[@MrDavidgiar]

I find taekwondo quite challenging, whether it's for self-defense, competition, or proper form. It's difficult for me to remember everything at once, and although my instructor points out my mistakes, I only attend class once a week or sometimes even less, and I feel I'm falling behind in progressing to my yellow belt. The last time I practiced taekwondo was at the YMCA when I was 12 years old, which was 22 years ago. They conduct tests to assess what we remember. The class has a mix of students, but most are 12 and older, with instructors being 18 and above. I'm considering quitting so that I can focus more on myself, as I always rush to get there after work. I'm on a Social Security income, and it covers this martial arts class, but I'm thinking of trying Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I feel breathless while wrestling and lack proper technique. I want to lose some weight to improve my stamina before I consider it. The dedication and practice required for martial arts, especially outside of class, seem overwhelming. I struggle with remembering things without visual directions, and I'm better at understanding when someone shows me the move and I try it then and there.

[@MrDavidgiar]

Boxing is more beginner-friendly and easier than MMA, but both require dedication, time, and practice. MMA involves more thinking and problem-solving during practice, especially when actually fighting or sparring.

[@thinkingeveryday9990]

For those who Don't do both gym or in any clubs(i know there is alot of us) But here you go a basic intro to my session. , I like focusing on muscle that will be useful for my body n self defense(martial art) techniques. 1, Stretch. Nothing better than stretching first before doing anything, Do Whatever u learned on PE classes and searh up more from online. 2, Squats. Im not that disciplined so i do around 30 squat then horse stance hold for 30 second then walk abit and 30 more squat and ho horse stance for 30 second and repeat this until i have done around 100-120. 3, Push up. I do alot of these around 200-300 per day. Start with 5 push up Everytime ur not feeling it right. Focus on perfect push ups. I do about 50 perfect push ups 40 arch push ups and 20 knuckle push ups. 4, core and hips. I do cruches about 40-50(take break if ur not used to it) Sit ups around 100. Leg raises until u can't. Russian twister or something like that until u can't. Plank until u can't. Then go for a knuckle plank just try to hold it and be calm if ur nervous ull hurt ur wrist. Hold as long as u can. 5, Train i train techniques in-between these exercises. I mostly focus on boxing primarily. 2nd you can watch Nat's videos for some techniques (basically challenge urself to those techniques) i do mix abit of muay thai techniques like elbow knee head butts(sorry im not a ring fighter or amateur) so i just fight dirty. 6, Rest. I rest alot in between n continue to do it. I Don't worry about my body looks or stuff like that i just need to be strong from inside n able to draw out raw power from inside. 7, Do Cardio n dont be lazy. Be patient with ur body n relax when u exercise. I dont lift so i can't say much just buy gripper and jump ropes :v

I personally enjoy calisthenics as I feel they not only help with strength, but also with balance. Things like pistol squats, or one arm pushups (which i cant do quite yet), planche progression holds (as you were doing in the video), and quite a few other workouts can help a lot with balance, especially pistol squats. I also like to include one leg calf raises, which are quite experimental so I'm not sure if they're effective yet, but they seem like they could help balance overall. I also definitely like to include explosives in there, especially for kicking strength. I think that overall, it really is just personal preference, and in the end, the best is probably a mix between calisthenics and weightlifting, but for me personally, I'm sticking with calisthenics for now. I think that doing research is the most important thing to do when making a routine, so don't take everything I said as facts, and do your own research to anyone trying to make a routine. Great video as always.

ily bc i train as self defense and i win every time vs beginners or cocky ppl. u saved me by getting me into this stuff and it rlly workd by a mile

[@beniy_]

Quick tip: calisthenics skills are not meant to be held on a daily basis. Especially the move you used in the video which is a tucked planche. This is because these movements involve lots of joints and connective tissues in the body (which take up to 30 days to recover) and engage the central nervous system (which also takes a long time to recover). So instead, sticking with more basic calisthenics strengthening exercises will benefit you more if you're looking for longevity :)

[@isthi000ify]

Good mix, a stronger - fitter fighter will always be a better fighter!

