BladeLee Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Ive seen a few of em so far, and have asked fellow kickboxers what there routines are but i think ill come here and ask now for you muay thai or bjj practitioners, what kinda of routine do you do ? for leg strength, shin strength, power, speed, endurance, you name it and im interested heh ~BladeLee~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Vicious Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 i do alot of bag work. i've also just started a calesthenics routine that's giving me a better work out than weight lifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KickChick Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Sheesh that is certainly a loaded question and if I were to attempt to post routines to target all those areas I would surely have some sore fingers! But seriously if you do a search (most specifically in Health & Fitness forum) for "leg strength", "shin strength", "power", "speed", "endurance" drills .... you will surely come up with some threads on these areas! ... certainly these areas are not only Kickboxing/Boxing/Muay Thai-specific but are important in all areas of martial arts!

BladeLee Posted November 15, 2002 Author Share Posted November 15, 2002 Your completely right kickchick but i dont mean everything you do for those topics, just a few things. Ill name a few of mine ;)not all i do, but some of it. Leg strength - Lifting, Repetitive kicks on the bag. Shin Strength - Heavy bag, continous kicking , find a hard object like a wall and kick it with your shin for a while, hurts but i usually keep my mind somewhere else. Overall power - Lifting mostly Overall speed - bag work, jump rope, repetitive kicks/punching, sparring Endurance - Running(only when its warm out though) bag work, jump rope, boxing, wrestling ^^^^ just a small example it probably is alot to list but i figure if your reading the forums you probably dont have alot of other things that need done anyhow so ya might as well spend your time listing a routine hehe ~BladeLee~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteShark Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Kicking immovable objects only leads to injury DO NOT DO IT! I am so tired of seeing that specific bit of bad advice. Kick pads, kick bags, kick your friends don't kick walls trees or anything else!!! Rock Paper ScissorPunch Knee Kick^ME^ ^MY DOJO^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeLee Posted November 19, 2002 Author Share Posted November 19, 2002 haha im not injuring myself that bad whiteshark and i do it sparingly. The main reason I do do it, is so that my body kinda gets used to the feeling. I remember when I first started sparring years ago, and took shots to the shin, man did it hurt. Now i can take many shots and feel fine, and i believe this conditioning has helped a bit. Like i said, i do it sparingly, and not full force but thats just my opinion ~BladeLee~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeP Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Well the way I train is weight/bodybuilding in the mornings (Monday-Friday) pluss Cardio and stretching (Before and after). Evenings: Monday: Kickboxing/Krav Maga Tuesday: Kickboxing Wednesday: Kickboxing/Krav Maga Thursday: Kickboxing/Sparring(Kickboxing) Saturday: Krav Maga Krava Maga has a lot of Muay Thai Techniques pluss a whole lot more more. The stuff I do in Kickboxing and Krav Maga would take too long to explain here. I also train at home and sometimes with my friends from our gym.

NinjaMaster Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Thais dont kick trees they kick bags. You have to be dumb to kick walls thats just plain stupid and if your instructor promotes that then he is a nob and you should leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
