Martial Arts Flexibility

Most martial arts styles require some level of flexibility and therefore improving flexibility for martial arts will help you grow to new heights in your practice while still remaining safe from injury. While some people seem to have a natural ability to be flexible most of us need to work at improving our level of flexibility for martial arts. This article gives you a basic introduction of the types of information and training which professional martial artists carry out.

A Sumo wrestlers diet

A healthy man is thought to have a BMI (Body mass index) of 18. The BMI of a professional sumo wrestler is rarely found to be below 45. The sumo wrestlers diet and lifestyle is the key to this exceptionally large weight and despite the general opinion of most people, this is acheived through very rigorous eating and sleeping strategies rather than a mass endulgence in foods with high fat content.

Why martial artists should always warm up

Warming up serves a number of purposes, I’m going to look more closely at two of them, and more specifically, the science behind the warm up. I split my classes warm up into two parts, each one specifically designed to target one of the purposes for the warm up.

Its unfair that the article does on list the source of the article. I would say 90% of the text came from "Bruce Lee - The Art of Expressing the Human Body" by John Little, a former student of Bruce Lee and family friend of the Lee's. Also if you want to know more about Bruce's workout routine, then you should pick up this book.
