Vragen en antwoorden
-
What's the best style a tournament fighter can study?
Style doesn't mean as much as the person in the style. If you wish to advance
in martial arts, you should develop your own style. Incorporate knowledge from
many different styles like also Bruce Lee always said. Just see what works best
for you in every style.
-
How do I learn kicking speed?
Some people think that you are born with slow or fast muscles. Of course there
will always be people that are faster than you are, but there is always room
for improvement. Repetitions of kicks in the air are a good way to increase
speed.
-
How do I learn to kick harder?
There are many exercises that will strengthen your legs. Running or lifting leg
weigths are fine methods, a heavy bag is even better.
-
Is weight training advisable for martial artists?
The old "muscle bound" athlete who didn't understand how to control his diet
ran into the problem of having a layer of fat next to the muscles and bones.
This restricts movement. Nowadays we can develop muscles and reduce fat. This
allows for a greater range of motion with strength. Therefore, weigth training
is advisable when done properly. The Nautilus method, where flexibility is
emphasized along with muscle development, is an excellent system. Stretching
before and after lifting weights is advised!
-
When I fight with my strong leg forward, my weak hand is the one I have to
punch with. What can I do to correct this situation?
Although some people are equally effective with both hands and legs, this is
not the norm. Most people favor one side, hand and leg. With this limitation,
your strong leg forward with a reverse punch from the opposite hand is one of
the most effective combinations. Strengthen your weaker hand on a heavy bag.
-
Although I'm involved in a vigorous training program, I'm not fighting any
better. What can the problem be?
A lot of people place more importance on their endurance training than on the
actual fighting. Running, swimming, kicking heavy bags, punching speed bags and
a jumping rope will only get you in good physical shape. If you want to be a
good fighter, you must practice wisely and incorporate proper training drills
that will sharpen your techniques. Then you must free spar often and of course
the more tournaments you fight in, the better you'll get.
-
I have speed, power and versatile techniques. Why can't I score?
The most important thing is timing. There is a difference between knowing how
to and knowing when to. Start with rhythm kicking drills. Spar with a partner
who makes e.g. a backfist. First slowly while you time a sidekick at him. Then
let him punch faster and try to keep the timing. Also try other punches and
kicks.
