Home Training

[Supremo]

Can you kindly share how you train at home and what equipment you use to develop power or speed. I for one use two tires one hanging on top of the other to develop speed, power and coordination for delivering strikes in both the upper and lower part of the body. I'm eager to hear from everyone so I can also learn from what you have shared or will share on this topic.
Thanks everyone! :)

thanks for sharing Supremo!

for now I'm just using my sticks, a pair of heavy ones and then some light ones.

I'm planning to have tires set up in my garage, and good thing you showed your set up, looks good indeed.

Astig! kahit picture, ensayado! mukhang binabantayan ka bro!

Hi Tom.Yep.Astig indeed ,or tigas,ha ha.

It looks like you have a really good training setup.Is it a problem with the noise?

The picture is for inspiration.Nice one.

Correct me if I'm wrong po sir,if you looked at the picture, it's as if Master Elmer is touching the tire and is ready to strike at it.:)

ey i've seen those photo tricks before... like the one where guro seems to be kicking one of us in the family jewels.... hehe...

That is good workout chamber. I remember my uncle Elmer using a heavy stick when I was young. It is a good workout for power, you notice how light an ordinary stick would be after swinging a heavy one? hehe!

[Supremo]

Astig! kahit picture, ensayado! mukhang binabantayan ka bro!

Haha! When i hit the tire I imagine I'm sparring with my uncle, I also imagine my entire body in pain

Actually it does Shaun, so I make sure when I hit the tire its not siesta time, hehe! My other uncle in LA received a complaint by their neighbor because of the noise it makes every time he worked out . :coolyello

Oooooohhh, now I see it, hehe!

[arnisador]

Yes, that was a great angle for that shot!

this was my set up:

clicky clicky
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v375/littlebadboy/arnis/th_tires.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v375/littlebadboy/arnis/tires.jpg)

3 tires on top of each other fixed to a wall. just enough to represent the head, torso and lower portion of a person.

it was great! but since my mother moved to my place, she wanted to clear my place of everything that is not familiar to her. she gave my tires to the magbo-bote dyaryo. too bad i was away. she was about to give away my sticks and washing machine too... aurgh!... mothers...

[Supremo]

even the greatest warrior can never argue with their mother :coolyello

you are right! i tried to argue, but she said that i look silly beating tires with sticks... and tires are breeding grounds for mosquitoes... uso daw dengue. aurgh! so i thought, it's useless to argue.

[Supremo]

hmmm . . . I believe the late Bruce Lee also said the same thing: "Boards don't hit back" hehe!

[Banakun]

For home training, a tire is all you really need (or two, or three depending on your preferences)... plus a couple of sticks! Hahahahaha. Many people don't really realize the kind of development consistent tire hitting can bring... in terms of strength/power and form. But the noise is indeed a problem especially when you live in a neighborhood where houses are close to each other... hahahahaha. But seeing you hitting something with sticks, I don't think your neighbors will "mind!" Nobody sure seemed to mind in my neighborhood! Hahahahaha. Of course I'm just kidding!

its also very pschologically satisfying! its such a nice way to ease away tension. thats why arnisadors are such well adjuted people.... its cheap counseling :)

It's probably because they'd rather see you hit the tires than the neighbors. hehe

hey lbb, i agree with supremo, mothers have learned this universal MA applicable to all nationalities, maybe similar to the art of the curler smoking mrs. in kung fu hustle! :coolyello

going back to your tire set-up, that is a good set up. could you share how you fastened the tires to the wall?

thanks!

the technique is to hit the tire uno, seis, doblada then stare coldly at you neighbor watching, haha! alas! no complaints!

does lifting weights at home help develop speed? I'm worried that weight lifting might affect speed.

[Batongbuhay]

add a pic of Mang Ben onthe other wall! that way they both teach yah

[Supremo]

funny coz I was thinking of the same thing, haha!

i just placed the 3 tires on top of each other, at each midpoint of the tire where it makes contact with the wall, i drove in nails one on each side to tie the tires on to it, and then tied the tires together also on top of each other. i used nylon rope for tying.

if you want, i have extra tires at home, its yours if you want it. when my mom gave the tires to the bote dyaryo, i bought a new set to setup. but i thought that my psycho mom would just dismantle it again anyways...

oh i have another "mom" story. she saw my nasty bruise on my thigh (courtesy of the lema cup '08), she said "you're going to die of skin cancer...", and then she saw my busted lip (courtesy of an uppercut), she said again "you're definitely going to die of cancer..."

what is it with cancer?!!!

[chamber]

lbb salamat sa tip, i'll definitely take you up on your offer re-tires, will coordinate with you. thanks!

i think your mom wants to scare the hell out of you, so everything's 'cancerous'. imo i don't think that'll stop you... different also if your wife's the one telling you that, i'll get more worried. :coolyello

just returned from holiday so i'm half asleep, but if you live long enough, cancer will get you!! statistically 80% of ninety year olds have a cancer.. so she is wishing you a long life and happy training!!
lol

"different also if your wife's the one telling you that, i'll get more worried. :coolyello" think you should worry more if your wife says youre gonna die of food poisoning....

[GLENNLOBO]

with the tyres chained together do they move a lot and is this a problem with the striking?

[Dawn]

what are the training pros and cons of having the tires hung and moving about compared to having it tightly tied and stationary?

One of the advantages of having a swinging tire is that you get to practice your sigida, abierta and retrasada the way a boxer uses a punching bag to practice his combinations, body coordination especially the footwork. A swinging tire is the closest you can get to a live opponent in that you can move forward as the tire moves back or you may move to the side as you deliver a strike as the tire lunges towards you. The only disadvantage I see on a stationary tire is that you don't get to practice these movements I mentioned regarding a swinging tire.

The disadvantage I see on both the swinging and stationary tire is that they both don't hit back, hehe!

gosh that's what my mom said too! she said, "pinagpa-praktisan mo yang gulong, palo ka ng palo eh ala namang kalaban-laban yan at hindi gumaganti!" can somebody translate it better for me?

Ah, ok. Thank you. :)

From the pictures, it seems a swinging tire needs more space (360 deg all around?) and that could be a disadvantage for home training.

I suppose.. that's what students training at your home is for? Hahaha, I'm kidding. Home training pa rin naman <it's still home training> :laugh:

its one of the main reasons i teach!!.of course you do run out of WILLING vistims, but the tyres dont whine as much!! ex-wife got rid of mine,.. gotte get some new ones!!! chained or fixed.. or get a student to hold them???

Sabihin mo na lang sa nanay mo, "Ma, sa kape naman nanggagaling ang kanser.. Ka-pe-pindot at ka-pe-pisil! :EvilGrin:

Sorry, fellas, it loses flavor in translation! :D

[citom]

gosh that's what my mom said too! she said, "pinagpa-praktisan mo yang gulong, palo ka ng palo eh ala namang kalaban-laban yan at hindi gumaganti!" can somebody translate it better for me?

"You keep on practicing on that tire... you keep hitting it, but it's not resisting.. it can't fight back!"

I like it in Tagalog better... reminds me of... sigh.. my mother..

[arnisador]

Sounds like Bruce Lee: "Boards and bricks...don't hit back."

[Supremo]

actually I got this line from the Bruce Lee movie Enter The Dragon, hehe!
