Workout help

[Nunchez]

I've started kyokushin recently and I go everyday except on Sundays for one and a half hours each day. I wanted to know should I go to the gym and workout too along with the MA training?

Be careful that you do not overtain. Planning in rest days is as important as the trainng.

We have a triangle. Training, nutrition and rest and if one of those points is weak the rest will suffer.

We have many members here who combine martial arts and strength training/the gym and they will all tell you it is fine as long as you don't overdo it.

Balance is the key. :cool:

depends on what your strengths and weaknesses are and where you are in your training

strength and conditioning is only useful as a suppliment to your main training, most beginners can get good strength and conditioning just from doing their sceduled classes its only if you have a specific weakness or are planning on competing etc you will need extra work

And S and C work is only useful if it helps your main training if it starts effecting your main training in a negative way (tires you out, makes you sore) theres no point to it
