 |
|
The people who use these fourms have pretty good backgrounds in the martial arts. Everybody seems to augment their basic martial arts skills with some purely physical training exercises for strength, cardiovascular efficiency, and flexibility. Could we debate the ideal ratio between pure physical training and trainng that emphasizes martial arts techniques? I have heard that boxers spend five and half to six hours a day training for thirty days prior to a match, but only thirty-five minutes of this daily training is on punching a heavy bag typically, as the rest of the time is spent on running, jumping rope, and sparring (which doe help with punching in a different way than heavy bag work). Essentially, one-third of a boxer's time is spent on punching, evidently (can anybody verfiy this?) What is the ratio that other people use between purely physical training and training on martial arts techniques? Bruce Lee used to work out 15 hours a day at the peak of his training, and this included thousands of technique repetitions over a period of hours. What's the right balance?

yep..  only 2 hours of judo a day for 3 days a week.. the rest is free weights and running.. and I have a bike tire tube, cut it and tie it around a tree and practice resistance throws.. after doing that for about a year I felt like I could probably throw anybody of any weight..  |

I have seen those resistance bands for throws. I thought they were a pretty cool idea. A Wrestler showed them to me once.
I think that being in good physical condition is good, no matter what you do. Being in good physical condition will help to supplement any specialized training that you do, like MA training. Of course, MA training can supplement as good physical training, as well. However, most of the MA training that you do will be aerobic or anaerobic in nature, and will not increase physical strength in the same way that weight training will.
