What is GPP?

The first step in ensuring you are building martial skills on top of a solid foundation is General Physical Preparedness (GPP).  The goal of GPP is enhanced work capacity.  This is the ability to run faster, jump higher, and hit harder.  When work capacity increases, it allows the budding warrior to adapt more easily to increases in both mental and physical demands.  In other words, it increases your capacity and level of readiness to absorb higher levels of specificity in training.  In order to be more, we must become more.  When talking about the martial arts, which tend to be seemingly limitless, one must possess the physical, mental, and spiritual endurance to “keep going!”

Moving From GPP to SPP

While the goal of GPP is muscular adaptation and general readiness for training, the main focus of SPP is neurological adaptation – to train movements, not muscles.  Specific Physical Preparedness builds on GPP by increasing the development of characteristics necessary for a particular sport or activity – or, in our case, martial arts. It is a uniquely designed and targeted system for enhancing strength, flexibility, endurance, and conditioning which builds on the GPP base by furthering development in the exact physiological profile of the martial art.  Therefore, GPP helps to make you effective while SPP makes you efficient. The end stage goal is of course to be both effective and efficient in each and every movement.

The Training Process Cycle

If your strength and conditioning program is stuck in the GPP phase of development then you may not be realizing the type of performance gains that are possible with a specifically crafted SPP level.  Strength and conditioning training must eventually approach as close as possible to the demands of the activity to maximize the training effect.  Since your body adapts specifically to the stresses placed on it, you improve according to the type of training you do.  This is exactly why your training program must cycle through from the general to the specific.

Why are They Different? 

What made these men different?  What pushed them to greatness?  What did they do differently or more productively that propelled them to prominence?  Why were their names and storied passed down through the years, sometimes centuries?  In essence, what one factor do all great martial artists have in common regardless of style, country, or culture?  And, more importantly, how can we learn from them and apply it to our own training?  Remember, we stand on the shoulders of giants, not to imitate them, but to be able to look farther.

 Quotes from the Greats

Instead of listening to my opinion today, why don’t we go directly to the sources themselves?  Here are some cool quotes I’ve complied by some of the greats talking about their own training. 

Morihei Ueshiba – Aikido 

“The instructor can only impart a small portion of the teaching; only through ceaseless training can you obtain the necessary experience allowing you to bring these mysteries alive.  Hence, do not chase after many techniques; one by one, make each technique your own.”

“Always imagine yourself on the battlefield under the fiercest attack; never forget this crucial element of training.”

“This old man must still train and train” – said shortly before his death.

Gozo Shioda – Aikido 

“Kokyu power is produced when we push ourselves to the limit, making the most efficient use of the capabilities that lie within our own bodies.”

“Even though the body has its limits, until your death, the strength of your spirit is limitless.  This is precisely why, in the martial arts, there is no such thing as deteriorating as you age.”

Yukiyoshi Sagawa – Daito Ryu 

“Intermittent training, no matter how intensive, is utterly useless.  You must practice every day for your entire life.  That, and only that, is true training, or shugyo.”

“People who think they can ignore training their bodies and only work on techniques are amateurs.  They don’t know anything.  Actually, if you can’t prepare your body properly, you have no hope of ever perfecting your technique.”

“No matter what level of mastery you attain, you will never achieve perfection.  You should therefore never, ever assume that what you have achieved is good enough.”

“If people knew what my training regimen was like, they would be astonished.”

Masaaki Hatsumi – Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu 

“Modern budo students often forget to practice by themselves.  I used to practice by myself.  When there was no teacher, I found the secret teachings by my own desire.”

 “Studying for oneself and making one’s own discoveries is much more important than group learning, and this applies equally well to martial arts.  As I often say, ‘Life is all about solitary training.’  This is because I want serious practitioners to discover the tricks of the trade for themselves.”

Miyamoto Musashi – Niten Ichi Ryu 

“From the time I was young I have set my mind on the Way of Martial Arts, practiced the one subject of swordsmanship with my entire being, and experienced various and different understandings.”

“See to it that you temper yourself with one thousand days of practice, and refine yourself with ten thousand days of training.”

“Never depart from the way of martial arts.”

