Music while training?

[VespaGuy]

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.

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

We never train to music. Our instructor isn´t a very musical man.

For some, less-technical stuff we listen to music. Like shadow boxing, punching/kicking drills, footwork drills, etc.

[Breakdancer]

Techno, classical music or any good trance music is good for training somethign without many words tho

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??
