Martial Arts Fitness Training includes a wide range of disciplines and skills. Speed, strength, endurance, flexibility and agility are major components of your overall goals.
To acheive high levels of fitness you must also pay major attention to your nutrition. If you are not fueling your body adequately then this will be counter productive to your training.
Punching and Kicking, grappling, sparring, throwing are performed over and over. On top of training for co-ordination, timing, speed, strength and power this can all take it’s toll on your body.
Their are many factors to consider when organising your Nutritional needs –
Eat a measured amount of complex Carbs approximately every 3 hours to ensure you are receiving the energy your body requires. Eat high quality proteins approximately every 3 hours to ensure effective muscle repair and growth. Keep the amount of fats you have to a minimum as it is not efficient energy source for high intensity training.
Martial arts nutrition is as critical as the training itself, give it the attention that it requires to be successful.
