    1:02 He is spot on about martial arts being a life style. It really got home for me when I got hurt at work and had to go on forced retirement.
    I’m walking with a cane and cannot kick any more. But I still “get out there and train”.
    I do my forms without the kicks, and train on the wooden dummy.
    So yeah, what Ando said about martial arts being a life style is absolutely accurate.

    There was a sensei I trained with for a while, in his late sixties at the time, over fifty years in the martial arts, who was short and had a slender bone structure, but was still built like a tiny tank. He would throw conditioning exercises into his conditioning exercises so he could condition while he conditioned. For example, while he was doing stretches, he'd hit the wooden dojo floor with his fists to condition his knuckles. While he was doing isometric exercises, he'd hit himself in the abs, legs, etc. to condition himself against strikes. He was already a senior citizen by the time I met him, but his sheer physical resilience was on a level that most people don't achieve at any point in their lives.

    I thought I did this, the train everywhere mentality just throughout the day doing little things on top of the work done in the gym but this has given me so many ideas
    I was talking to a friend the other day he's had training in boxing before but now he's ramped it up wanting to compete and he said he felt his movement wasn't as good as it should be. So I said "well I can show you were you should be putting your feet and we can rep out just moving in different directions while in a boxing stance here's how you pivot ect but honestly I feel like most people don't get good at this particular skill while in the gym, they are shown how but the most improvement comes from when your at home in your kitchen just practicing while your waiting for food to cook maybe using any sort of markings on the floor as a guide"
    I did record a video today for my Instagram it was just me in my office on my lunch break I had made a rubber band ball and I'm shadow boxing with it and I'm throwing the ball up in the air and catching the message behind it was kinda the same as this just little things through the day to help you improve, I didn't post it because what I was specifically doing I've never seen it used as a training method it's just something I've done when Im not doing anything more important, it feels like it helps with reflex's and coordination but that may be coming from other parts of training
    I might change my mind and post it now after seeing this it's kinda reinforced the idea for me so thanks guys that's a really big help

    What a coincidental video. After seeing your last video. Was a good interview. Took a while to get through it, me and some guys got talking about different things, but one thing we all agreed on, was that no matter what age, or physical situation we were in. We were still going to train. We had all been pretty busy this summer with work and holidays, so we started slacking a bit, but once we all got together and got some training in, we all agreed were addicted. It's just a part of us. A lifestyle. Regarding flexibility, you couldn't be more on. So many neglect it and don't do any at home. I won't say any styles or gyms, but changing over to one really made a few of us gasp as to how bad some people have it. They might do a tiny but of stretching at the beggining of class, which is debatable. It was always recommended to us at the old gym that dynamic was what you did to warm up, and than saved the static for after class, since it was known to weaken your muscles and actually increase the chance of injury. Iv definatly been the weird guy somewhere, maybe not doing the crane kick stance in a super market, but if I can adapt something g into combat practice at work, I %100 do it, and iv been caught. Oh have I been caught. The worst was when i was working far up north. No gyms, not even a Karate or tkd school to go bother people to grapple and spar in an open mat session. So I was hungry for a combative workout. This was years ago, don't have to do this extent of travel anymore, but i was a good 8 hours north from the closest major city in the boreal forest here in Central Canada. So I took what supplies I needed and went driving down a secluded one way road that was a hunting trail in the middle of winter at night. So I found a nice clearing after driving for a while. No one was around, had some privacy. So I made a punching bag out of cardboard and duck tape, and hung it from a tree. Flat large sheets of cardboard can create alot of weight quickly, and surprisingly when hung right, doesn't move much. I made some other simple targets to. It started off pretty basic. Just some kick boxing and whatever else on the one hanging target, but than I got creative. I don't know what I was thinking, but I let all that bent up energy out in the strangest of ways, because than came out any tool I had in my suv. And I had many a tool. So like a mad man I was going full blown zombie apocalypse style on these targets. Than, while taking a breather, I thought I heard shuffling in the bushes. So I open up the back seat of my suv and dive head first into it. And quickly close the door and lock it since we all know animals know how to open doors. So I grab a flashlight and do a perimeter check. Don't see anything. I slowly get out after a while. After some yelling and horn honking. I was planning on just taking everything down and going. So i look to see what kind of tacks were around those bushes. I shine the light into them and that's when i see them. Snow hare tracks. These critters are known to freeze still in the winter with their white camo when something unexpected approaches. It probably froze still when I drove up and was frozen the entire time while i destroyed the cardboard target. Than with the break I took, that's when it decided to run. So that was a relief because there was wolves in the area, and I had seen one crossing the road before. These weren't the skinny tall ones people think of. No, I was in Northern Manitoba at the time. These were thick and heavy grey wolves, and they would down a man if able to. So I do not regret diving head first into my suvs back seat. What I do regret is where I parked to do this. It's a hunting trail. The locals love hunting moose. Stopping an entire day's events if they see moose tracks in the snow to go find it. On these trails they have cameras. Turns out the clearing i was in May have been a prime spot to see a curious moose. A few days pass and everything seemed normal in the community. Then, however, it happened. A few people, in one particular familly all couldn't help but start laughing and smiling when they saw me in public. At first I'd just smile back, but when they start laughing uncontrollably, you know somethings up. That's when eventually I was notified. I was embarrassed, but than someone told me that they all understood my situation. If it was just me hitting the targets, it probably wouldn't of been a big deal, but the dive into the suv and than peaking outside the windows is probably what really got them. I have no regrets and would do it again. Not sure if youl catch this comment Ramsey, but I may know of a blonde spiked hair individual that may be wondering if your going to be around the mountain veiw area on your trek northward if you go that way.

  • @swankmank
    @swankmank Год назад

    i feel like joint strength is underrated, like targeted exersises for rotator cuffs and knees, even back strength too, supermans and bridges are great, neck mobility and strengthening, i feel that letting people know strong joints and its surrounding/supporting muscles, losing weight, and building endurance will help prevent you from grinding down your joints and cartilage over time, i see alot of martial artists on YT that don't explain to people you need to achieve a certain level of physical fitness before hopping around trying to do kicks, eventually you will build the strength through repetition but it might cost your body, interestingly enough fibrocartilige research has made some success in test animals, by adding VGEF and BMP2 to the body at the right times after microfracture treatment, the cartilige produced was of much higher quality, i have high hopes this will be a great asset to the world of sports

    OMG! Ramsey is wearing "normal people" clothes!
    It's a bit disorienting to see Ramsey wearing clothes other than a GI or rash guard-and-spats.

      Yep. I almost never wear jeans in real life. I wore them specifically for this video to show that you can, in fact, always be conditioning… even in normal people clothes!
