Traditional Martial Artists of the World – UNITE!

Posted on by

Traditional martial arts all have a long history of intense, sometimes downright brutal, physical training to forge the warrior’s combative body, mindset, and spirit.

This training has, up until very recently in history, never been optional. If you did not have the strength of will to endure it and push through then you simply did not make the cut and were not taught higher level skills. Not that you would be considered somehow unworthy or anything silly like that, but you would be thought physically incapable and therefore not worth the teacher’s time to train you.

Each school of martial art had its own type of tanren or forging process to harden the aspiring martial student. Continue reading →

8 Reasons Why YOU Need Striking Power

Remember, striking power is not just about hitting harder; it’s about hitting smarter.  Here’s a few reasons why this program is something you should incorporate into your martial training:

 

  1. New, innovative exercises to push through plateaus in your training and stave off boredom.
  2. The right tools for the job – low tech / high yield!
  3. Teach your body how to increase force production through stored elastic energy rather than recruiting more tension.
  4. Efficiency is the key to preserving energy levels.  Efficiency is defined as useful work over total work.
  5. Coordinated whole body power in 3 dimensions.  Life, sport, and martial art happen in 3D – the same old 2 dimensional exercises are NOT up to task!
  6. Specifically develop angular and rotary strength to augment and assist prime movers.
  7. Target postural and stabilizer muscles to strengthen structure behind the strikes.  You can‘t fire a cannon from a canoe!
  8. Solo training is the key to martial greatness – how do you train?

Conditioning for Striking

Looking for a great way to spice up your conditioning work and make it more martial arts specific at the same time? Give this workout a try! What you will need – wave bag, double-end bag, heavy bag lying on the ground (you can make substitutions as needed). 

There is no real set/rep scheme for this workout. Just perform three 5-minute rounds, or five 3-minute rounds, depending on your level of conditioning, with 60 seconds of active recovery in between.

You are free to move from one piece of equipment to the next and back, as you like. Spend as much or as little time with each. The goal is continuous movement. Use any strike or kick you like on any and all of the stations. The heavy bag lying on the ground provides not only a way to practice choking, striking and kicking on the ground, but an obstacle to leap over, roll over, and maneuver around while working the other bags. If you get stuck and don’t know what to do next, do body-weight squats or jumping jacks until you figure it out. Don’t try to think so much! If you get stuck again, do push-ups. Be creative. Have fun!

Notes: Make sure you warm-up with brief joint mobility session prior to the workout.
