What music do you train to?

[Violent Designs]

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?

[David Jamieson]

no music.

I seek solitude from noise and try to hear my guts when I train. :)

[wenshu]

I like hip hop, especially while doing the treadmill or HICT work.

Most recently;

OFWGKA; Free Earl (http://oddfuture.com/)

haha good one.

:cool:

[Golden Arms]

None. I find it interesting enough without music, and when training to develop the spirit, I would prefer it to be less pleasant, not more.

[Drake]

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.

[Hendrik]

This one for my SLT at quiet midnight since WCK suppose to be "soft sentiment similar to water flow" in feeling.

[jdhowland]

I never listen to music when I train.

It interferes with the voices in my head.

[hskwarrior]

I stopped listening to music during my training when it interfered with the porno's i'd watch during training :eek:

I got turned on to Drum 'n Bass by one of my Canadian students. I use that as well.
I also use classic Santana or Afro-Cuban/Salsa music to train to. I also listen to my Detroit student's band Dogz Of War http://www.angelfire.com/indie/dogzofwar/mp3.html

[Fei Ling Skool]

Pharoahe Monch is always good for bagwork. Or the train ride to Sifu's. Gets me hyped.

[Jimbo]

None anymore.

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"). :p

lololol!! :D

No, just the black gi.
But one time I remember my Kenpo teacher taking the night off; he briefly checked on the class and left in his white or tan disco suit...big, pointy collars, platform shoes, you name it. :)

[hskwarrior]

He didn't have fish in the bottom of his platform shoes did he?

[hskwarrior]

I know CLFNOLE was one of those guys who wore the bell bottom pants with a blond white boy fro with glitter in his hair. HAHAHAHA.

[Lucas]

For me it depends on what I'm doing. Generally its hardcore, electric or hip hop. Although I'm a product of the 70s and 80s music scene and I listen to very little that came out after the 90s. Death metal or grind core is pretty much always acceptable to me. You can catchme grooving to some classical . Taiko is some heavy stuff to train to because often the drummer(s) is putting a lot of physical energy into themusic

[CLFNole]

I know CLFNOLE was one of those guys who wore the bell bottom pants with a blond white boy fro with glitter in his hair. HAHAHAHA.

Quite the opposite actually...I was a b-boy and into break dancing. Track suits and adidas with fat laces. The bell bottoms and Saturday Night Fever platform shoes would have been my Dad.

As to what I train to it is all rock...classic, alternative, metal, hair metal, progressive, punk, emo...I cover it all. Either that or total silence works well also.

[Lucas]

sometimes i like to listen to soundtracks from good martial arts movies. usually a good mix of styles but groovin to martial arts.

[Jimbo]

He didn't have fish in the bottom of his platform shoes did he?

No fish. :)

Speaking of bell bottoms, the closest I ever had to those were something called "Kickin' Jeans" in the early '80s. They were jeans specially designed so you could kick without tearing them. Basically, the crotch area was designed the same as gi pants. I got 'em thru Black Belt magazine (Bill "Superfoot" Wallace modeled them in the ad) and I wore them about a year or so. I'd almost forgotten about those!

Back OT:
If I listened to music during training again, it would definitely be '70s (classic rock).

The Kickin' Jeans predated that and had a definite bell-bottom look. I can't find the ad for them, though...

[bawang]

i do bicep curls to this song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph1Sn3li54I

i also play thsi song when i eat cereals in the morning

[BDBSK]

John Lee Hooker man.

[Syn7]

i could never narrow it down to one genre, let alone one song... even when im not listening to music i have music in my head... all the time... i find the best time to write music is when youre nowhere near any instruments... i create it all in my head then do my best to get it down later... it never ends up the way i originally intend it to, but its my process and it works for me...

[hskwarrior]

Here is a few tracks i listen to while training:

whos that rapping with max?

i still miss old sepultura. RIP last time i saw soulfly though it was basically a sepultura show, they did maybe 3 or so soulfly songs, but they were with slayer so i think thats why.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq_XIcPtFO8&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0fo8uOYeBI

that second song, the instrumental, is dedicated to the kaiowas tribe that commited mass suicide in protest of the destruction of their homeland in the rainforest.

oh if anyone likes sepultura check out nailbomb, thats oldschool seplutura and fudge tunnel. :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03WwrI6B8FU industrial thrash, this songs badd ass
