I am a college student with a tight schedule. Mondays-Wednesdays-Friday I can workout in the evenings and have workouts in mornings for Tuesday and Thursday. I also take bad Tae Kwon Do classes, in which I forced to take until I get a black belt.
Now to get to the point of this, I plan to workout my strength training on MOnday and do endurance in Tuesday in the morning and then TKD in the evening. Wednesday with rest. Thursday, I will have technical/speed/etc. training in the morning and TKD in the evening. ANd Friday with strength.
I am forced to take these TKD as said above and can't get out of this stupid class until i am a freakin black belt. Tuesdays and Thursday are my days that i have to without altering my schedule to have class(Tuesday where i learn forms, Thursday where i sparr). With the schedule i have planned, will I overtrain or lose any benefits I have of my training? If so, could u give me some hints on how i would rearrange them for efficient results.
Thanks!
How should I arrange my schedule?
Re: How should I arrange my schedule?
Why? What happens when you get your 'freaking black belt'? Will you then be able to take 'good' TKD classes? Or are you just going to quit, hang your belt on your wall, and brag to your friends that now you're an expert? I've got news for you, my friend. Getting your 1st Dan is merely the beginning of learning what martial arts are REALLY about.ucrhai007 wrote:I also take bad Tae Kwon Do classes, in which I forced to take until I get a black belt.

You keep using the word 'forced'. Who is forcing you to take this class? Why don't you stand up to them? That would say a lot more of your character and true spirit than a garment.
You don't seem to have any respect for the particular martial art that you are studying. I don't know if that's because the class is of poor quality or you just don't have the right mindset. In either case, I think you should probably drop the TKD. Life is too short to suffer through things that you have clear contempt for. Find another persuit (perhaps a different TKD class) that you enjoy more.
Think I'm being harsh? Martial arts is serious stuff. I sure as hell don't want to be in a class with a surly and ungrateful student who doesn't want to be there. They don't have the right mindset and can get reckless. This leads to injuries -- possibly serious ones -- both in themselves and to others in the class.

Well, Mark:
If I was asking advice on how to improve my martial arts, this would be an excellent advice. I guess I didn't explain myself well enough or you are simple minded, but what i mean when i am forced to stay there until i am a black belt is that i stupidly, foolishly, etc paid my course until i am a black belt. How do we really know if a place is a good TKD school or not? Most places are about the money. ONly a few are fortunate to find a good place. Once I get my blackbelt, I boy would brag of how worthless it is. For your information, if i need to explain myself, I don't believe in the belt system. I don't believe a belt shows expertise or anything. This doesn't mean that i think any black belt is bad, its just that nowadays the skills of each black belt is diverse and that doesn't make sense. If u don't agree with what i am saying, then u should start studying more martial arts concepts.
As for my previous reply, anyone who understands "Science of Sports Training" completely, can u tell me if my training would would lead to bad results or ruin good results!
If u come to criticize, just criticize the topic i am asking!

I agree with u urchai. I am a taekwondo student and I'm going to graduate to black belt too and though I am not forced to go to a taekwondo class, the teacher of this class will fail me to graduate to black belt if I don't attend to his classes (He has done this to other students) , because he is the taekwondo leader for my region he can do that. He is a very good instructor though, but the his classes are difficult to fit into my training program.
However, back to your question. You should do technical training before aerobic training, which can be done after your technical training, or on a day of it's own. Strength training should be done after technical training, because strength training before it will make it difficult for u to do the techniques well and accurate. You can also do aerob training after strength training, but remember that you will lose the effectiveness of your strength training then. Make sure you get a days rest after your strength training Thomas Kurz has written some very good articles concering conditioning and planning training for martial artists on www.stadion.com.
I hope my answers helped, but I am no expert, I am at the moment reading Science of Sports Training.
Good luck
