Isshinryufanatic Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I am a 6th kyu in Isshinryu Karate but want to cross train in boxing or Muay Tai to improve my striking and hand work. At what level in my root training (Isshinryu) do you think I should begin the cross training?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setboy Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 black belt or kyu right before it. But that's just me and most will say i'm nuts. And i got to say, i think Isshinryu has some of the best hands around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marie curie Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I'd say start cross-training once your first style becomes easy to pick up, remember and teach. Before that, it would be too easy to get wires crossed.

bushido_man96 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 If you feel comfortable beginning your cross-training now, then I would do so. The nice thing about Boxing or Muay Thai is that there won't be any curriculum to worry about. You will get some good conditioning, and lots of technique work. High repitition training that will help you out, I think. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the most devistating punch combos in the dojo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
