Here are some benefits of core training:īackache is a modern epidemic that is experienced by most people at some point in their lives. Especially as a martial artist, you simply cannot do without a strong core. Maybe all you want is just a set of shredded six pack but there are also plenty of other reasons to build up your core strength.

Without strong core muscles, the spine can be injured due to poor posture or body mechanics, particularly in activities involving heavy loads or fast movements. The cores muscles provide support, strength and flexibility for the spine. The core muscles stabilize, move and rotate the spine. In order to have a strong core, every muscle that makes up the core cannot be neglected. Besides the abs, core muscles also include the obliques, lower back, glutes and hips. Abs and core are often used interchangeably but there is a lot more to the core than just the six-pack.

Many people mistakenly associate the core with just the abdominal muscles. In this article, I discuss the importance of a strong core and the many ways to train it. However, core training has frequently been limited to abdominal training and usually involve only planks or crunches. The better your spine is stabilized with strong core muscles, the faster and more forceful your movements and strikes can be. If you didn’t already know this, the core is the source of power. And that's the heavy bag.Core is a popular topic in martial arts. After you throw, always be ready to either come back, block and then attack again. And when you come in always be ready to throw. When you close the distance, you're not going to close the distance and just kind of like stand there and ponder on what you're going to do. That will get you used to when you're actually against an opponent now. And whenever you come in, always be ready and engaged that you're going to throw a punch, a kick or whatever combination. You want to try and move around to the right, come out, circle around to the left. Try and throw as much as you can within the round and stay busy.

All we do on the heavy bag is put together combinations, punches, kicks, knees. I like to use the heavy bag sometimes as the sole purpose of the workout or maybe at the end of the workout.
