okey now that i've gotten all the critiques can you guys then recommend a training regime for a taekwondo/karate/aikido/muay thai practitioner?
I am sorry if my last post seemed harsh. But you have had several pages of people suggesting that that workout was not a wise one, yet pages later, you were still asking what people thought of it. So I laid it out clearer. Padding it seemed like it really wasn't getting across. And, unfortunately, your last request suggests it still doesn't seem like various peoples advice is getting through. Since you are still describing yourself as a practitioner of arts you have not studied under a qualified instructor.
I'm afraid this isn't a regime, it's a warm up. Sit ups don't target the areas you think they do, so you're not pushing your abs anywhere near hard enough. 10 seconds to hold a split isn't anywhere near long enough, so your flexibility will never improve. I have to agree with the others, you need proper tuition.
The irony of the first list is that it would actually be easier (and also not impossible) to attend a martial arts class.
To much pushing, not enough pulling! You need to do some sort of rowing movement to keep your shoulders healthy. Ditch some of the crunches (the reverse ones are OK) and add some planks and side planks. or better yet: Do this^. Also, check out some of the Training logs here on MAP for some ideas.
just got the book. Sorry if i repeated the question, actually i wasn't referring to me if i did complete the training but it's okey. Sorry again if i agitated anyone or annoyed anyone.
umm the ten seconds is more like 10 counts. we do this for taekwondo warm up. and yeah you're right Simon it is a warm up, i probably should have mention that part. umm currently i'm at the second week so it's fifteen counts. Counts as in depending on my own counting i guess so technically it's more then ten seconds.
It is still unfocused in intent - almost "exercise for the sake of it" What are you goals/aims/aspirations? Cardio? Size? Strength? Explosiveness? All require different types of approach
hmm I am curious about what kind of exercise you do for explosiveness, cardio will help too, i assumed you get the size from warm ups.
my goal is basically to exercise every part of the body, my aim is to achieve explosive power i guess. And for the guys who told me to do tuition, i can't because here in malaysia, either i can't find it or can't afford time or money.
but i will consider it once i am financially stable on my own, and also have the time to perform it. So don't worry i'm taking your advices. the taekwondo and aikido i had to stop for my final examinations of high school and next year i'll be too old to join under my parents the country club the martial arts were under unless i can afford 15000 ringgit for membership.
Umm you mean the gymless book Hannibal? yeah i got the book right now thanks by the way again. and yeah it did help to answer my questions, Umm so does that mean my taekwondo warm up is not efficient by the way?
A warm up should prepare your body for the upcoming task - the aim is not to tire or weaen your body prior to training In VERy basic terms you cannot process and perform a skill at the same level if fatigued too much; as a learner/beginner this can be detrimental as you will have poor form and pick up bad habits easier if exhausted from a warmup
good point i should probably tell the other instructors but then again this is how the grand master and his son warmed us up. not my training regime but basically something that tires us up considerably before practicing katas
You are saying no one teaches any MA there at all? I don't believe that. In fact, didn't some guy on MAP post youtube practice from his CLF school? And if you don't make it a priority with your time and money, then it isn't very important to you. If it isn't a priority in your life, you certainly are not going to unite people who DO make sacrifices of time and money to practice. The overwhelming majority of the time people say they cannot afford it, it turns out they can, but spend money elsewhere. We have plenty of High School kids with tons of exams who also find the time to practice at my school. I have known some who happen to be taking college level courses in high school and still come in and practice. Once when I was tight on money, I took a second job to make sure I could afford my MA training. Stayed up alll night once a week on top of working fiull time. Took that overnight job because it didin't conflict with my work or training, say except I was kind of tired a day or two afterwards. If you make it a priority, you will find a way to devote time and money to it.
