shabz Posted August 14, 2002 Posted August 14, 2002 Well said Jack! The problem with alot of martial artists is that they do all the hard training and concentrate on technique,Fighting etc but forget about the most important thing... food you gotta fuel that body properly.One thing i keep hearing when it comes to abs is" do leg raises" but leg raises dont work the abs they work the hip flexors, ok your abs tense when doing them but your abs arent attached to your legs??? take it easy! pain is temporary, pride is forever!
KickChick Posted August 14, 2002 Posted August 14, 2002 You'll find lots of posts on abs and loosing fat around the middle in these threads (although if you look through the H&F forum you'll find lots more) Seems the abs are a very popular topic! http://www.karateforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3630 http://www.karateforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3731 But more importantly as martial artists we need to concentrate on the "core muscle group" and train specifically in that area. Check http://www.karateforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3676 .... as I feel this is truly a worthwhile workout for all martial artists (if you can handle it!) Now as far as how long you can train in MT? ... hmmm, good question So is "How long can you train in Tae Kwon Do, or Shotokan ...or etc. etc. It's hard when the mind says YES and the body says NO .. I'm getting there and trying not to listen!
