Typical training session in my sanshou club

Next we have break falling exercises and throwing practices,soon the students will dispersed as beginners trained boxing while intermediate and senior students trained advance fighting techniques.Sometimes these exercise can be very tough and challenging, pushing you to discover your limit and improve beyond your threshold thus recondition yourself to your need level of fitness !

Once in a while,we have sparring.

Please do not imitate any of these exercise as it might be dangerous without proper guidance and conditioning.

Circuit training for upper body conditioning

Hi this is acidrock,
Attach is a short but effective training to improve your physique & stamina. Do every exercise for around 30 secs before proceeding to next station, complete about 8-10 sets depending on your fitness level . Slow down or pause to catch your breath anytime you feel you need to.(60% -80% of max. heart rate)
Substitue by light jogging or burpees if you feel that certain station is too challenging.
Any aerobic done continuously after 20 mins will start to burn fat ,after 45 mins fat and muscle will also provide energy source for your body.
MAX heart rate = 220 minus your age.
e.g. if you are 20 years old , your max. heart rate will be 220-20 = 200 hb/min
60% heart rate = 200 x 60%=120 heartbeat per minute.
Depending on your fitness,training objective and age , exercise close to or above your max. heart rate is dangerous and not advisable for most of us
Do substain your exercise for more than 20mins and around 60-80% hb/min if you want to lose weight effectively.(pls check out my weight loss program later in the blog)
Feel free to ask me questions if in doubt.
Hasta la vista!

Champions league finals !

The champions league finally came to an end after Man U defeating Chelsea 6-5 on penalties,1-1 after extra time.
It was a hard fought battle,personally i thought Chelsea would win after losing in the Premier league but it seems that they were demoralised.
Anyway congrats to Man U. *laughs*
Went back to school for collection of report book today however it turns out that my form teacher misplaced and passed my report book to one of my classmates,was pissed off after that...TOTALLY UNEXPECTED !

Training for stamina

HEY,i am back for another post.
Today,i will be going through training for stamina.
Firstly,stamina is important as it is able to last you during a fight or a sparring session.The breathing technique makes the difference.When running,do use your nose to breathe both in and out in the "aerobic" part of the run ,when you feel tired,switch to normal breathing .For the last part of run,give all you got by breathing harder through the nose and breathing out from the mouth when you are switching your activity from aerobic to anerobic mode.Lastly do listen to music to motivate your run but keep vigilant to traffic and safety.
Now i will be uploading a short video clip of myself and could be found in youtube too.

Introduction

Staying healthy does not necessary means just having a slim body and taking a healthy diet.People often tend to neglect strenghtening of muscles and having a good stamina to last for activities like boxing or even basketball.
Strengthening of muscles doesn't mean having large pecs,big biceps or enormous thighs .Large bulky toad-like muscles will decreases your agility and makes you clumsy and stout.
For instance,in boxing,with the aid long and lean arms,we will be able to strike swiftly to gain points or even knock someone out.Big muscles couple with low endurance can only lock your arms when they fill with lactic acid easily.
