When I was in competitive martial arts in my youth and in the military. I found arm endurance was critical as leg endurance to a competitive activities. From the high pan-aerobic type exercises I could lock my arms and people could not break my locks. In organized team work outs we would do pushups for arm endurance. The pushups would condition the triceps and the pecs but not the biceps, and forearms, which were my fortie (I think that is the correct spelling). I had influences who were into alternative forms of exercise one that stuck is the link below. I am thinking this kind of conditioning would also improve the abilities of the stick fighter. Since the suggested movements are from light sticks to heaver sticks. When in public someone can use weights with the same movements, and bring less attention to themselves.
I am not sure please let us know what your thoughts are. Can this type of exercise improve the fighting potential of a competitor?
