Street Fighter- Fei Long Add-on #2

Here is the last add-on for Fei Long's training. It's not something that should be done by itself, but in addition to the main Fei Long workouts, if you are up to it.  

Fei Long Add-on #2

1. 3 x 3 Minutes Shadow Kicking
2. Front Kick- 3 Sets of 12 Reps (each side)
3. Side Kick- 3 Sets of 12 Reps (each side)
4. Round Kick- 3 Sets of 12 Reps (each side)
5. Back Kick- 3 Sets of 12 Reps (each side)
6. Hook Kick- 3 Sets of 12 Reps (each side)
7. Splits Stretch- 2 Minutes
8. Front Kick Stretch- 1 Minute (each side)
9. Side Kick Stretch- 1 Minute (each side)
10. Splits Stretch- 1 Minute

Notes:

• Shadow Kicking is just like shadowboxing, except you are only going to kick during the round times. You can use any and every kick in your arsenal during this time period, so have fun!
• At first glace, 3 sets of 12 reps on the kicks don't seem that daunting... until you realize that 1) You've already done 9 minutes of kicking before that, and 2) It's 3 sets of 12 reps on each side, which means it's 72 total kicks per type of kick.
• You can use either the front or rear leg when doing the sets of kicks and kick low, middle, or high, but do only one type per set. So, you can do 12 front leg side kicks to a low target one set and then, 12 front leg side kicks to a high target the next. And remember, it has to be 12 reps of that kick on each leg. Plus, you could also practice spinning or jumping variations of the kick during this time. AND, you can also do them in the air, on a heavy bag, against a double-end bag, or a pads that someone is holding. There are a ridiculous number of options here!
• I'm pretty sure you'll find that not only will your legs be wiped out after this workout, but most of your mid-section as well, since kicking activates your core muscles to a high degree, because that's where a lot of your power is going to come from.

I hope you enjoyed Fei Long's training. I realize it is not an exhaustive list of Bruce Lee's training methods during his lifetime, but I tried to make the best of it without creating 15 different Fei Long workouts...  I realize Retsu Kaioh has a lot of training already, but they aren't workouts, but just training methods and... (going to shut up now).

Until next time, good luck and train hard!

Street Fighter- Fei Long Add-on #1

This add-on is meant to be done with one of the three main Fei Long workouts. It is not necessary that you use an one of these add-ons, but it just to throw in some variety and to make things more challenging when you need them to be. So, here's the first one!

Street Fighter- Fei Long Add-on #1

1. 500 Punches
2. Sit-ups- 6 Sets
3. Side Bend- 6 Sets
4. Leg Raises- 6 Sets
5. Flag- 2 Sets
6. Twist- 6 Sets
7. Back Bend- 2 Sets
8. Splits Stretch- 2 Minutes
9. Front Kick Stretch- 1 Minute each side
10. Side Kick Stretch- 1 Minute each side
11. Splits Stretch- 1 Minute

Notes:

• For the punches, they can be done in the air, a heavy bag, into sand, or whatever your level of conditioning will allow. The can also be any type of punch that you like, but stick with one type for each workout. And it's 500 reps total, not on each side.
• Sit-ups can be done on the ground, on a decline bench, or hanging depending on your fitness or your current level of fatigue/soreness. You could also hold a weight if you like. If you are going to do less reps, you should generally use weight or a decline bench to increase the difficulty. Otherwise, you can stick with just bodyweight.
• The side bends can be done with weight or without. If you are going to do them with weight, you can either hold a dumbbell in one hand for a number of reps and then switch, or you can have a barbell (just the bar) across your back and alternate left and right sides.
• Bruce Lee's Flag
• Twists can be done with just your arms swinging or a stick across your shoulders. If you are going to use weight, you can hold a weight in your hands in front of your body, remembering to just twist at the waist and not swing your arms around too much. 
• For back bends, you put your hands on your hips, just above your glutes and bend back as far as you can without falling over.
• You'll notice that there are no set reps or weights for any of these. This is primarily so that you can modify it to fit your needs for that particular day.

