Boxing Workout for Martial Arts Fitness
We're going to do some boxing added with the weights to give it a greater workout, and you can also really feel and lock in the technique doing it slow like that. It'll also help you when you go to box on a heavy bag to not get so tired because the arms get so heavy right away. Before we do the actual boxing, I'd like to show you the very basics of martial arts. You're going to get in a horse stance and your knees are going to push out over your toes. Your back is straight and you're going take your hands and make a fist. You always punch with these 2 knuckles, and you're going to turn it and pull it back all the way and keep your elbows in tight. Your hand comes out like this. In the last second, you drive it in, and you turn it, and pull back. You come out, and you turn it, and you drive it in. Never lock your elbow out. Always keep a slight bend so you don't hurt your elbows. Then pull it back. Now, also realize that when you pull back, it can also be an elbow strike to somebody behind you so work it both ways like that. We're going to do punches like this. I'm going to use today these weights, but if you're at home you can use a 1 pound, 2 pound, 3 pound, 5 pounds, and if you're really macho, 10 pounds. If you don't have any weights, you can also grab some soup cans or something like that. Pick up the weights like this and you're going to turn your hand and turn it back like this. Pretty soon you're going to start feeling it. Punch right to your centerline. Now, add your waist in there a little bit pushing up from the legs, up through the waist like this. If you're at home, why don't you work up to 50 and then work up to 100. As you get stronger, you can go up in the weights.
