I mean, not the drills themselves, but the little midfriff tank and the bikini cut sweats.

Zuzana's stuff is really awesome, but there's no real structure to it. It's mostly conditioning with some body-weight strength training involved.

I really curious about your own training schedule, and what you do now, including martial arts. This will make a big difference in terms of what you will need to compliment your current practice.

She looks like an excellent piece of workout equipment....

Well, if you must know, I run a club three days a week. Typical workouts include a 10 minute warmup, followed by 3 two-minute rounds of pummeling drills. Then, we drill partner techniques for about 35 minutes, rotating weekly between a curriculum of submission wrestling, San Shou, and MMA. The last 30 to 40 minutes of class consist of live sparring in whatever format we are training that week: multiple 4-minute wrestling rounds with a 1 minute break; two 3-minute kickboxing rounds with a 1 minute break; or two 3-minute MMA rounds with a 1 minute break. We rotate the sparring round-robin style, so everyone usually gets at least 4 rounds of live work in.

The end of most classes consists of 3 rounds of 6 to 8 Tabata stations (20 seconds of work/10 seconds rest), depending on how many people show up.

On my off days, I run 2 miles and spend about 30 minutes doing some stretching/qiqong.

Occassionally, I'll run through my forms just to keep them up.

That's a helluva lot of cardio, how's your conditioning when sparring? Do you get winded, or just muscularly tired? I really think lifting weights would be the best way to go for you. Probably the one dimension that is missing.

Look up Robert dos Remedios, he's had a book out for over 2 years now called Men's Health Power Training. You can also go to his site over at coachdos.com as well.

Wow.:eek:
That made my day...

My cardio is superb at the moment. I train guys that compete, which means I pretty much train to compete, as well. But you are right, I don't lift much. I integrate kettlebells and heavy throwing dummies into class (and into the Tabata sets), and I do a lot of bodyweight stuff, but I rarely lift weights.

Lets just stay off the topic of wood, please.

All of that is really solid stuff, but a well-balanced strength program will aid in a number of things:
1) you get stronger, of course
2) prevention of injury
3) increased muscular endurance
4) increased power endurance

There is more to that, but the most important thing is to get on a structured, periodized program. You can mix in the KB, bodyweight, and such stuff with that because it will keep you well-rounded. Obviously for someone like yourself there is no need to attempt a discussion for the need to cross-train. (which I can't understand why there are some people out there who still don't see the value in such a thing. None of us would even be practicing the martial arts we have today without CT.)
