The HARDEST Martial Arts Training Of My Life

[@MartialArtsJourney]

I am planning to make many more vlog type of martial arts journey videos. Let me know what you liked about this one and what would you like to see in these vlogs even more. If you are interested to see my training vlog how I lost my martial arts passion and what I did to regain it check out this video right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJDQpmpslqqhsNE

[@blackomega4061]

Love the new format of the videos, Rokas. Just when I think you hit your peak, you keep getting better. Filming in various locations helps keeps us engaged more and adds a sense of uniqueness to the vlogs. Would love to see updates while you're training or immediately after it's over so any insights or emotions you are feeling would be more fresh to you then.

[@alfonsonajera2439]

I just hope you are careful. Cardio is one of the most important training tools we have, as martial artists. However, if you push too hard too fast, you can cause the same damage to your heart as a heart attack. Long term studies gave not concluded that this is detrimental to your long term health, as far as I know, but I think the damage speaks for itself. Studies have shown that taking vitamin e at a certain dose before your hard cardio can protect you from this damage, or at least, seriously lower the amount if damage. Also, make sure you eat good. "I'm not hungry" is an absolute no no, lol. Slow progression is the best progression! 😃👍

[@MartialArtsJourney]

@@blackomega4061 Thanks! This is great feedback. I'll do my best to add some fresh experiences in the vlogs too!

Fighting for oxygen during fight training is quite possibly the scariest thing for most people. They think they’re afraid of getting punched or hurt, but the real fear comes from the work.

[@anarchyinba]

Word.

[@MartialArtsJourney]

I recently experienced a panic moment of being pressured in mount bottom while gasping for air. Now that was definitely very scary 😅 The body went to panic/survival mode on it's own. Definitely much more scary than getting punched. Fighting for air during training is The challenge for sure!

[@BigSlanko]

@@MartialArtsJourney this use to happen to me - have you tried breathwork such as Whim Hoff, Oxygen Advantage etc? I did a 90 day multiple times a day breath training routine and I haven’t had this issue since.

[@MartialArtsJourney]

@@BigSlanko Nice Coffice! I'll try that

[@BigSlanko]

@@MartialArtsJourney If you do I would LOVE to see a video about it - breath training is present in a lot of my books on martial arts and my dojo specifically utilizes it in warm up routines. We like it a lot!

[@Gh0st_0723]

Rokas out here training like Goku. Brother, your body has changed over the years so dramatically. It shows how hard you been training. Also you're absolutely right about training things that we're already good at, it's the little voice In us that's lazy/egotistical it doesn't want us to fail at anything or have to work too hard because it affects our self image. The most productive training sessions are the ones where we can completely ignore that voice and go out of our comfort zone. Some days I leave training and I feel like it was the first day I've ever trained, although that hurts the ego, I know that it was just things that I had previously ignored training. Thank you for sharing your Journey bro, we're all in this together!!! If your second fight happens in the USA I would definitely come watch you or maybe try to get a fight on the same card.

[@MartialArtsJourney]

I think we've all been in a situation where you leave training (even after years of it) and feel like a beginner 😅 Thanks for your support! Looking forward where the journey will take us all to next

Thank you a lot David! So far this video is getting quite a few views less than the "popular" videos, but I feel this type of video is much more important overall. I'll do my best keeping it up!

[@VikingSamurai]

@@MartialArtsJourney It's weird how many views some videos get compared to others, it's all about the "impressions" youtube puts out... I've had a couple vids last week that really did great, 36k and 26k, while some others do 2-3k views only! lol

[@MartialArtsJourney]

@@VikingSamurai Yeah... The YT algorithm is confusing... 😅 But my intention is from now on to create similar styled vlogs of the highest quality possible, so that my viewers could come back on their own knowing that what they are coming back for exactly and that it's Worth coming back. Hopefully if I'm able to pull this off I'll be less dependent on the algorithm being able to focus more on creating videos that are valuable to people who watch my stuff :)

[@VikingSamurai]

@@MartialArtsJourney I would think with the more subs you have the algorithm should come less into play... but, you always know it's on your side if you're getting more views than you have subs! lol... but ya, you're viewers will kind of know what to expect and want more of these vids, that's always good!

