I heard deadlifts and squats are good for kicking power in martial arts.
I been doing bodyweight training for some time, but i stopped, because not much time, and so i just concentrated on practicing kicks.
But i was wondering, whats a good routine for developing good in martial arts?
i do tangsoodo, which is simlar to takeonwdo, in that they both primarily use kicks.
I used to do some gymnastic workouts using the gymnasticbodiesWOD thing, and that was ok but it was too many workouts for me, 4 workouts a week + martial arts practice at class and at home + cardio + school work (which is alot nower days) is too much.
so i want something simple i can do.
Some things i could do, and can do now.
I can do i think atleast one pistol squat one, one rep max without assistance. I used to be able to do 3 - 5 reps, but i stopped for a while and im on 1 i think.
I can do about 11 - 12 pullups on my swing frame (which is quite a thick bar = harder :) )
i can do about 3 - 5 chest dips on the pullup bar. You know the muscle up? Well the top half of that, but instead of doing a pullup bar and a dip, you just do the dipping portion. So chest dips on a straight bar.
Um... i can do some back levers, front levers...
what can i do to improve, what should i do? I would like something simple.
BTW i cant do weights as
1) its expensive to affort weghts often at home
2) gyms around me are very expensive
3) the gym that i can go to only has dumbells and 3 benches and all machines
4) the gym that i hve to be 18 to go to, costs ALOT and does have the deadlift area etc... but its expensive, AND i have to be 18
5) even if it were cheap, it would be expensive to pay for both gym AND martial arts.
which is why i do bodyweight training.
