    Welcome to MAP.

    As you've posted this in the health and fitness forun I would say that it's a poor routine for fitness.

    10,000 punches in a horse stance can't be good for your joints.

    In addition not even top level pro boxers will be shadow boxing for 3 hours.

    Are you currently training in a martial arts class?

    No, it's not ok. It's absurd.

    Welcome


    However, I don't see how can anyone actually count 10,000 let alone maintain counting for 1/10 of that

    Hello Mugen Zero, welcome to MAP, hope you like it here. However, based on your first post, I tend to really question your work ethic as a troll.

    Suspect, to understate the point a little, that adherence is going to be a problem.

    Welcome to the forums

    This is great if you are planning to fight air, but if you want to get good at fighting people you have to fight people, not punch/ kick the air.

    If you are doing these on a heavy bag, its a little better, but still. A 10 minute sparring session will do more for your martial arts than 100 hours shadow boxing.

    Standing in horse stance, throwing one punch per second for three hours, sounds like a great recipe for a repetitive strain injury.

    I agree with the previous comments, but would like to comment on your sword routine. 1) What kind of sword? 2) Doing that many repetitions seems counter-productive. You're probably going to hurt your shoulders if you're using an iaito or any sword of significant weight. Just do some ichi no tachi exercises and some katas.

    This is how it would be:
    Day 1: 10(?) minutes of what you said, then you stop because of cramps in the legs and strange pain in the arms.
    Day 2: 5(?) minutes, then you realize your tendons are complaining heavily. Welcome to the wonderful world of tendinitis!
    Day 3: you can't move at all without feeling pain. You drop the routine and go watching Bruce Lee movies on your pc.

    The sensible alternatives:
    1)go watching the movies before getting injured
    2)find a decent martial arts instructor

    There was a time before I joined MAP when I would happily do around 1,300 techniques per night each night (just upper body) with resistance/light weights (1kg)/no weights. It really doesn't do anything for you. Initially sure, you can build a lot of speed, but around the 600 mark or so your body gets tired, your mind distracted and you lose focus with your techniques. So not only do you not actually work on the speed, you don't really develop any good technique either.

    Lasted less than two weeks in total because a certain someone I used to know endorsed that kind of training. I gave it a fair try out of respect to them. I still wish I hadn't.

    Hi Mugen Zero, appreciate that you're new to the forums, can you not delete your posts?

    Because what happens is all ^^^^^ that. Dead space.

    You have all the time you need that post what you want. So think about what you need to say or ask before you do.

    Thanks.

    Have you talked to your instructor about your routine? What does she or he recommend? What do they think of it?

    no means of disrespect to any of you. Forgive me if it appeared i was trolling people. I just wanted to increase my speed. My current state:
    800 sets of punches in half an hour
    80 sets of kicks in an hour
    120 sets of blocks in 10 minutes
    60 sets of swinging my sword with one hand in 15 minutes

    Find a teacher.

    Sorry if that is blunt but sword training is not something you should be doing without guidance.