I have been do combat sports for many years now, i'm 58 and unwinding, and decided to try Aikido, but continue with combat sports training, just not as intensely. Thank you, i have been following your channel off and on for the few years now.

[@sorearm]

Kickboxing is one of the most intense martial arts you can do, it's great, strength, endurance, co-ordination, balance, sheer determination - all develop you as a person. I agree about doing the things that are uncomfortable. You get to a point were 3x 10 military pushups are easy. So do variations. Do archer pushups, one-leg raised pushups, pumped pushups. Burpees are apparently the best overall fitness exercise. I hate them. I really, really hate them. But they work.

[@AFunnyMemeGuy343]

[@GoodandBasic]

Here after the hack. Thank you so much for posting your journey. I found your channel while preparing to teach a martial arts class for a small college. My background in teaching was in Taekwondo, and I had some teaching experience as an assistant instructor, but the responsibility of teaching weighed heavily on me. I wanted to teach truth and not inadvertently mislead my students. Finding your channel helped me not only by pointing me toward stress testing my inherited techniques, but also by revealing the occasionally unhealthy and "cult-like" relationships cultivated in many martial arts studios. This helped me eventually leave the toxic environment fostered by the leadership of that school. Thank you for sharing your journey and the thoughts it inspires. JB

[@Sinekyre14]

A lot of effort in this one. Good job rookas

[@MartialArtsJourney]

Thanks! I'm planning to do my best to keep adding a lot of effort into each and every video from now on

[@benglasby8014]

This video just came up at the perfect time. I just sparred in boxing earlier tonight. Bag work, pad work and footwork drills (shuttle runs) before sparring. I had a rough time with the cardio. There’s going to have to be cardio finishers added to my weight training sessions after the sparring tonight

[@MartialArtsJourney]

Nice! Keep it up

[@definitlynotbenlente7671]

i remember when first started training with my sensei i was not very storn so my sensei would always spend the first half of the lesson doeing strenght and stamina exercises it was very tough but it payd of and i got stronger and better stamina and it is very rewarding when you can do something you could not do before

[@stankyfingers3030]

I really liked this video! I've been an athlete for most of my life, and I think that Rokas is totally right. A huge part of athletics is mental. When training gets difficult I start having these inner talks with myself and I'm always trying to make compromises with myself.. I say things like, ehh you're really tired.. you dont need to keep going.. you've done enough let's just skip that lift for now.. But early on and even as a child, I can remember telling myself "no.. you are a machine.. push through.. you CAN do more. You're a machine.." I would repeat this over and over in my head head and almost zone out.. after I would feel so proud of myself and I would have a huge break through. Eventually lol. Our brains are so lazy!! Keep pushing Rokas! You're a machine!

[@MartialArtsJourney]

Thanks! Our brains are lazy indeed 😅 But you are making a great point. Nothing beats feeling great after overcoming your limitations!

[@brasileirokubrusly2]

That inpired me, Rokas. Im also in the middle of a super intensive martial arts training, with lots of cardio and muscle growing. I do like 2 hours a day, every day, of every kind of exercise. And i can tell you… it has not been easy. More than once i felt feverish and had to rest for like 3 days before continuing my series. I have already elvolved A LOT, but that doesn’t mean it’s becoming easier now. Actually, im exactly at that point where you are confronted by your own body’s limits. I have self doubts and fears of injuries a lot of times. Its becoming harder and harder. Afterall… to become a true functional martial artists, you have to go beyond that doubts, and explore your body and mind to the most. You will need flexibility, strength, muscle memory, endurance, reflex, awareness, a cold mind, technique and psychological resistance. All of those are extremely difficult achievments that will test you for sure. I want a double black belt, in the end of this journey, one in muay thai and the other in BJJ. I know if i mantain my determination and discipline, i will get there. With honor… EARN YOUR JORNEY. And be free.

[@MartialArtsJourney]

Hi Miguel! I'm really glad to hear you found this video motivating. I also want to say that one of the greatest things I've learned this year is that consistency beats intensity and that it's important to not only train hard, but to also rest "hard". In my experience a lot of training doesn't give as much benefit if there isn't a lot of rest, while less training with a lot of rest gave me much better results. I've overtrained many times in the past wanting to become better quicker, but in the end that turned against me eventually slowing down my process. Instead now I train less but regularly and I feel I am becoming much better than when I trained too much. In the end we are all different so maybe your path is right for you, but I just wanted to wish for you to be careful and to take your time as you aim to reach your goals! Keep doing your best.