Yamaoka Tesshu – Muto Ryu 

“Study hard and all things can be accomplished; give up and you will amount to nothing.”

“If you want to obtain the secrets of such wonderful techniques, drill yourself, harden yourself, undergo severe training, abandon body and mind; follow this course for years and you will naturally reach the profoundest levels.”

3. Why Can’t You?

The Warrior’s Key to Greatness – The Way Lies in Training! is an original post on the Warrior Fitness blog. If you are not reading this on WF, please visit today to support the content's creator.

In my teacher’s and my own dōjō (道場 – “martial arts training hall”) we spend a lot of time cultivating our skills as uke. An uke (受け) is a martial arts student who, during a given training session, “receives” a technique from another student acting as the tori (取り). Wikipedia defines the difference as one “who completes a successful technique [tori] rather than who initiates one [uke].” Having a good uke as a training partner is very important, but being a good uke is paramount.

The role of uke often gets a bad rap. Too many times I have seen students relegate themselves to becoming little more than an “I attack, then stand around while the other guy does something to me” participant. When it’s time to be uke, the “pause” button gets pressed and human punching bags are born. That doesn’t seem right, does it?

It certainly doesn’t feel right, at least not to me.

Here’s the reality check: if 50% of your training time is spent as an uke, which I hope all of you do, but 100% of your focus and concentration during your training occurs only when you are the tori, that means you spend half of every training session doing absolutely no training at all – 0%!  Does that make sense? Or, perhaps it’s better to ask, “should that make sense?” The 10 years of training you are so eager to talk about during parties and social gatherings is realistically closer to five years of actual time. Humbling, isn’t it?

Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.

– Vince Lombardi

With a small change in your approach to the responsibility of being a good uke, you can double the effectiveness of your training without doubling the amount of time you actually train. Here are some suggestions on how you can do it:

Engage and Communicate

First and foremost, be an active and willing participant. Engage and work with your tori in a way that provides direct feedback on several levels – physical, mental, and spiritual. You should be working together and helping each other, so let your tori know exactly and specifically what he is doing wrong and what he’s doing right. Even small hints go a long way towards perfecting a technique. But don’t over communicate; say just enough to help him figure it out on his own.

Move With Clarity

My teacher often stops us in the middle of a technique and asks if we are aware of what certain body parts are doing. It keeps us on our toes (pun intended) and gives us the reality check we need to see if our taijutsu (体術 – “body movement”) requires more clarity and better integration. For example:

• Are your hips open?
• Are your knees bent?
• Are your knees over your toes?
• Are your toes spread apart and gripping the ground?
• Are your feet pronated or supinated?
• What is your right hand doing?
• Where is your left foot pointed?
• Is your back straight?
• Is your neck craned forward or properly aligned with your spine?
• When you are finished punching or kicking, are you leaning forward so far that you can’t left your front leg?
• Is your punching arm locked or slightly bent?
• Are you supporting your arm with your bicep and triceps or your shoulder and lat?
• Are you supporting your leg with your hamstring and quads or your hips and spine?

Take this opportunity – take every opportunity – to clarify the biomechanics of your movement.

Realistic Attacks

“You fight the way you train” is a popular saying in our dōjō. Put another way, “You protect yourself and others the way you train.” Punching six inches too far away from your tori is not effective. It’s a great safety measure to avoid lawsuits from overly-protective parents, but it’s not realistic. When you punch or kick at your tori, do so in such a way that he will get hit if he doesn’t move. Don’t knock him out, of course, but “remind” him just hard enough that he didn’t move in the right direction or with the correct speed and timing. It not only helps your tori to respond accordingly but also trains you to use the proper distance. Be focused and punch with reduced power while maintaining the same intensity and intention as you would when punching at full strength. You can have 100% intensity without 100% speed and power; you don’t want to hurt anyone during training.

Use Active Resistance

Present enough of a puzzle so your tori has to work to solve it. Just enough resistance, just enough force, just enough of a challenge. If he’s trying to apply a technique but not quite getting it, coach him through the correct movement while maintaining active resistance so he can feel how it works. Once he starts to “get it,” change the angle and direction slightly so it doesn’t become a rote exercise.

