Health & FitnessDiscuss health and fitness related to martial arts here
Lil Dragon, me and you have lots in common, lol. I breakdance too, I'm more about aerial moves though. But for fitness I simply perform calisthenics 5 days a week. Practice hand techniques on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; and leg techniques on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Daily I practice my dancin, flexibility and my footwork (skipping rope, bouncing around on toes, ali shuffle).
My Calisthenics:
Push-Ups on knuckles
Sit Ups
Weighted Adductor Flyes
Squats
Crunches
Leg Raises
Pull Ups

Mostly I just practice weapons.
The deep stances and extra weight of swinging the weapons builds muscle, and since the motions are usually the same as the empty hand ones, it builds the right muscle and speed.
I do, however, do some light lifting two or three times a week, as well as a bit of cardio in each of those sessions.
I practice in dojo 5 days a week, we start with warm up for about 10 min, then we stretch other 10 min, and then spar and kick for 40 min, saturdays I run and stretch by my own for about 1 hour, sundays I train upper body, biceps, triceps, shoulders, chest, everything with free weight training (tkd stresses a lot leg training, but almost nothing the upper body).
