Training with ergonomic aids

Training with ergonomic aids can enhance standard Karate training overtime whether we use them for resistance work or over speed training. Varied training helps to keep sessions interesting and motivates athletes to work hard. It brings fun to training whilst increasing loads will develop strength and bring forward the onset lactic acid. Excellent for lactic threshold and tollerance development!!




Trial and error is a good way to develop specific training drills, heres one which is common to Karate, however we added resistance to the punches to add intensity to the exercise. Then after an alloted time significantly reduce the resistance and continue the exercice.

Take a look!!
