Help with Kickboxing and training....

[energizer bunny]

Alreet lads/lasses, hope you can give me a few ideas on how to get the best out of my training time.

Ive started kickboxing a couple of weeks ago on a monday and friday, im realy enjoying it!! im going to start a lesson called combat conditioning hopefully on a wednesday very soon, this will include circuit,interval training, bag work etc..

that leaves me with 2 days tue and thur for another type of traing, i.e weights, kettle bels...etc etc

Any suggestions, different ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!!

Does sound weird i got some real kickboxing near my house, its a kenpo school that has kickboxing.

I really tough it was some kind of kickboxing tae bo type of thing but its really legit.

Lots of boxing, bag work, there is a ring too for sparring.

What sounds weird mate???

With three days per week devoted to strength training - Focus on basic major muscle group movements, ab work, and you should begin some conditioning / roadwork immediately.

Best,

Most places that advertise kickboxing class turn out to be tae bo, or fitness kickboxing.

Not the real thing

No its not a muay thai gym thats why i said started kickboxing, not muay thai..

its proper kickboxing with elements of Aikido, as far as i know, ive jst started and ive never done it before. You do bag, pad work, sparring,lots of technique. competitions available to enter if and when your ready. The instructor is WUMA european champion and seems to know what he is talking about.

Any answers to my question??

I'd do kettle weights...they are GREAT for over all strength....but don't over do it...the joints don't like it when you over do

Thanks for your reply mate,

Ive never used kettle weights before but ive read a bit about them and they sound like the way forward.

just reg. weight workouts work well... i assume your tryin to cut the weight, try bumping up the cardio... cardio, cardio, cardio... any type of fighting sports require it.

btw after you get tired of the lack of contact and realism in kickboxing, try Muay Thai.... it will compensate your need.

Aikido= crap

utterly worthless in any type of fight, professional or not... not tryin to flame, i just really dislike the art in terms of legit practical martial arts. ive had many heated arguements with practioners of Aikido. My main criticism of aikido is that it suffers from a lack of realism in overall training and competition. The attacks initiated are sloppy, and little more than caricatures of an attack. As well as weak attacks cause a conditioned response and result in underdevelopment of the strength and conditioning needed for the safe and effective practice of both partners. Basically, it just lacks all realism and practicality in modern fighting technique.

sorry for getting so off topic, i just REALLY dislike Aikido....

thanks for your reply, as far as doing muay thai i would have done it if there was a class in my area but unfortunately there is not. and no flame taken mate, as ive said ive just started and no nothing of aikido so im in no position to defend or attack it. it is mainly kickboxing with elements of aikido and i think i heard him mention droping the aikido.

Hey if you are trying to improve your boxing/muaythai/kickboxing i have a few things that can work well
Medicine ball throwing.. put your feet in a fight stance line the ball up on your right side.. throw it at a wall, and catch it.. bring it all the back and throw again
also paper throwing! this is one thing i tell all my new students.. wad up some paper (expensive equipment here) and throw it at your wall like you were "punching" this teaches you to throw your punches with your hips and core instead of trying to push them out with your upper body
shadow boxing... shadow boxing.. shadow boxing
classic road work is really getting worked out of the mainstream for boxers and fighters.. lean more towards interval training.. from doing 20 second sprints/10 second walks to .. one minute at 10 MPH and 30 seconds at 5 MPH
you want your body to focus on going hard and then recovering.. not can my body learn to go for one hour at a slow pace

(i teach muay thai and boxing)

Fedor and Anderson Silva are Akido practioners.........

[T_Own]

Fedor and Anderson Silva are Akido practioners.........

along with everything else.. like muay thai and bjj

[WARMachine]

Fedor and Anderson Silva are Akido practioners.........

Source?

And btw, when do they actually use it in MMA?


.... thats what i thought

[False Positive]

Jesus Christ it was a joke! That's not to say that two fighters of that caliber couldn't possibly take something useful from a practice such as akido. Its an ever evolving sport that takes the best of every discipline. Would it really ruin your night if you found out in fact that while Fedor was smashing the best in the world that he once "used" akido?

No it wouldn't ruin my night... Because you dont "use" Aikido, you can practice it as a martial art...

And it doesnt really matter if they used it anyway, it doesnt make it a a legit practical martial art, im sorry it doesnt, even if the two best fighters in the world did (which they do not) use it.

Jesus Christ it was a joke!

Pretty lame attempt at humor.

U COULD DO THIS ROUTINE...IT WORKS GREAT FOR ME...

Tuesdays:

Barbell overhead squats, warm up sets, then 2x6 reps
Incline barbell press, warm up sets, then 2x6 reps
Deadlifts, warm up sets, then 2x6 reps
Pull ups, warm up sets, then 2x6 reps
Weighted dips, warm up sets, then 2x8 reps
Bent-over barbell rows, warm up sets the 2x8 reps

NOTE: YOU ARE NOT USING ENOUGH WEIGHT IF YOU CAN STILL DO 2 OR MORE REPS AFTER THE 6.......

Round 1
15 Plymetric push-ups (Clapping push ups)
20 burpees
10 Tuck jumps ( i duno what other people call 'em but just jump and pull your knees to your chest)
------------------
Sprint 20 m
Jog back to wear i was
------------------
Round 2
15 triangle push ups
20 burpees
10 tuck jumps

Hope that helps.
