although just a bit of this type of training can be super-beneficial (for quick responses/'exploding' strength) in the long run (and by doing it too much daily-so not only after too much time-but in general) it can cause tremendous problem to your shoulder muscles and your sh. rotatory muscles and that is not fun (having this as a variety though and do it every here and there guess is alright)
For anyone interested, there is a book titled The Power of Hojo Undo by Michael Clarke. It goes over several Okinanwan bodyweight and weighted exercise techniques that can, with a little imagination, can be integrated into any karateka's workout.
I use strap-on wrist weights during my patterns/technique drill practice sessions. It builds muscle memory for perfect technique faster as well as strengthens the muscles used to actually complete it with power. Techniques that require a great deal of precision can be learned in a fraction of the time it would take to learn it through regular repetition.
I normally frown on any "traditional arts" but I think that Uechi-ryu is one art that hasn't sold out to the masses. I have much respect for everything that I see it's practitioners doing.
I have a lot of respect to Uechi-Ryu. But there are also many other traditional martial arts that have stayed in the traditional form... It is difficult hold a dojo with more than 10-15 students if you will teach only hard core techniques... But you save the difficult hard stuff to serious trainers... And good students do a lot of old Scholl stone hitting and body conditioning.
@BizarreWorks Problem with that philosophy is that his conditioning is more than likely able to withstand a bazooka. I'm only SLIGHTLY sarcastic here. Uechi-ryu conditioning is some of the most hard core in the world.
this is the same as functional muscle training that athletes in other sports like MMA, boxing, wrestling, football, etc do. Using weights while performing the same movements that are unique to the specific type of discipline. isometric, plyometric movements, etc.
This is the culmination of all modern Strength and Conditioning sciences. Train movements not muscles. These guys have been doing this for years. Same with Sports Psychology all of the "new" methodologies are actual ancient techniques found in Martial Arts.
this is an interesting way of training. I might try this out, seems he's strengthening the muscles through the same motion as his techniques, that could be very useful :)
This Sensei is ripped!
