Bodoyweight Routine

[Luph]

So I'm new here, not much more to say besides what i want to ask.

Does anyone know a good body weight workout routine that can help increase explosiveness, muscle endurance, and speed?

I used to be taught Shotokan Karate up until I became a purple belt. Since then I have just been practicing my form. I am currently intersted in learning Muay Thai and Kung-Fu.

But I know that being in shape is one of the basics of martial arts, so I won't progress much as a fighter unless I can train my body.

Any suggestions anyone?

For the explosiveness, give plyometrics a try. Find a good trainer, tell them your goals, and have them set you up on a program. It should be only 2 days a week, unless you are breaking up the body into upper and lower work.

Check out a site calledcrossfit.com. They have a lot of bodyweight stuff and simple to do exercises. You can certainly get good info there even if you're not going to utilize their whole program.

Two websites for you to play with

BeastSkills.com

Bodyweightculture.com

Crossfit is one that is very good. Also RossTraining.com is good, he used to be a boxer so pretty good for the old martial arts specifically here.