[@timothykbishop]

Great video, you do a lot of work, good stuff 👍 I started doing powerlifting to improve my overall strength for taekwondo, and after 3 years on and off training (had 2 kids and moved states), I’m really starting to notice an improvement in the power of my kicks, without slowing down much at all. Lifting weights can definitely help improve your martial arts.

For explosiveness with kicks I been doing a lot of box jumps and also doing tendon and joint strength exercises like horse stance. I also LOVE rowing machines because it gives a full body work out, helps coordinate your muscles to work together and flow into each other (dont know if this makes sense but in my head it did lol) and it's GREAT cardio.

[@evgeniyushkov7103]

Guys,no matter what kind of martial arts you want to practice,you should understand that those arts are called martial for a reason.In order to do martial arts you need to make your body strong,fast,agile,durable and also have enough stamina.Some focus on few of them,some try to cover all traits,but those are essential traits for practicing martial arts.I actually train in style of cycle training with power exercises for more physical strength and more powerful attacks.I train my punches and kicks without sparring partner,but I mainly focus on my wrestling and grappling abilities,so I just practice a few exercises with ropes,though I don't have any partner.Well,these kinds of exercises allowed me to go toe-to-toe in wrestling with a man,who had 11 years of experience,but didn't have as much power and weight as I do.I would've desired for more practice actually...Because technique and experience also take a part in the process of fighting

[@RealVergilSparda]

personally all my training is explosiveness, i dont train for aesthetics yet because competing in mma is more important than getting girls rn (ill get them later) i do exercises like extremely deep jumping squats, pushing a massive weight up and down the room or whatever they call it, and i also focus on big compound lifts, deadlifts,squats and the overhead press along with some explosive push ups, its a full body session that i do about 3-4 times a week combined with mma and bjj training

[@BenjaminButton6573]

I think when you do martial arts you get toned but if you want the most bang for your buck you should do compound movements like dead’s, squats, bench, dips and pull-ups. They will add that size you really need while keeping toned and lean from fighting. Bike riding is another thing I do which is good for cardio and leg development.

[@LouisCrushesCans]

Hello Nat! As someone who does shotokan karate I just wanted to ask what type of cardio you do to improve your stamina. And as far as the training I do in a week goes, I have two one hour karate lessons, a one hour dancing lesson and then a nice run during the weekend. I know it is not a lot but it is all my parents allow me to do. Have a nice day!

Hey nice video! I'm not a martial artist expert but I would like to say that in order to develop power you don't need to do only plyometrics (which targets the direct speed and rate of force development of your muscles) but also strenght training because in order to he powerful you have to fast but also to be able to generate a lot of force that can indeed be expressed fast. So doing controlled negatives and explosive concentrics of squats for low reps (

You’re welcome💪

Think you’ve got the work/life/passion balance on point, best thing you can do is know your limits and avoid burnout, i say that as if I can’t go to work, i can’t keep the lights on 😅😅 or reach my other goal (home ownership, rural area)

[@Dan-kt1zs]

Well, here's how I do mine. Everyday, I just do stretches of all kinds, especially the legs. I try to push my limits everyday in terms of flexibility, which would be useful against Judo/JJ/BJJ guy's Ne Waza as it would make me more resistant to it (Or well, more pliable rather). Every other day or every two days, I beat myself, or have someone else beat me with arnis sticks to condition my body to pain, especially on the legs. As for the head, I just ask for light punches with gloves. Other than that, I do explosive and muscular endurance training once or twice a week. I sorta need it to improve my stand up game and to last longer on the ground. I train a lot more on Judo than I do karate, so right now, my fighting style is closer to that of a Kudoka/Samboist than a traditional Karateka lol.

