How Hard Can You Hit?
There’s a lot of nonsense going around about how the ancient martial artists trained. There always has been bull floating around in the martial arts and fighting communities. It’s a great way to make money to sell people on the hidden-secret-death-strike that will give you invincibility, and super powers all with no physical training. “Who cares if you’re out of shape? If you just learn our secret technique ninjas and ultimate fighters will fear you!”
That’s a lie!
We all know of ancient and historical martial arts figures who were incredible fighters. Many times it’s chalked up to, “Well they practiced this brand of kung fu, or they boxed, they did lots of pushups and lifted a set of four-pound dumbbells and suddenly they became super-human strong, could punch holes through concrete walls, leap over tall buildings with a single bound, blah, blah-blah, blah-blah.”
Let me tell you friends, none of that is true. You don’t get strong without heavy training. You don’t get truly enduring without the right combination of muscular and aerobic endurance work. You don’t learn to fight without fighting. You don’t learn to hit hard without understanding how to make your body do the work. And you don’t get them all together unless you train for it. Anybody who tells you different is looking to fleece you.
None of the old time masters got to be super human without incredibly devoted practice to their specific fighting style and combination training. All around the world, in the true traditions of the martial arts, before they were watered down to be comfortably sold to soccer moms, there was hard training.
Everybody has some combination of heavy work, endurance work, isometrics, resisted striking, bodyweight exercises and light explosive implement exercises. Do you think it’s a coincidence that all the old time fighting cultures use the same basis of training? Do you think all they ever did was a little bit of meditating, a couple of push ups and some shadow boxing?
If you do I have some ocean-front property in Iowa I’d like to talk to you about.
They all use the same basic formula, it just all comes out with different tools. Because that formula is what it takes to build a super-human body and to actually be able to hit harder than weak dishwater. That’s the formula we have presented for you in How to Hit Like a Freight Train. There is no other way around it.