Be Willing to Get Hit, Locked Up, and Thrown Down

Let’s face it, not many people enjoy being hit. But we are studying “martial” arts, after all, so a degree of combativeness is ever present and should not be removed from your training. It is important to know what it feels like to be hit, locked, and thrown; you need to know that when you get punched you will survive and you can continue to protect yourself and others during an attack. Your tori also needs to understand what it takes to punch, lock up, and throw someone.

When you do get hit, locked, or thrown, approximate what your natural reaction might be and let your body be moved so flow is maintained throughout the technique’s execution.

Be Considerate of Skill Level

When training with new students you must accept that they don’t know as much as you do. Be mindful to not force-feed 800 things for them to remember every time they do a technique. New students should be allowed to get away with bad habits more so than seasoned budōka (武道家 – “martial artists”). (Seasoned budōka should not be allowed to get away with any.) Also take the opportunity to double-check and make sure you’re not guilty of the same mistakes you are trying to correct! If you are training with someone of similar skill, work in detail on the finer points and see if you can solve the puzzle together. If your tori is of higher rank, listen to what is being said to you and watch what they are doing.

Protect Yourself and Your Partners From Injury

It’s all about ukemi (受身 – “injury prevention”). Ukemi is not just rolling, flips, and cartwheels. Ukemi is also knowing how to protect your joints from injury when locked, being aware of where you’re going when you roll, are thrown, or fall, and also knowing when to not be thrown. If you get hurt you cannot train effectively, right? Be mindful of the dynamic between you and your tori and protect yourself at all times. Not overly-protective to the point of being impossible to work with, but protected and safe so you can continue to train.

Your ability to protect yourself also directly correlates to your ability to keep your tori safe. If you are not confident in your ukemi then there is a chance that you might respond in a way that ends up injuring your training partner. In the “real world” this also directly correlates to your ability to keep your attacker safe. Protecting self and others; all others, if possible.

Ukemi! Ukemi! Ukemi!

So Be a Good Uke, Won’t Ya?

In case you didn’t get the gist by now, being an uke is about your training just as much as it is your partner’s training. You might find that training as an uke, when done right, is actually much more challenging than training as a tori. Not only will you become a better martial artist, but your buyū (武友 – “martial arts friends”) will most assuredly become better, too. When you work together to cultivate a feeling of cooperation, support, encouragement, and hard work, that feeling spreads within your entire organization and the potential for progress grows exponentially. That is what training is all about, and it could all start with you working to become a better uke.

What is Endurance?

Endurance is defined as being able to keep going without fatigue setting in, or being able to push oneself through fatigue.  Essentially, it is the ability to resist or bear fatigue.  What is fatigue?  Fatigue is weariness or exhaustion from exertion, or the temporary loss of power to respond.  An equally critical corollary to the definition of endurance, especially for the warrior,  is that your level of endurance also determines how quickly you are able to recover between bouts of activity.  Combat, like life, does not happen at one constant rate of speed.  It is multi-faceted in nature.  There will be periods of brutally intense activity followed by lulls in the action, again followed by another flurry of activity.  Being able to use those lulls in action to recover is a critical ability for the warrior.

Steady state cardio, Long Slow Distance (LSD) training simply will not cut it.  Running on a treadmill may be appropriate for a hamster in a cage, but human beings require more.  Long distance running can be beneficial for mental toughness and/or active recovery, but it should not be the primary focus of a warrior’s endurance training.  So then how should we train to maximize our ability to endure?

Warriors Need to HIIT!

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is one of the best ways to train for endurance.  It will enhance all 3 energy systems in the body (2 anaerobic and 1 aerobic – see here for an overview), as well as prime the nervous system to recover automatically during lulls in activity.  Simply put, HIIT alternates periods of high intensity exercise with periods of rest and recovery.  It can be performed with almost any exercise and can be utilized both with and without equipment.  The variety and adaptability of this style of training is second to none in results.

How else does improving your endurance through this type of conditioning aid your martial arts training?  I’m glad you asked!  If the benefits discussed above weren’t enough, consider that having a high level of conditioning also aids in learning new skills.  How’s that possible?  To put it simply, when the central nervous system (CNS) is fatigued, the body cannot effectively process new skills, especially technically advanced skills.  So, in essence your lack of a general level of fitness and conditioning will actually impede your learning process as you will tire more readily and not have the ability to recover quickly enough during training.  Want to train more, at a higher level, for a longer period of time?  Want to get more out of your training time both at home and in the dojo?  Want to build new skills and enhance your technical arsenal?  Get yourself in shape!