HELLO BROTHER I'M FROM INDIA AND I GET BULLIED IN MY SCHOOL BUT NOW I WANT TO LEARN SOME MARTIAL ARTS CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO START IT PLEASE BROTHER I'M A BEGINNER AND DON'T HAVE MANY EQUIPMENT ❤🥀

[@MeatMauler-b5w]

bro IS an expert

[@DiogoMarta-ys3ti]

I'm doing muay thai Mon, Wed and Fri in the morning and BJJ in Tue and Thursday. I do a 3 day full body split in Tue, Thu and Sat. Also Do Plyometric training on Mon, Wed and Fri. While eating about 3000 Kcals a day. I do skipping everyday since I don't do any other cardio... I should run about 10km a day but I'm too skinny for that. I would loose every kg in my body hahah.

[@enmanuelcvazquez6993]

You are the best bro✌️😁Keep doing this Thank You🥋

[@DiogoMarta-ys3ti]

Don't forget to eat enough calories if you wanna build muscle. You need to have a surplus of about 500 Kcals a day. Check your calorie intake with a TDEE Calculator.

[@night_traffic]

I like to do muscle building exercises i do a normal bro split 45 mins a day along with karate training

[@lukegooddy1997]

Ey good stuff! Like the routine, very simple and consistent. My goals this year are to put on muscle AND get back into fighting shape because I've been slacking with my karate training since doing weights and bands This is a LONG explanation so only read if you lot want to don't worry 😄👍 My current routine consists of Monday and Wednesday: Upper Body (chest, back arms, punches, blocks) In the morning or 30 minutes before my weights, I will do a 2 minute warm up for my arms, then I move on to stretches after they've warmed up. Then I put on my wrists these velcro weights I got for christmas and I perform 3 sets of blocks (slow, medium l, fast) with a 1 minute rest inbetween each set ( head level, stomach level, inside hook, downwards, sweeping). After that, I have a 2 minute rest and do the same routine with punches (head, stomach, backhand and 3 elbow varient I don't know the names😄). After another 2 minute rest, I do 3 2 minute rounds of either shadow boxing or bag work, depending on the time. My weight routine, I do 3 sets of up to 20 reps for every exercise Bicep curls, seated rows, shrugs, upright rows, lateral raises, tricep kickbacks, weighted pushups Tuesday and Thursday: Lower Body(abs, legs, kicks) The martial arts is pretty much the exact same as with punches but obviously with kicks. Start with a warmup, stretch, strap on the velcro weights and perform 3 sets of kicks (slow, medium, fast) from a back stance position (front, round, side, back, hook). And then end with 3 2 minute rounds on the bag or in the air. Weight training: sit ups, leg raises, side leg raises, squats, leg extensions, lying leg curls,

@Jake Collins lmao, they're not the same. From what I learned from my gym, it's more of a muay thai style kick.

[@salvospeaks]

@Jake Collins true, I guess it depends on the gym. From what I learned it's more a thai kick.

Will do👍

[@adrizri3428]

Hi, I have done martial arts since I was little and always had a fighting spirit, specifically karate. At the age of 8 I competed with two teammates in kata nationally and won bronze. I won a few medals in fighting too. I moved countries and lost time and determination for a year but did other sport. I am now glad to come back and train in a club but I am 13 and can you please give good exercises for people who can't go to the gym?

[@aresquinn8452]

I did taekwondo for about 10 years, then I quit and went to bjj. I lost all my flexibility that I built up over the years, now I'm back at the start again lol.

[@DrsJacksonn]

I recall that training more explosively doesn't actually give you more 'explosive' strength, but simply getting stronger does.

[@nathearn]

Explosive exercises can help you be more explosive, but I do agree that simply getting stronger is an underrated way of doing it👍

[@_Lishi_]

This so cooll idk how you do it i could never 😂 Quick question how tall are you??

[@nathearn]

You could! And I’m 5’11
