Is Your Workout Really Enhancing Your Martial Art Training?

Every once in a while it’s fun to think about how much the exercises we train on a daily and weekly basis actually translate, or carry over, to the activities for which we’re training.  Depending on your training program this can either be a great way to confirm that you are moving in the right direction, continuing to make progress and see results, or it can be a bit disheartening to realize just how little what you are doing actually carries over to your chosen field of endeavor.  In the case of budo practice, like any other sport or physical activity, there must be exercises specifically crafted to enhance performance.  A solid base of General Physical Preparation (GPP) is necessary, but not sufficient.

After Class at Warrior Fitness Gym

Training here at Warrior Fitness Gym is so much fun that sometimes after classes I find myself still wanting to train.  Well, last night was one of those nights.

I’ve been playing around with 2 handed clubbell training in my own daily personal practice so I figured I’d put together a quick, impromptu workout for myself with this as the center piece. [Read more...]

To Stretch or Not to Stretch

When it comes to the question of stretching, there are opinions all across the spectrum.  Some experts contend that you should never stretch at all since it deforms the tissues, destabilizes the joints, and makes the body more prone to injury.  Then, on the completely opposite side of the scale, is the other camp which swears that stretching is an absolute must prior to any activity (up to and possibly including sex) as it is a way to warm-up the muscles to prevent injury.

So, who is right? [Read more...]

Preparing Ninja for a Mission

My name is Ichiro Watanabe.  I am a chunin, a middle level ninja of the Togakure clan.  Our small village is secluded deep in the mountains near Mt. Togakushi, otherwise known as Togakure Mountain.  I could tell you exactly where, but I’d have to kill you.  No joke, it’s a matter of survival for my family and clan.  You see the year is 1601, one year after the famous Battle of Sekigahara which brought Ieyasu Tokugawa to power uniting Japan.  There is still much to do, however, and the need for the services of our ninja clan is still very great.

Motivate Thyself!

Last night, about 8:30 PM or so, as I was driving home from dropping my daughter off at my parent’s house for a sleepover, I had the following conversation with myself (in my head, mind you!)…

ME: “I’ll workout when I get home no matter what time it is.”

ME: “Awesome idea!”

ME: “What if I don’t quite feel like it though?  Seems like a good idea now, but it’ll be late when I get home and I’m starting to feel a little tired… (hear the voice of Mr. Resistance creeping in there?)”

ME: “True.  Plus you’re getting over that cold too.  You might just want to skip it and go to bed instead. (Mr. Resistance is insidious!)”

ME: “Whoah… hang on there!  You already made up your mind to workout when you get home.  You WILL workout.  Don’t let that negative crap in your head.  Whassamada with you?”

So what happened when I got home?  [Read more...]
