[QUOTE=sanjuro_ronin;1100542]Go talk crazy somewhere else, we’re all stocked up here ![/QUOTE]
sorry, I had some surplus on hand I wanted to get rid of…:o
Well, here’s the skinny…
I’ve been asked to do this because of my muay thai training. It isn’t actually the muay thai class that i’ll be doing the conditioning in. If it was up to me it there would be a LOT more boxing, shadow boxing, sparring, etc.
As it stands, i’m thinking it is more of a trial to see if he wants to keep doing it. It is a favor, really, because the instructor fudged up his knee and can’t do much. All of the guys senior students moved away and he’s only left with a few green guys.
I’m sure that i’ll eventually be able to do a lot more conditioning and drills, but I have to show him something he thinks is worth keeping. Also, it is a traditional school that i’m new in, and most of my training isn’t. Just wanted to see if there were any exercises you guys favored for this type of stuff.
I’ll most likely end up doing a lot of burpees and similar stuff from my muay thai training.
If you want to warm up and get the blood going for the real workout then do just that and 10 min is just fine for that.
The MEAT of your conditioning should be “sport specific”, in other words, you will get better conditioning to do MT if you do MT for 40 min than if you do anything else for 40 min.
Leave the “general conditioning” to the end for that extra “BOOYAHKASHA !!”
Leave them panting and puking at the end, that always makes people happy.
Doing a circuit of burpees, sit ups, push ups, squats, squats jumps or whatever the else you wanna do for the first 10 min is just fine.
When you have 15 min left hit them with 10 min of “**** you in the mouth” cardio conditioning and finish with 5 min or so of cool down and make sure those asholes do some static stretches at the end.
**** suckers !
just sayin’…
just remember, from a political perspective, don’t shine your light too brightly - ur instructor is probably bummed out enough as it is w his knees being shot - he may get resentful if your part of the class is “too good” (not saying he will, but human nature is human nature, and the whole “two tigers on one mountain” thing is a reality);
just to consider, it may not actually apply here…
Thank TGY.
My biggest concern is that I end up teaching something that doesn’t jive with his teaching. I’m just wanting to do my best with the 10 minutes i’ve been given and keep it simple for now.
Hey,
I just figured it out, JamesC, you’re the guy that rolled into MK’s class and got poked in the eye? No you takin your act somewhere else…:eek:
