    What music do you train to?

    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?

    It is bias to think that the art of war is just for killing people. It is not to kill people, it is to kill evil. It is a strategem to give life to many people by killing the evil of one person.

    no music.

    I seek solitude from noise and try to hear my guts when I train.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

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

    Most recently;

    OFWGKA; Free Earl

    Last few days I've been rocking out to this and Only Built for Cuban Linx pt II


    Not hip hop
    I will slip into the groove and cut me up. . .

    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.

    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.

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

    I never listen to music when I train.

    It interferes with the voices in my head.

    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
