I have asked a semilar question before. The reaction was: stick to PM of ETK and thats it.
But everywere you read on Internet they say that martial artist have to be strong, powefull, explosive etc. Off course I knwo this is true and I know a lott have to do with sharpening your skills. But I cant imagine what the PM will do to get you stronger. To me it seems more cardivascualir then building some strenght. And I aleady train that with punching and kicking the bag, sparring etc.
But then again, I dont know for sure if martial artist have to go for heavy bench press, squat and deadlift.
I like bodyweights much, things like you can see on www.bar-barians.com but these guys train a lott, sometimes more then 2 hours a day, and I dont think thats good for martial artist.
Off course I have kettlebells but you cant make them heavyer, if its get easy you just have to do more reps or buy another kettlebell, and I dont know if thats the way you get stronger.
So I dont know the best way to get stronger for martial artist withouot taking to much time away to train martial arts to. I try to train martial arts 2-3 times a week, run/sprint 2 times a week so I dont have hours left to spent. Have to say that I am a little bit older (53) but I have practiced all kinds off martial artist since the age off 15, so I think I am in a good shape. But still, when I started there was nothing you can find about supplementary training in the 70-ties, so I just did the normal push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups etc. But now you can read about hundreds of routines almost everyday and I dont know whats the best way is to keep it simple but effective.
So if anybody have some guidelins it would be great. I train at home so I have a bench, barbell, dumbells and I can do pull-ups and dips, off course I have 2 kettlebells (20 and 24 kilo) and a sandbag of 40 and 60 kilo and off course a heavy bag to kick and punch.