Cardio is a nightmare for me, it's getting worse as I get older (I'm only 31 too!) Which sounds ridiculous as 31 isn't old, but it's true. I can't find the energy like I used to..... BUT I usually spar in a fasted state in the morning so maybe that's why😅. We did 3 minutes rounds of sparring the other day too which was killer. Also nice video, this is the type of content I want to watch. Thank you. More training vlogs!

[@MartialArtsJourney]

Thank you Karate Vlogs! I like to train on an empty stomach too, although lately I started enjoying a drink of coffee before training. But the evening before training (and the whole day) I eat A Lot 😅 Very happy to hear you liked this vlog! This is the direction I am planning to move into from now on. I am already preparing the next vlog filmed in the same style and I'll be filming some vlogs this weekend when I'll be meeting with Jesse Enkamp (Karate Nerd)

[@bigbat443]

Great stuff as per usual. I had been doing kickboxing for a few years before you started out, but only recently did I jump to actually fighting. I had my first fight about a month ago, and I loved it! But it's true that the cardio demands increases dramatically during training (although not as much as for a world class competitor, obviously). I was already thinking about adding cardio and running on top of my daily training regime, and your video showing results was the final push I needed. I really look forward to seeing you improve and persevere in this beautiful art!

[@MartialArtsJourney]

Thank you Hexline! Great to hear about your own experience. By the way, what do you mean by having your first fight? Do you mean competing or having sparring?

[@bigbat443]

@@MartialArtsJourney I meant competition. It was just a small amateur tournament with 2 fights one almost right after the other (I managed to win as well, which was very uplifting). I actually took a great deal of time to get on with it, since I've been training at various martial arts for the last 5 years, and now I kinda wish I had done it sooner. It was the single most impactful experience I had in my martial arts history, because it gave me both confidence to remain calm during sparring sessions (which implies a cleaner and better applied technique), and a lot of feedback in all the things I could improve, like for instance the cardio!

[@MartialArtsJourney]

@@bigbat443 That's awesome!

[@lmh4162]

Thank you for sharing this experience. I felt the same way about cardio intensive workouts. I like sprinting but not long distance. Many times in Muay Thai I want to just go straight to sparring after warm ups. Not long cardio sessions where I am then worn out during sparring session. This third option you shared here is definitely something I have applied to my personal workouts at home and it helps a lot. Keep up these videos bro. God Bless.

[@MartialArtsJourney]

Sparring after long cardio sessions is quite the challenge! I also find it to be a good experience once in a while, since running out of energy in a competitive (or real fight for that matter) I think is a common experience, so it may be good to get used to it before it happens not in training.

Reminds me of my Tae Kwon Do club in highschool. The first one was hell. Especially when the first time I joined, there was a coach from Korea that came by. And the training was gruesome. But after each week, I got used to it. Remember your knuckle push-up with Jeese Enkamp before the makiwara? We did it, too on concrete. The skin on my knuckles peeled. The feeling after training after the following weeks my body felt awesome. I need to slowly get into it again.

[@FitProVR]

I notice you say “cardio”, but then show yourself doing anaerobic exercises like burpees and HIIT. cardio is aerobic and steady state and i didn’t see a single run, swim, bike, or row. I’m curious what you mean by “cardio”?

[@MartialArtsJourney]

You're right FitProVR! Thanks for pointing that out. When I say cardio I essentially mean when I am running out of gas/air and my heart rate goes way up. I do believe though many casual people would call their training like this "cardio" too, so using the same term may make it more 'relatable', but at the same time it may be a good idea in the future to educate myself and others in the proper use of terms :)

[@mattbugg4568]

You need to train your lungs its very important in fighting. Practice is start 8 counts inhale 7 counts exhale. This is first practice. Second would be inhale 60% exhale 10% inhale 30% exhale 40% etc... balancing your air between 80% and 20%. . Third practice, when you stop at the interval flex all your muscles. Then continue to the next interval on and on. Forth practice is during sparring when you're going to get hit stop breathing flex into the spot your getting hit and after the strike continue your breathing pattern between 20 and 80%. 5th part is to learn how to cycle your breath up the frount and down the back and also around a figure 8 inside your torso. This creates a cycling breath and moves from the hara. Thus is all basic chi Gung for iron shirt. But the cardio work for fighting is laced into it. If you learn breath control cardio isn't necessary you could fight all day or run or do calisthenics and never raise your breathing rate or heart beat. Just saying.

