Teep Instructional Teaser:
Hey everyone! I’m going to be doing an in depth instructional on Teeps/Pushkicks. This is just a quick demo of first two but I’ll be going over many more in the instructional. Let me know if you any issues regarding Teeps that you want me to cover!

We don’t use them much in Kyokushin but the more I watch I think they would be amazing for setups or just disrupting someone’s attack.
Calf Pull (Member’s Question)
One of the things we all encounter sooner or later is a pull in the calf muscle. One of the members here has asked about what can be done to prevent it, so I’ve made a little video to explain what I do, and why. I’ve done this a couple times and it’s no bueno, as we really need that muscle since it’s responsible for the first part of the triple extension. Basically you need it anytime you’re doing some athletic movement. So here’s what I have done to help prevent this. Note, I am not a physiotherapist. I am not saying this is for everyone just simply what I’ve started doing and since I’ve started doing it, I have not had any issues with my calf. Ps if you have any questions like this lmk and I’ll answer then best as I can. This will be free of charge for now!

And yes based on your video that is the spot at the bottom that gives the most grief. By the way I tried your dynamic warmup prior to my workout and the post workout static exercises. Definitely keeping that in the rotation. Great info.
Simple Super Strength Guide:
For those struggling to balance their skill training with Strength Training, here you go- 6 moves, 2 workouts, about 30 minutes each time. Over the course of 2 weeks that is about 3 hours - talk about TIME EFFICIENT!

Cheers, love the simplicity of this.
Your Program??
Since a big part of this community is to focus on Strenth and Conditioning, I thought I'd see what you're all working on! For me personally my main focus is Strength based power lifting with some O-lifts and Ballistic training to maintain (at least) some explosive/speed strength. What are you working on, and what kind of program do you follow?

I’ve always had an issue balancing strength training and the dojo. Especially since I’m now in my 40s. It’s hard sometimes to think less is more in the gym but when the focus is on the art these days it’s just something I have to accept.

The hard part is figuring out the essentials and stripping the rest down.

Hello folks, lifetime martial artist in my 40s. Trained in a variety of styles both stand up and ground. Currently training Kyokushin for the past year. Looking to learn how to balance strength training with the dojo and a busy family life. Cheers.