Bujinkan martial arts are the wellspring from which my concept of Warrior Fitness sprung as a natural outcropping.  So as my philosophy of Warrior Fitness continues to evolve, it naturally gravitates to this type of structure for me to express it.  In keeping with the trinity of mind, body, and spirit, here is how I see it for Warrior Fitness:

Mind -Concentration and focus along with an understanding of the interrelationship of the exercises and how they integrate with and enhance the way we move in the world.

Body - Forging a strong body to carry us through the challenges we face. 

Spirit - Pushing the edge to consistently increase resistance to failure.

The Sanshin no kata consist of 5 forms which are called, Chi no kata (earth form), Sui no kata (water form), Ka no kata (fire form), Fu no kata (wind form), and Ku no kata (void form).  Those who have read Miyamoto Musashi’s famous work, Go Rin No Sho – A Book of 5 Rings, are most likely familiar with the terminology as well.  Here is how each is expressed in Warrior Fitness:

Earth - Building strength, stability, and structure in movement and stillness

Water - Freedom of movement through all ranges of motion, flow state

Fire - Metabolic conditioning to ignite fat loss and sculpt lean muscle

Wind - Breathing exercises to vitalize every cell in the body

Void - Pushing the edge of our limitless potential

Hone Your Mind, Invigorate Your Spirit, and Make Fierce the Body with Warrior Fitness!

Is Your Cup Already Full?

Another way we limit ourselves is by equating knowing with being able to do.  For example, when your teacher demonstrates a fundamental principle of movement for the hundredth, or maybe hundred thousandth time, do you smile smugly to yourself and think, “I know that already”?  Maybe you have.  I know I have.  I admit it.  But this type of attitude makes us lazy.  It lowers our skill level because it allows us to hold fast to the superficial without the hard work of plumbing the depths.  It lets us check those basic movement(s) or principles of movement off our mental list and move on to something more advanced; more worthy of our time (we may think)… big mistake.  If we were truly honest with ourselves, we’d be asking a different question.  The better, more appropriate question to be asking ourselves is -”how well can I do that?” or “How well do I truly understand those movement(s) bodily, not intellectually?”   This is hard though because most often the most authentic answer we can give ourselves is, not well enough.   Watch your teacher closely.  Look deeper.  Pay attention because there’s always more.  Be careful.  Practice.  Practice.  Practice!

Knowing is Not Enough! is an original post on the Warrior Fitness blog. If you are not reading this on WF, please visit today to support the content's creator.

General physical conditioning is essential for the warrior to develop a broad-based platform of strength, endurance, agility, coordination, and flexibility from which to launch and further refine skills. But, what exactly is strength? Strength is defined as “the ability of a given muscle or group of muscles to exert force against resistance.” It is a function of the appropriate muscles contracted by effective nervous stimulation. This alone, however, is insufficient. There are also at least five different sub-categories of strength which we will break down to give you a more complete understanding of the term.

 The first sub-category is Maximal Strength. This is the maximum amount of force that a person can voluntarily produce. Example exercises to cultivate Maximal Strength are: one arm pushups, one arm chin-ups, one legged squats, and heavy weight lifting. But what on earth does Maximal Strength have to do with Budo Taijutsu? Aren’t we training to only use as much force as necessary and appropriate to a specific movement or technique? Why would we need our maximal voluntary strength output when training for taijutsu fitness? These are all good questions. On the surface, it would seem like this sub-category of strength is a big “N/A” for us. What possible benefit could this particular strength quality have for budoka? To begin to appreciate the benefits of training maximal strength, we must first understand the different types of muscle fibers. Generally, when people speak about fast twitch and slow twitch muscle fibers, they tend to separate them out as two distinct types. This can be a little misleading due to the fact that muscle fibers are not either /or, but in actuality they appear to lie somewhere on a continuum between the two. Thus to emphatically state that one type or the other is predominate within certain groups of muscles can cause confusion. Because low intensity exercise, like jogging at a steady-state pace for example, does not activate the fast twitch (FT) muscle fibers, we must increase the intensity of the exercise to stimulate the motor units that contain the FT fibers. If the motor units are not stimulated, then no response occurs and no adaptation occurs. Fast twitch muscle fibers and slow twitch muscle fibers are both recruited in high percentages when performing maximal strength exercises. Maximal strength training creates potent neural adaptations which lead to increased intermuscular and intramuscular coordination. A side bonus for working on maximal strength with body weight exercises is that the majority of them that fall in this category also require balance, coordination, flexibility, and appropriate tension throughout the entire body. Examples include, but are by no means limited to, one arm push-ups, one-legged squats, one arm chin-ups/pull-ups, etc.

