MORNING WORKOUT: CONDITIONING

Extra warmup:

Speed kata, 3 minutes

IYTWL, 14 each

Candlestick roll/reverse burpees, 8x5

Side leg raises, 2x14/side

Exercises:

Beginner plyo pushups, 3x9

Tuck jumps, 3x9

Ballistic kata, 5 minutes

Woke up too late for the full workout, so I stuffed in as much ballistic work as I could.

Ballistics gives you power, speed, physical toughness from impact, and endurance. I need to work on all of those as a fighter, so I'm going to shift to a new focus on that when I shift to the new workout phase.

As for what speed kata or ballistic kata are, it's just it sounds like. One is the kata just sped up, while the other is done with as much power as possible in each strike. Think of it as skill work PLUS the workout benefits you can get from it.
