Jukaado - Endurance Training - 1




Endurance training is very important to any sports person. Nowadays endurance training is not only used by professional sportsmen but also by those who desire to get fit or get in shape. Endurance is the base of the fitness structure the more stamina you have and the more you can sustain rigorous workouts the higher would be your fitness level. It is sometimes misunderstood and wrongly portrayed by people or trainers.

As I always tell everyone it is not recommended to just watch some video and start training like that nor should you ask your trainer to make you do the same workout if the trainer is not aware of it. Fitness training is a science and unless you have thorough knowledge of a specific workout routine it is best not to try it out. A wrongly done workout without proper supervision could be more harmful than the benefits it could get you. Sometimes the injuries from a wrong workout routine may start surfacing after many months or years. So do train only under a trained instructor. 

We had no plan to shoot this video. I was early at class and training on my own after about an hour Pawan the student with me in the video came to class. I started him on with the same routine I was doing for the last 1 hour. It was then that it struck me that we have not done videos on endurance training and we just decided to shoot it. So after training for 1.5 hours in the same routine and Pawan doing the routine for 30minutes we still had enough stamina to shoot the video. This is called Endurance. The ability to push oneself to the extreme. 

Since we are on the topic of endurance training I would like to mention a bit about our students Swamibabu and Prateek. Both of them are very regular with the morning training with me. Where we go for a long jog and do lot of conditioning too. Today after many months of regular training both of them are able to keep up with me during the jog ( it is more like a sprint). We easily cover a distance of 5km within 12 -15 minutes and a distance of 10km within  30 - 38minutes and train for 1 - 2 more hours after that  . This shows that Endurance is a slow and patient process. Do not hurry to get results just be regular and train wisely. As Swamibabu often tells the new students who join us - Don't think just do it and be disciplined.   

                                                                       Happy Training!!!

Importance of Self defense training for all.

Self defense training is a life skill that is very important for all to learn irrespective of age, gender or fitness levels. It is the training to be ready and prevent being a victim of a violent assault or crime. Self defense is about how we respond in the first 10 to 15 seconds after being physically attacked and also about the few minutes prior to that.  Very often the attitude of most people is - Why do I need to learn all this, we have the law to protect us and it won't happen to me. Yes we do have a wonderful law enforcement departments like the police and the judiciary to protect us and give justice etc. But we are our own first responders. There is no police patrol vehicle following each of us to protect us as soon as something happens. Self defense training is exactly for this time zone between being attacked and the police coming to the scene to protect you. We need to train for this exact moment on how to respond when attacked violently and prevent ourselves ...

It is all about the MINDSET.

Everything in life boils down to mindset. If we wish to be good at anything we need to first fix our mindset. Once the mindset is on point then there is nothing we can not achieve, heal, grow from or excel at. Usually people try to change the way they do things while they are doing it and then once it is done with they let it go. It doesn't work that way. If we wish to do something or achieve something there is only one way, that is - just get it done. There is no other way or I will start slowly etc.  If you wish to be a good martial artist or good at self defense then you have to become it. You can't train few times a week and expect to be good at it. It doesn't matter how focused you are or how much effort you are putting when you train, if it is not your mindset then you aren't going to be good at it. You need to be in that state 24/7. You have to be alert, aware all the time, your situational awareness should be always on, is your head always on the swi...

Escape and Evade

Escape and evade is a drill we use at Jukaado to build on ones ability to be calm and execute even while being beaten or pushed around.  Many times when someone gets into a confrontation which may escalate into a fight, some may freeze out of shock or just not know where and how to move when the first push or punch is executed. This drill helps in building the ability to function even when we are being knocked in the head. To find gaps and escape from the triangle of attackers. To evade the attack to create a gap to escape.  Situational awareness is always important. Keeping distance in an altercation is also important. However even if we may slip up on both these we need to train to get out of the mess and evaluate what needs to be done. One may be in a verbal confrontation with an individual while 2 of his or her friends cover you from the back and the side. This is a pretty bad place to be in from a self defense perspective. We can only remedy it but there will be some coll...