Does this mean that we should devote every training session to developing maximal strength? No – far from! As warriors, we must understand the different qualities that make up strength and learn how to apply them to optimize our fitness levels specific to our goals. Since our goals do not revolve around winning any Strongman competitions or Power lifting contests, we can relegate working on maximal strength to only once a week, at the most, or a every couple weeks at the very least, to reap the benefits. The rest of the time, consign maximal strength to its rightful place back in our strength and conditioning toolbox. Too much emphasis on maximal strength can lead to becoming muscle “bound”, as in bound, constrained, unable to move freely and without appropriate tension.

The second sub-category of Strength is Explosive Strength. This is the ability to produce maximal force (see above) in a minimal amount of time. Explosive strength? Jon, you’ve got to be kidding me! We don’t use explosive strength in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu! Really? Are you sure? Every time you leap, sprint, dive out of the way of an errant sword strike, or (and this is a big one!) use stored elastic energy to create power in your movement, you are using explosive strength. Sure, the terminology sounds like something that will adversely affect our taijutsu and that any serious budoka should avoid like the plague, but rest assured, that the much maligned concept of strength does play an important role in budo taijutsu and utilizing the strength exercises prescribed in this manual will provide a solid physical basis on which to build real skill. Plyometrics is a specific training means for developing explosive strength designed by Russian sports scientist, Yuri Verkhoshansky in the early 1960’s.  Closely linked to Explosive Strength are Speed Strength and Reactive Strength.

The third sub-category of strength is probably one of the most familiar to us. It is Strength-Endurance. OK; much better… now we are in familiar territory. Endurance is a concept that a ninja can relate to! This strength quality involves the production of muscular tension without a noticeable decrease in efficiency over long periods of time. Development of strength-endurance is a fundamental necessity for warriors, whether on the battlefield, in training, or just everyday life. A helpful analogy to keep in mind when applying the different aspects of strength training to budo is that they are like a recipe for success. All of the ingredients in any recipe are not utilized in the same amounts. A little bit of salt may be all that’s required to enhance the flavor, while a lot of flour may be necessary to provide the base. The same idea applies to strength training. Warriors will normally require a lot of strength endurance and cardio-respitory endurance, but maybe only a little bit of maximal strength development is necessary to round out their overall skill. “When effective methodology is used, exercises with resistance promote not only an increase in movement speed but also perfection of coordination, motor reaction, quickness and frequency of movements, the ability to relax muscles, development of local muscular endurance and an increase in maximal anaerobic capacity.” (Verkhoshansky, Special Strength Training – A Practical Manual for Coaches) The key here is in how these various strength qualities are trained. For martial arts, specifically Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu, we want to work exercises which emphasize intermuscular coordination of the whole body. Isolation exercises should be avoided as they are antithetical to what we are trying to accomplish in training. When performing all of the exercises listed here, try to use as little tension and muscular effort as possible; just enough to accomplish the task and no more. Try not to utilize general tension (tightening of the entire body) to carry you through the exercise. Since everything that we do acts as conditioning for our Central Nervous System (CNS), for good or for bad, we want to make sure our exercise philosophy is in harmony with our overall training strategy. Remember that in our day-to-day Bujinkan Budo training we are striving to perform techniques efficiently and effectively with minimal muscular recruitment, therefore our physical fitness training should not use a separate strategy.

Hopefully this short look at the various types of strength has been helpful!