That's all for today. Until next time, good luck and train hard!

Street Fighter- Fei Long's Cardiovascular Training

This workout is based on some of the cardiovascular training done by Bruce Lee during his life. You'll notice that some of it is martial arts related, but that's for obvious reasons. This is the last of the "base" workouts for Fei Long and the next couple will be "add-on" workouts that should be combined with the other three (if your fitness is up to it).

Fei Long's Cardiovascular Training


1. Roadwork- Jog (1 Minute)-- Sprint! (Keep it up!)-- Walk (1 Minute)--- As many sets as you can!

2. Fighter Complex

1. Shadowboxing- 3 Minutes (1 Minute Complete Rest); loosen up, work on good form
2. Shadowboxing- 2 Minutes (1 Minute Complete Rest); work harder (speed and more speed)
3. Shadowboxing- 2 Minutes (1 Minute Complete Rest); push yourself (the fastest, but keep good form)
4. Rope Jumping- 5 Minutes; try all footwork
5. Heavy Bagwork- 3 Minutes (1 Minute Rest); all kicks (side, hook, spin, straight, round)
6. Heavy Bagwork- 3 Minutes (1 Minute Rest); all punches (hooks, straights, jabs, backfist)
7. Light bag- 3 Minutes (1 Minute Rest)
8. Shadowboxing- 3 Minutes (1 Minute Rest); loosen up

3. Roadwork- Run 2 Miles


Notes:

• A jog is not quite a full run, it's a relatively easy pace.
• When it says "Keep it up!" I just mean to sprint until you can't and then use the walking period to recover for the next jogging portion. 
• The Light Bag is probably a speed bag or a double-end bag, so use either if you have them. If not, you can just do more Heavy Bag.
• The last run should be done as fast a pace as possible. Try to keep the same pace the entire distance, though. 

That's all for today guys. I hope you enjoy the Bruce Lee-style workouts. Until next time, good luck and train hard!

Street Fighter- Fei Long's Weight Training

Street Fighter has a lot of different martial arts styles in it, but there is one fighter is particular who is definitely based on a real-life person. Fei Long is based on real-life martial artist, author, and action star Bruce Lee. So, I'm going to post a few workouts for Fei Long based on some of the training Bruce Lee is credited with doing during his life. Even though this workout doesn't seem like a lot, you have to remember that Bruce also practiced martial arts each day, regardless of his strength or cardiovascular training. At the end of the Fei Long series, I will also post a couple of bolt-on martial arts workouts to be added to the end of whatever workout you are doing for that day.

Fei Long's Weight Training


Clean and Press- 2 Sets of 8 Reps
Barbell Squat- 2 Sets of 12 Reps
Barbell Pullovers- 2 Sets of 8 Reps
Bench Press- 2 Sets of 6 Reps
Good Mornings- 2 Sets of 8 Reps
Barbell Curls- 2 Sets of 8 Reps

Notes:

• Clean and Press:  
• Barbell Squats: 
• Barbell Pullovers: 
• Bench Press: 
• Good Mornings: 
• Barbell Curls: 
• For rest periods, you should rest no more than 2 minutes between each set of each exercise.

That's all for today, guys! Until next time, good luck and train hard! 

Random Who Would Win #4: Ryu vs. Hanma Baki

In our fourth installment of the "Random Who Would Win" series, we see Ryu from Street Fighter vs. Hanma Baki from (of course) Grappler Baki. While Ryu is immensely strong and capable of using the Hadoken, Baki is skilled beyond measure, wielding the fighting skills of nearly every style on the planet, with a body capable of breaking nearly every sports record in existence.

The beginning of the fight would obviously be very fierce, but Baki would gradually gain the upperhand as he learned how Ryu moved and he would eventually overcome the gi-wearing striker. Even if Ryu used the Dark Hado to increase his power, it would very likely push Baki into awakening his "Hanma blood."  It's generally up for debate on who would win, but this time, the Son of Ogre is champ.

That's all for now. Until next time, good luck and train hard!
