Martial Arts Functional Training Exercises

hopefully. But remember you can be conditioned to go for a week straight and it still only takes one hit to knock someone out. So in match fighting with someone of similar skill sets then yes your are absolutely right

Comparing bodbuilders to fighters is like comparing apples to oranges. Of course a trained fighter will be better at fighting techniques. That said, if all else is equal, a good big man will beat a good little man more often than not. Don't discount the martial benefit of increased muscle mass and power.

nice vid but not everybody got is own gym

you have alot of space to exercise!

Critic know-it-alls... psh. The worst vice is ADvice.

Sorry dude, but there's a difference between a workout and and martial arts training.

If all of this is in the same workout, you are overtraining to an absurd degree. Plyometric training does not need longer than 15, 20 minutes maximum. You should do upper and lower body on separate days because of the punishment put on the nervous system. If you really are doing all this in one workout, you're just burning out your nerves and completely halting your training progress.

He is overloading. There's several ways you can overload, maximum weight till failure is only one. For example, speed training has you lift around 75% of your 1RM as fast as possible until your reps begin to slow down. You dont need to reach CONTRACTILE failure, you've already reached speed-failure. What you see in the vid is plyometric training, which is meant to stimulate the stretch reflex mechanism and neuromuscular activation. He is probably reaching failure in the height of his jump.

Nice Man. Keep training.!

and as for the skinny comments..
Bruce Lee put it best.

"A strong muscle is a big muscle"

Definately not the other way around :P

doesnt matter how much spaceu got thats just an excuse not to exercise this is using everything he can my room is small as F**k but i use everything in my room to get the best out of ecercising especially in martial arts

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Ignore the critics.

Cool Video Man! I like the heavy bag training. Now I can do something with it besides punching it. I will incooperate that into my workout for now on. Thanks Man! PEACE..

It means improving your ability to function at a particular sport. For example, I can ride a bike to improve my cardio fitness if I'm preparing to run in a marathon, however, RUNNING to prepare would be functional training, since it mimics the actual movements I'll be doing in the event. Functional strength also refers to a strength/bodyweight ratio.

You are stupid^^

Have to say I admire really his training style. Really, you don't need much of stuff to do the training. Simple and cheap ;) Really nice, good work :)

old school training, the most effective way

some good stuff here, nice training

Good workout, thanks for the inspiration. Your creativity is wonderful.

That would be true, but all else is never equal ;p
Even if you put them both at the same skill level of fighting.. the little and big guys both have strengths and weaknesses.

Most big men are sluggish and can barely manage their own bodies.
While the little man is fast, and can deliver punches and kicks more precisely due to easier muscle control.

However.. the big guy always has a chance to land that crushing blow that the little man cant take :P

It really could go either way

nice, some of the people commenting are ignorant, look at how much that guy can go, it's not like he just woke up one day and decided to do a hardcore workout, he had to build up to doing that.

You could be the biggest baddest dude you want to, if your enemy has superior conditioning to you.. you're finished.

FUnctional..
IE. to be useful for some purpose.

In his case he trains for MMA.

There's a massive difference between body sculpting.. and building stamina and strength for fighting.

It may shock you to find this out, but the majority of those super massive body builders are actually pussies in combat, because they're forced to do something more than lift a dumbell.

i say he is doin good, in martial arts sometimes ya have to overload if ya dont want to be a looser.

After this kind of training you'll have an advantage on the competition. When the over guy is getting tired you will have trained the specific muscles that are needed for that extra stamina.
