Jukaado Academy Of Martial Arts

The above video is formed by joining few basic training videos from the workshop. It is always enjoyable to teach or train people when they are actively participating. We trained in various self defense techniques from attacks like slap, hand grab, over head knife attack and so on.  Whenever I conduct workshops I consider it a success and effective when from a group of say 40 participants at the workshop if even 2 of them after the workshop take up some form of fitness routine or any game seriously on a daily basis.   Health is the treasure that we have but if not looked after then it will make it very difficult for us to enjoy any of our so called materialistic treasures or gains. Train to maintain your good health and improve your fitness levels. It is the best investment we can make for ourselves.  

This is our third video in our series of endurance training workouts. Endurance training is also often called as Crossfit workouts. Where varied exercises are combined together to make a very challenging workout circuit.  Please do not start training like the above video unless you are very fit or have a well qualified instructor to guide you. First you need to slowly build your stamina and endurance levels by simple workouts like jogging, skipping, cycling, rowing and so on. Once your stamina and fitness levels begin to improve you can gradually start with such a workout. You could start with about 5 -8 sets and slowly increase it over a period of time to 20 - 25 sets.  We are always ready to help in designing a workout perfect for your fitness needs or goals. So do get in touch with us for a personalized Crossfit program for you.                             Happy Training!!!

The above video is our second video in our series of endurance training videos. Training is not something that should differ with age or gender. This video is a good example of that. All the three students have a difference of minimum 8 years from each other. Under proper trained guidance anyone can train and achieve very high fitness levels. This endurance set is very tiring and after just 5 sets the body gets exhausted however with regular practice the students at our class are able to do 10 sets of this routine and lots of other training before and after these sets. So all we need is to be dedicated and disciplined and results will pour in.                                                                                                   ...

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 unde...

In my personal opinion body conditioning and endurance training are very important aspects in the training of martial arts. Often many practitioners give more importance to perfection of techniques and end up neglecting either body conditioning or endurance or both of them. I do not say that perfecting techniques is not important however a perfect balance has to be struck in the training routine so that none of the aspects of training lag behind. I have often noticed that many instructors tend to teach more of what they personally like for e.g. - if the instructor is fond of a good cardio workout he may focus more on that than other aspects of training.  Body Conditioning should be done slowly and under proper supervision of an instructor. Wrong or hasty training procedures could cause severe injury to both partners. The above video shows some simple ways you can condition the full body while training with a partner. The senior students - Swamibabu (black belt) and Pratee...
