Anyone had any specifically fine results relating to Martial Arts training utilising supersetting?

I would be looking for something along the following lines:

Two super sets' for each target muscle group,

1) Compound exersizes

2) Isolation exersizes.

Doesnt matter which muscle group, just give me an example if you have had experience.

In the past, I have used supersets many times, but usually for opposing muscle groups and when I was more into "bodybuilding". As a martial artist, the only reason I would ever do isolation exercises would be if there is a lagging body part. Also, you don't want to fry your muscles by doing too much volume.

The only supersets I've ever been a fan of using were for grip. Of course, I don't have much of an attention span for lifting, or anything else for that matter. Regardless of how good of shape I was in, there hasn't been a time yet where I couldn't meet my goals with body weight circuits. Perhaps this isn't for everyone, but it seems much easier to me to "burn out" in the weight room.

I agree here. Also, along the lines of Liver Punch's suggestion, using bodyweight circuits, like burpees and mountain climbers on a tabata format, might be more conducive to your Martial Arts needs.
