I listen to a plethora of music, almost everything (except country). I’ve gone through trying everything while training, hitting bags, shadowboxing, techniques, or even forms, but I find the BEST that I enjoy the most seem to be … Drum 'n Bass.
I think it has to do with the beats, the groove, the intensity as well… everything into one. It’s not TOO HARD, like some heavy ass metal, it’s not too light, like softer electronic music, and it’s not too “groovy” either like house music or even some hip-hop.
But I would say I understand why people enjoy training to hip-hop also, it’s got a similar “edge” to it. You wanna move your body… and you enjoy doing it. Almost like dancing, you know?
I was taught music was bad for martial arts training. I do, however, listen to hard rock and OLD school rap and hip hop during high intensity cardio or weights when the mood strikes.

My beats
Waaaaay back in the day, when I was training Kenpo, I listened to '70s rock on the radio during home training. In class, my Kenpo teacher often played disco music during everything except sparring.
My fave music is still '70s rock/R&B/soul (and I even like SOME disco; emphasis on “SOME”).
