Most Americans think eating food-flavored sweeteners, to be a healthy-diet. I enjoyed the way you offended my, fellow-Americans.

good looks bro , what do u do when u dont have a partner to spar with? i do know that having a partner is essential what kind of person am i looking for in a sparring partner?? and if im more advanced than my partner should i show him what i know, or should i break it down in laments terms??

[BlackDice572]

Well, if I dont have a partner I tend to just go through forms, do some bag work, or some conditioning etc. If you want to look for a sparring partner, you really want to have someone who you find difficult to spar, so that you can improve. But you shouldn't just have "one" sparring partner, you should have as many as popssible. If you want to show them a few things you know, that's up to you really, but be modest and try not to be condesending. = )

I study Aikido and i was wondering if doing push ups and sit ups is a good thing , or should i just continue rolls and kata, along with breathing exercises. will it affect my flexability??????

[BlackDice572]

Sits ups is always a good thing because almost every motion you do has some core involvement. Will it affect your flexibility? If you fail to stretch out after exercising yes it will, but otherwise I see no reason why it should. As for push ups, the question is do you have any motions in akido that will benefit from your practicing motions like in push ups? If you spend more time pulling people towards you as apposed to forcing them away then you would be more suited to doing pull ups.

thanx bro, sorry it took so long for me to reply. i was also curious, if i wanted to change my martial arts practice without actual training can that be accomplished through reading and of course practice.i wanted to change from aikido to krav maga, this martial art is a little more practical and easy to understand, but i have no real experience in this sport and was wondering if u could give me an idea on what kind of exercises i should start doing in order to catch up to par with krav?????

[BlackDice572]

Well, I've never done Krav Maga, but from what I can tell it seems heavily strike based. Lots of knees and elbows aswell. Plyometric push ups will help with hand and elbow strikes. Really you just need to mimic the movement but with resistance. If you have any hand weights you can lay on your back and punch up into the air holding them. Krav Maga, "I think", emphasises ending a fight quickly, so high weight low reps would be better suited for their fighting style.

Everyone should always do pushups. Pushups have no downside and develop muscles which are used in basically anything.

[BlackDice572]

This is true, but they are more important to some martial arts than others. For example a Judoka wouldn't want to spend most of his time doing push ups, because pullups, prone bridges and squats are more appropriate to Judo than pushups are. Unless of course this Judoka also practices a strike based martial art.

what exercise could i do to make my kneeing more powerful?

[BlackDice572]

Actually, a good exercise for knee strikes is situp, because situps exercise muscles the bring the knee up aswell. Other than that, like I said in the video, you just need to make the exercise as simmilar to a knee strike as possible. I would use ankle/wrist weights and attach them just above the knee and bring the knee up like a strike, and just do that over and over. Your going to have to find other ways to increase the weight.
