Whether you can’t make it to your regular martial arts classes or you’re looking for some additional training, you might be searching for effective ways to supplement your martial arts training.
Check out these activities that can supplement your martial arts training:
1. Yoga
Yoga and martial arts have a lot in common, making yoga an excellent complement to your martial arts training. It’s a great way to build full-body strength and balance while increasing flexibility. If you have a limited range of motion in your joints and are looking for effective ways to improve flexibility, yoga will help. Lower intensity yoga classes that move at a slower pace are also good for active recovery and injury prevention.
2. Running, Biking, or Swimming
If you’re looking for ways to improve your endurance and stamina in martial arts, activities like running, biking and swimming will help. Swimming and biking are both low-impact options that can supplement your martial arts training. However, if you are looking for a cardio activity that you can do pretty much anywhere, then running is your best bet. All you need is a decent pair of running shoes.
3. Functional Fitness and Conditioning
No doubt that you get an effective full-body workout through martial arts. But there might be specific weaknesses that you’d like to address through strength training and physical conditioning. Functional fitness classes that target multiple elements of your fitness (such as speed, power, agility, coordination, strength, and balance) can be a good option to mix into your training routine. You can find workouts and class options online that focus on functional fitness while building core strength. Improving your fitness off the mats can improve your performance when you’re able to return to the mats.
