodan. They are very knowledgable about these things. If it works, use it!If not, throw it out!

ShotokanKid Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 Looks like a good workout. I've seen that before. Too bad I don't have a pool.

Aodhan Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 What can I add to that workout which will give me some strenght? and yeah im pretty fit.. or I should get into shape before that workout.. *I have an average endurance* thanksAt your age, I would work more on technique and speed, and get the endurance up as much as you can. There will be plenty of time to work on the strength later.As you work on strength, many times the type of training you do will de-emphasize the training of the fast twitch fibers, which will in turn decrease your speed slightly. This is what gives the rise to the myth that muscle makes you slow. (If you want a refutation of that, look at the world class sprinters. Almost to a person, they are just this side of show quality builds).Work on the speed and endurance, at your age you won't be in too many situations where that won't work the best, then work on strength in a few years when your main growth spurt has finished.Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player
