Can you mix up Gym exercises with martial art training
Doing weight training, is helpful when doing martial arts training. They don't go hand in hand, but when doing both, you are training for the other. Does that make any sense?
Martial arts require alot of dexterity, stomach muscles, leg muscles, coordination, and balance. Weight training, can give you those requirments, and it can also give you more stamina, and more power. You don't want to gain to much size, because martial arts requires speed, and the bigger you are, the slower you are, but you have more power.
You should be able to find a gym that has martial arts training, or martial arts classes, that has a gym. I think it would be better if you were to do both.
Martial arts will give you more flexibility. As long as you don't have so much bulk that you can't turn around to wipe your @SS LOL.
Weight training is great for a lot of reasons. You can take more damage, inflict more damage, increase your striking power, increase your endurance, and generally become more athletic, etc. I do not have enough time to write up a comprehensive training plan... I'll give you some ideas. One for strength training (which will gain you some mass but you will not look like a body builder), use higher weights and lower reps. For endurance training, medium-lighter weights with high reps and not much rest time in between.
Great exercises if done with good form: Squats, deadlift, bench press (just cause you have to), chin ups/pull ups, dips, leg curls (needed), farmers walk with weights, calf raises, core exercises (core exercies include the lower back), lat pull downs, etc. etc.
Oh, it is a COMPLETE myth that weight training reduces your effective flexibility. As long as you train your sport or martial art along with your weight training and do the weights correclty you are fine. The ideas of bulk usually stems from body building which which builds mass without much actual functionality. Body builders only work on mass and lots of calories and such. They are not concerned with strength training or endurance. You want functional strength. You want both strength training then change over to endurance and back again. You need to change your routine at least 1 x per 6-10 weeks for better results. You could work upper body one day, then your lower body and maybe your core on the third day and repeat... or you could do one work out day per 3 days or every 2 days.
The losing flexability thing is an old wives tale. It is based on the idea that you will use muscle instead of technique, which may be true when you are just starting, but after you train you wouldn't be muscling people instead of using technique.
many martial arts teachers and boxing coaches don't like you to lift while training, it is based on this erroneous belief.
