“Lifting weights makes you SLOW”

[baconprince]

I do weights so it’s good to know this, Thanks

Man so many martial artists lock themselves behind the idea that they "dont need to lift weights because that will make them slower" and thats so stupid, 50% of your training should be strength and conditioning. Its just an excuse to be lazy but feel proud of themselves after going to two classes a week, missing out on something so important which is the reason they are behind their fellow fighters.

lifting weights makes you faster. Resistance is key. When your body gets used to high resistance, it is faster than usual when you have less resistance. That's why the heavier you lift, the slower you get.

I actually started lifting weights a little while ago and here are the most effective aspects of training for martial arts:
Strength Training
Plyometrics
( I say that because Plyometrics improves your RFD ( Rate of Force Development ) but it can only be as strong as your physical strength, so you have to train that too )
Calisthenics: works using body weight and allows for quicker punches and kicks
Cardio: both aerobic cardio ( low-mid intensity, long duration ) and anaerobic cardio ( high intensity, short duration, with usually low-intensity moving as rest ) are functional for combat sports due to needing to be constantly active but needing quick bursts of energy to lunge forward

Also some exercises actually make you faster. While you're practicing martial arts, you can do it weighted. Which will make your punches and kicks faster and stronger.

Thank you bro ive been struggling to decide if i should keep pumping weights while doing martial arts

[tulsibeepat]

Not to mention training the fast twitch and slow twitch muscles and stretching in-between sets I think you our course would do fine, I did basic yoga for mine 😁

Lifting weights really has a good benefit in martial arts, recommended 🎉

This is so true, I just started going to the gym, and it's been helping me alot, by building up my confidence, and my body is much more harmonized

Instructions unclear, i now look like this 🟠🏋️🟠

Check ✔️ ✅️, not too heavy though, obviously. I like to just use my body weight as resistance, chin ups, jumping push ups, push up and clap sort of thing. Seems to just work for me. Few sets thrown in there as well for good measure though.

No one is more dangerous than a lean and flexible strongman/bodybuilder who knows wrestling and muay thai

[DanieldaGama]

Your content is great, thank you for it!

[awari]

As someone who did bodybuilding before i started martial arts, i can say 100% that it is impossible to become too big by accident

Weights help make your arms because your arms is the one that is handling the pain, no pain = no gain is a great way to explain it because enduring pain just makes you stronger 💪

Include forearm workouts to your routine, is extremely important for the blocks and to punch with less risk of injury since a strong forearm will help maintaining your wrist in place
