Music while training?

[Apollo]

Just wondering if anyone else listens to music while training?

I've found the hard stuff's good for getting the blood pumping while sparring, or doing bag work/cardio, while doing forms I tend to prefer more medatative stuff.

I love to listen to music while training! While I do not use
music very often in my classes, I love to just go to my
private training space and put on a tune (usually filipino or
indonesian) and start banging the heavy bag with a stick!
Sometimes I like some more modern music to, especially
something fast and loud!

Not for my class but whn I practice alone or with ny son I play Rob Zombie

the beat gets me moveing

[arnisador]

I don't bother for myself, but many FMA instructors at whose schools I have studied seem to like to put on something with a heavy drum beat.

We have used music in training but it has been different Oriental music or some modern music. We are looking for authentic Filipino, Malaysian or Indonesian music to train to. Can anyone suggest a source or point us in the right direction. Salamat! Ben Harrison www.alakdanarnisador.com (http://www.alakdanarnisador.com)

Ben,

Visit the world music section of Borders Book or any major record store. I picked up "Philippine Gong Music from Lanao" many years ago.

Also visit www.eleanoracademia.com (http://www.eleanoracademia.com) for contemporary gong music.

Good luck!

For Filipino music, try doing a web-search for "kulintang". There was a site for a group that sold CD's of kulintang music, but it doesn't seem to be operating now. The Tower Records near me has many Indonesian music CD's, and I know Mickey Hart produced a great 2 CD set on the music of Bali.

I enjoy listening to Capoeira music & Indonesian.
Borders carried a nice selection of music from different countries. I found a few there.

Peace

Also a favorite of mine - I enjoyed listening to it while driving up to one of Tuhon McGrath's seminar series a couple of years ago. It's got a great tempo for practicing/getting ready to practice Filipino martial arts. Mine has worn out though - although I think that there is a CD version available somewhere.

Best,

Would anyone know what Cebuano folk music (especially for guitar) would have been/is prevalent post-1900? I have a list of www.amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com) CD's, including "Philippine Treasures," performed by Angelo Favis, that includes the following:

1. Sampaguita (Dolores Paterno) 2. Saan Ka Man Naroroon (Restituto Umali) 3. Doon Po Sa Amin (Traditional) 4. Ay Kaylisud (Traditional) 5. Maalaala Mo Kaya (Constancio de Guzman) 6. Ang Tagni Kong Pag-ibig (Constancio de Guzman) 7. Buhat (Miguel Velarde, Jr.) 8. Lagi Kitang Naaalala (Leopoldo Silos) 9. Minamahal Kita (Miguel Velarde, Jr.) 10. Hatinggabi (Antonio Molina) 11. Mutya Ng Pasig (Nicanor Abelardo)

This looks like a good start - but I'm just not sure which ones are specifically Cebuano/Visayan (although the liner notes probably point this out).

Best,

Steve Lamade

yea, for workout music, you basically need hard-hitting euro-dance music.... nothing else does the job really. Search around on itunes for "euro club hits" or check this link:

Only song 4 (Ay Kaylisud) is Visayan. The title means "It's so difficult". The other songs are all in Tagalog.

This CD looks promising: You can order it from divisoria.stores.yahoo.net:

"Mga Awit sa Gugma: Favorite Visayan Love Songs" (http://divisoria.stores.yahoo.net/mgaawsaguvil.html)

If you know someone in the PH, that's the best place to get CDs of Visayan songs.

For my personal workout I like to move to the Doors and the Stones and several others that would show my age. For a class of say 4 to 6 people I keep a pace by clapping my sticks to speed I want the class to move to.

Nope, not me. But it's probably because I live in the country where there isn't much noise to filter out. We train under the trees and it's conducive enough to help me focus.

Yeah, 70s rock does it for me...I'm too old for euro-dance music!

Nusrat is fantastic. I probably own over 20 of his recordings. Have you listened to either the Sabri Brothers or Rizwan - Muazzam Qawwali? Rizwan - Muazzam Qawwali is lead by two brothers, Rizwan Mujahid Ali Khan and Muazam Mujahid Ali Khan. Their Grandfather (Nusrat's Uncle) taught Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan the art of Qawwali..... Good stuff.

I like different types of music, depending on what sort of training I do that day. Basically anything from hard'n'heavy to varios types of world music...

In fact, for those of you who like to work out with a bit that is more on a heavy side of things, I'll let you know as soon as I upload some mucis of my own band :-)

[GLENNLOBO]

salsa musoic does it for me. some rock if i'm feeling rebellious

Also visit www.eleanoracademia.com (http://www.eleanoracademia.com) for contemporary gong music.


Guro El also has some good contemporary rock music as well. Her husband is Cass Magda and he plays a variety of music including hers during his seminars.

Rob Zombie

I used to think Nitzer Ebb & Front 242 provided good beats/atmosphere for practicing Sinawalli drills.

But lately i listen to progressive & trance mixes by Armin van Buuren (http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheVocalSession), Tiesto (http://www.radio538.nl/clubnouveau/podcast.xml), Ferry Corsten, Markuz Shulz, Max Graham (http://web.mac.com/maximiliangraham/Max_Graham_Podcast/Max_Graham_Podcast/Max_Graham_Podcast.html), Menno de Jong (http://www.mennodejong.com/?feed=podcast), Matt Darey (http://www.nocturnalradio.org/podcast/nocturnal.xml), Andy Moor (http://feeds.feedburner.com/AndyMoorMoormusic), Blank & Jones, Sjodalf, etc

If you are not familiar with trance, check out iTunes Radio - Electronic Streams: ETN.FM Trance Station, ETN.FM Progressive Station, XTC Radio, etc

Free mixes can be downloaded from the linked podcasts above and other sites such as Crystal Clouds (http://www.crystalclouds.com/forum/modules.php?name=Downloads).
