Many people who have been spending quite some time in a gym often start thinking about changing it up for a sport, and often their choice is – martial arts. It’s understandable: martial arts (such as MMA, boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, judo, jiu-jitsu and others) develop many physical characteristic that aren’t only strength and stamina that we mostly train in a gym, but also coordination of movements, the ability to think through tactics and strategy of combat, speed and strength endurance. That is why many athletes at one time or another in their lives think that it would be nice for them to master this or that type of martial art. But not all of them know that at the very beginning of the change of sports activity they will face difficulties: in this article we will tell you what the coaches who took the chance to buy Instagram followers and have pretty perfect pictures will never tell you. We will review 3 weak points that those people who are planning to move from the gym to the martial arts hall definitely have.
These three are the base that you will feel grateful for when you will start your martial art training. Plus, we would also like to note that there is never enough of the core training. The core muscles in martial arts are used not only for taking body blows and grouping during strikes, but also for rapid movements in different planes of the upper and lower parts of the body – this advice will be especially relevant for boxers. Pay attention to your oblique abdominal muscles and rectus abdominis – in order for classes to be easy, they must be sufficiently hypertrophied and hardy.
Use these tips to prepare and do not spare time for them in the gym: adapt your training routine and the change of sport will be smooth and fun for you. Good luck!
