Here's my technical training regimen. PLease take into consideration I rarely have a partner outside of our two one hour classes each week.
Basics:
=Stepping, Striking, Kicking; General movement
Forms training:
=Whole Form run-through
=Partial Form run-through
=Technique Isolation, drill over and over
=Run whole form, parts thereof, in different sequences, substituting footwork, angles, et all
Bag training:
=Working myriad of technical possibilities of whichever singular form studied during given time period in singles, combinations, etc, on heavy bag. Use for studying power generation, basic positioning for attack/counterattack/positional dominance
Partner Training Uno:
=Take lessons learned from above training, get some applicable drills together, go over with partner. Include constantly increasing pressure (not necessarily attacking/defending force) to get set techniques accomplished.
=Train ad nauseum
Partner Training Dos:
=Take lessons learned in above, work into sparring. Difference from final level of drilling should be in intensity only.
There is no other way. Look at my finger. Avoid the moon.
:rolleyes: ;) :eek: :D
With all due seriousness, that is, in effect, the way I prefer to train my art. It works for me. It sticks with all the sensical and scientific precepts of constantly increasing resistance. It allows for applicable training of the classics of my style (*gasp*). And here's another reason:
I train sets (forms/kata) much in the same way I read a science book: I go over the material, not really latching on to anything but the most painfully obvious facts. However, upon review of what I've learned, I can apply quite often the lessons contained therein. So, I like to think of myself as a general learner. Yes, I did invent that word. It's copyrighted, by the by. I can take the gist of something, and use that to get at the specifics of the lesson, whether that be in the form of a book or a "crystalized" fighting methodology of a classical style.
Please, in all your pursuits, and in your life, remember this:
