The forearm is a very important part of the body specially for a martial artist. During kumite or sparring it is the forearm that would most likely bare the impact of punches and kicks aimed at your torso or the head. Moreover a strong forearm with a well conditioned bone is a formidable weapon when struck with too. The video below is a guide on the different ways the forearm can be conditioned. There are numerous ways and means to go about it we have made the video showing some of the ways. The conditioning of any bone is a slow and patient process being excited or over zealous can only result in severe injuries and at times even permanent damage. Always listen to your body, if the bone is in pain or has lots of swelling then give it rest for a few days and then go about with the conditioning. Diet and rest are equally important so never neglect them for more hours of training. If the body is not well rested it could lead to lots of complications. To condition the forearm we can use...

In this post I hope to help people who are above 30 and simplify how they should go about getting fit. There are a lot of people who usually don't workout much or just go for an occasional morning or evening stroll in the near by park. These are the people who don't know what to do or they get misguided when they develop signs of joint pains or their doctor prescribes regular exercise to beat their rising sugar or cholesterol levels. Most of these people in this situation end up joining gyms, yoga or aerobics studios or start doing some workout on their own. For making the post more inclusive we will consider people who have not done any workout for quite some time now except for an occasional walk. Before we get into discussing how one should go about with the workout I would like to caution one and all about a very peculiar and wrong situation that prevails in most gyms in India. When a new member joins a gym which has more than one head coach who assigns the workout to all ...

Recently I saw the national selections of Muay Thai in India which was held at Hyderabad. It was a total disaster, I felt very sad seeing martial arts being made a mockery of like this. Muay Thai is an awesome martial art which is very very demanding and needs the whole body to be conditioned like rock itself. Sadly during these selections the participants were wearing shin guards, abdomen guards, elbow guards and head guard. While in authentic Muay Thai the fighters only wear groin guard and a gum guard.  Most martial arts need the body to be completely conditioning and those training in them spend a lot of time and effort working towards getting the bones and flesh conditioned like rock. The parts of the body conditioned are instep, shin bone, thigh, stomach, rib cage, the lats, palm, knuckles, forearms and the neck. So basically martial artists beat almost the whole body to condition it and prepare it for a real attack or strike. However proper conditioning methods, adequate he...

 Often I get calls from people inquiring about training in Martial Arts and if they are above the age of 25years the usual question is - Can I train at this age? I hope that our student Swamibabu can be a source of inspiration to all such people. About 8 years back most people in India believed that once you have touched 30 years of age walking is the best and only exercise to do. With growing awareness on health and fitness people of all age groups are training at gyms or going to play sports. However people are still a bit cautious when it comes to Martial Art training. Martial Arts can be learnt and trained in at any age there is no limit. However when you join it is best to inform the instructor about any ailments you have like diabetes, high or low blood pressure etc or if you have had any muscle or bone injury.  The video below is a tribute to our dear student Swamibabu who at his age of 45 is much fitter and tougher than most people in the age group of 20 - 3...

The 2 hour training consisted of  :-  1 ) A 6km jog around the hilly terrain of KBR Park,   2) Abdomen crunches,  3) Bunny jumps and push ups on steps   4) Lots of pad work after the jog.

Nowadays either people are too cautious with their diet or just don't care, very few strike a true balance between diet, rest, meditation and workout. Most people due to lack of knowledge think diet control is the key to losing weight or getting the curves they want. So as soon as people sign up at a gym, fitness class, sports club or martial arts club or class they often ask the trainer "What diet should I follow? " before even sweating it out a single session. For most people who workout or train for 1 hour to 1.5 hours a day their normal diet is usually good enough may be just a bit changes here and there is fine. Sadly these are the people who think they are doing too much workout and end up trying all sorts of diets which they hear from friends or trainers or read in some book. Every individual needs a diet differently designed according to their goals, body structure, workout routine and fitness levels. My sincere request to such people is that please do not just fo...
