VespaGuy Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 Since I'm not officially in a martial arts class because I'm poor, I really can't offially vote... but... When I train, I use both, but I train better with music. It gets me in a, well, "mad" mood and the beat basically flows through my body. Whereas if I didn't have music playing I'd focus on how much punching this or that will hurt or something. So, yay for music. 2+2=4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_2k3 Posted November 5, 2003 Author Share Posted November 5, 2003 I think music is really good while training but ONLY when your doing circuit training because it builds determination, i dont agree when your sparring or practicing katas because it makes martials arts seem cheap, i mean u never saw the shoalin monks training with music "When my enemy contracts I expand and when he expands I contract" - Bruce Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darce Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 We never train to music. Our instructor isn´t a very musical man. Shukokai Karate, Orange belt ( 7. kyu) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 For some, less-technical stuff we listen to music. Like shadow boxing, punching/kicking drills, footwork drills, etc. “Iron is full of impurities that weaken it; through forging, it becomes steel and is transformed into a razor-sharp sword.

aefibird Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 I listen to the following when I train or work out: 311 Marilyn Manson Mudvayne Slipknot Metallica Pantera Black Sabbath Guns N' Roses Nirvana And some others, but thats what usualy is coming out of my speekers I tend to slap on music like that when training at home. Practising kata's with Iron Maiden and the like in the background - top quality!! We don't have music on in my dojo when doing karate training, but we might have some on when we do a fitness/stamina session. Unfortunately, most of the music our sensei tortures us to is utter &*£^%" and should have never been made, let alone released on the unsuspecting public. Remixes of a bad remix, anyone??
