Rigorous beginner training

[Oreomeister365]

I'm fairly new to the martial arts, but just about all forms of exercise/working out I'm quite familiar with.

I'm curious if anyone has a good setup for a beginner in the arts wanting to get to their peak performance, physically and mentally. Things such as jump height and so on included. I'm quite willing to do any sort of work that doesn't make me throw up unneedliy.

but puking your guts out is just one of the best parts of rigorous martial arts training. A tenth degree blackbelt in any art could puke projectile vomit and blind his opponent from over 20 ft away! You should pick up sprinting for speed, plyometrics to get your hops and do plenty of hard cardio to stay conditioned and fit. If a fight is gonna last long make sure your the one who gets tired last.

Run.
Perform lots of bodyweight exercises at least 4x a week.
Stretch every day.
Do ab workouts at least 4x a week.
Do the Air Alert 3 program for jumping.
Spar/work on techniques a lot.

Punch

Since you're already familiar with most workout techniques, you're probably already doing them. Definitely keep that up. Explosive sprinting will help your footwork if your not already doing them.
To learn to punch.
Punch things. Get a bag.
Punch it hard, punch it often, and punch it alot.
Same thing for kicking
Then get a sparring partner; punch and kick them.

Your sparrig partner will teach you how to block, evade, seek and exploit weaknesses, and how to take a hit.

If you can punch and kick hard, fast, and for a long period of time. + you also learned how to exploit peoples weaknesses, you'll go far. You'll better be able to judge whether the techniques you're learning in class are actually feasable, and you'll learn the good ones faster. Not only that but you'll be able to remember them longer if you use them on someone that resists.

Read all that you can about Martial arts, and keep and open mind.
Doing these things above will help prepare you mentally.

Thanks for all your replies, I'm taking it all into consideration.