[@Docinaplane]

I always thought that grappling was your strongest asset.

[@MartialArtsJourney]

I definitely have more experience and skill in grappling, but for the last 8 months I've been training mostly kickboxing so I think my striking game is catching up. I'm starting to train 2 times kickboxing and 2 times BJJ per week though, so hopefully I'll be moving at both areas at a similar pace

[@blitzthekraken9832]

The journey you are missing is judo. You will have a hard time griping and gauging distance without judo. Judo fundamentally is where all grappling arts started. It’s why I switched my kids to it. Gripping in standup is different then gripping in ground fighting, its horrible explosive, and incredibly devious, and there is the sway to it that allows you to throw on entry. You are flat footed, you’ve always since I’ve watched your first video have been flat footed. Only two combat sports can correct this boxing and judo. Without judo, you want be able to put the bigger grappling picture together. Once you take judo, the pieces start falling in place, as judo is the father, it’s the center piece. It’s not better then anyone art, it’s just the center piece to every grappling art. You are still on the crust. Good luck!

[@MartialArtsJourney]

This year I started doing kickboxing Monday - Wednesday 08:30 to 10:00 am. I would then add an additional fitness/cardio training at home on Saturday. These days though I started raising up the volume of my training. Last week I did Monday - Wednesday 08:30 - 10:00 kickboxing, Wednesday 19:00 - 20:30 BJJ and then Saturday 11:00 - 14:00 BJJ (general class + private class). I'll see if I can keep up this pace and over time add an additional fitness/cardio training on one of those days.

So martial arts Journey hear me out there was a time I wanted to be a fighter and a kickboxer but then I told myself it requires to learn so many martial arts and I choose what I wanted to do in the beginning be a boxer then a martial artist and these are the three hybrid mixed martial arts styles are also the best military martial arts Sanda combat sambo Krav Maga Sanda and combat sambo both our the best and only military martial arts that have their very own combat sport which is good effective in MMA self-defense and street fighting and cry Maga is the best military martial art of all time above Marine Corps martial arts program modern Army combatives and others so you see martial arts training I plan to be a boxer as well as a martial artist adding Sanda combat sambo Krav Maga three of the best military martial arts that are also hybrid mixed martial arts styles

So....are you training to be a cage fighter, bro? Is that it? You got dreamz of being the next UFC dude? Why you do this? MMA is sport, bro.

[@MartialArtsJourney]

Why not do this? And why do you think I want to be the next UFC dude? We are all different and we like to do different things. Some people like to play chess, some people like to collect stamps, I like to do kickboxing and BJJ. It is always a way to push myself out of my comfort zone which makes me grow. You are free to do what you like and I am free to do what I like :)

This is why Aikidio is superior. It effective and you do not need to have good cardio

[@MartialArtsJourney]

Interesting thought. Did you try to spar with a kickboxer to see if you can effectively take him down and remain with your cardio intact?

@@MartialArtsJourney I'll throw him and that will be it. #facts

[@jamesfrankiewicz5768]

I beg to differ: I'm currently in training for my 1st kyu exam, and cardio is going to be important as I'm expecting it to last 30-40 minutes (after 30-40 minutes of class has already gone by). I might have even have to trade off and do ukemi (for those unfamiliar: "ukemi" means "receiving to the body", a.k.a. "falling and getting back up", which is more work than the throwing), because I also have a couple friends due for the same exam. I, for one, am not so arrogant that I would be confident that one just throw would end an encounter against a kickboxer (or whoever) because maybe that person is familiar with ukemi, etc. (e.g. Rokas). One throw might give you an opening to escape a situation, in which case cardio can come in really handy.

@@jamesfrankiewicz5768 I think he was just trolling when he said he'd just throw him, and if he's actually serious is there any point debating further with him?
