Zaine Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 This may seem like a cop out answer but you should work out all of your muscles (not all in the same day though). The best thing is to have a good balance through your entire body, not just focus on one area. Focusing on one are can create imbalance in your MA techniques. Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.https://www.instagram.com/nordic_karate/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archimoto Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I agree with Zaine.Although if I have to pick one it's my heart.I tend to focus on cardio when I'm in the gym.After that I do joint strengthening exercises which develop muscle groups in general but also reinforce your joints.

Nidan Melbourne Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 No one muscle group is most important. When at the gym you should work all muscle groups. But if you want a muscle group that is more important would be the heart and cardiovascular system. say you go to the gym 6 days a week and 1 rest day. 1 day on legs, 1 on arms/chest, 1 back, 1 cardio, 1 core & obliques, 1 everything, BUT you do cardio in every single on of the sessions not just your cardio day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjanurse Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 In my opinion, core strength is the most important because everything originates from there-kicking, striking, throwing, balance, etc.Everything else is secondary.
