Momath Stranger Registered: 10/06/07 Posts: 2	Guys, how about a comprenhensive list of weight training exercises to complement my Muay Thai training? I train 3 times a week (1.5 hours each) so I think I am able to weight train twice a week. Any info on what has worked for you or how you currently train would be of great help. Thanks

shills11 Member Registered: 07/19/07 Posts: 375 Loc: Glasgow Scotland	Never actually felt the need to use weights, i know that the science behind weight lifting for strength is very advanced now but still havent found the urge to start hitting the weights, I'm naturally quite big at 6'3 and 95 kilos and i train 5 nights a week with lots of floor exercises/plyometrics for strength building. Muhamad Ali never used weifghts but mind you muhamad ali wasnt kicking anybody or clinching (Not legally Anyway) _________________________ Its not about how hard you hit, its about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward

Taison The Forum Dragon Professional Poster Registered: 09/06/05 Posts: 3629 Loc: BKK, Thailand	Muhammad Ali was a black belt TKD practitioner, mind you. He had great abs developed from kicking. Not sure if he could, but I think he could do the splits. -Taison out _________________________ I got two fists.. Don't make me use my head as well!

shills11 Member Registered: 07/19/07 Posts: 375 Loc: Glasgow Scotland	You learn something new every day!, maybe the TKD helped give him that exceptional footwork _________________________ Its not about how hard you hit, its about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward

shills11 Member Registered: 07/19/07 Posts: 375 Loc: Glasgow Scotland	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29qI1GyhDeg&mode=related&search=inoki you got me thinking taison and i found this link (is you tube still band in thailand?) i'm sorry if it is but i couldnt find it elsewhere. Its Muhammad Ali vs. Antonio Inoki - 1976 (you've probably seen this before anyway) i think Ali did a lot of TKD for this fight. It was a bit of a farse really _________________________ Its not about how hard you hit, its about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward

Taison The Forum Dragon Professional Poster Registered: 09/06/05 Posts: 3629 Loc: BKK, Thailand	No. He had his great footwork before he started training TKD under, I think it was Jhoon Ree. Anyway, he learnt that balance from great legs lended a lot of power to your punches. Also, coming from personal experiences, the torquing of your hips used much in TKD can be used with great effect in boxing for hooks and crosses, maybe something Ali picked up, but I'm not sure. It's just all speculations. -Taison out _________________________ I got two fists.. Don't make me use my head as well!
