No music for me when I practice. Full concentration on what I am doing. When you are in the middle of a TGU with that ball of iron dangling over your head, you do not want to get distracted.
For strength and skill based training I only listen to my body.
But for mind-numbing indoor endurance work like riding on my wind trainer or doing an hour of box steps... I would lose what little of my mind I have left if I didn't crank out some loud tunes. Rockabilly/Psychobilly
No music. I don't often listen for pure enjoyment anymore, so no point in listening while I train.
When I was first learning some Escrima and doing stick drills at home I'd play classical, seemed to help with flow. And some metal when working out on the heavy bag.
I might listen aggressive metal music before practice just to get the adrenaline flowing, but not during exercise. I love music and play electric bass and might focus too much to listening it. I don't want to hurt myself by losing focus when doing my lifts. So strength training and music separately for me.
No music. When I use iron above my head, I want to be focused. It is the same when I am upside down ! When training, I like feeling "here and now", in silence.
