Fight Training

[Clover]

Here are some of the exercises I used to do while in Boxing:

Dumbell Endurance Jabbing: Basically, we used 3 pound dumbells (I did 5 pound dumbells at home cause I was bad in this area) and you would do 2 minutes of them at a time, constant 1-2's. Very painful if it's your first time, even if your a heavy lifter, this hurts cause we would do this 2-3 times, then do 30 second burnouts.

Heavy Bag Hitting Burnouts: 2 minute, 1 minute, 30 second, 10 second, burnouts on a Heavy Bag, going as hard as you can will do basically same as DEJ, except DEJ trains you to be lifting gloves too.

Speed Bag: Very fun to me, and it can get your punch harder, and makes your aim better. I'd advise starting out at 5 minute, non-constant, practices, and after like a week of doing this daily, go to a 2 minute constant.

Ab Wheel: Do 50 of these, and tell me your obs, abs, and tricep doesn't hurt, your first time, after that, it gets easier. Tip: Do them fast, less pain.

Kneel Ups: We did usually 250 of these at a time, these are really fun to me, cause it tests your ankle strength, and is kinda funny to look at each other sweating and just laugh.

Jump Roping: I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! but it's good for you, do 2-3 min constant with this, and your legs will burn.

Here are some things I do:

Shadow Boxing- Helps you visualize your opponent, and basically does same thing as hitting heavy bag, except your not really working your arms out as much as your training yourself to hit the opponent, this can be tedious cause some professionals do this for a long time.

Push-Ups, Sit-Ups: Can be fun, I don't do weighted ones, cause I prefer to do a lot of ones with just my weight.

Jumping Jacks: Fun, and can get you worked out if you get into it.

I do others, but them are the main thing's I have to say about fight training physically. Mentally, I'd reccommend Meditation, and Breathing Exercises.

Eh, I have never been in a martial art, I plan on becoming a master at Tai Chi and Ti Kung, later on in life, but that's more spiritual then fighting.

I am hoping to learn some other ways to fight, but I stay away from Karate, cause most of the kids that do that are very elitist in their thinking, they believe they are on a different "plane" of fighting then others, when usually they get their buts kicked in fights cause the other guy doesn't fight them 'correctly' lol.
