Bill
Reynolds Martial Arts Workout
|
| "All phases of the Martial Arts have been become very popular recently as a result of massive
magazine, movie and television exposure. Judo enthusiasts have long been interested in weight training
as an adjunct to their specific judo training. Recently however, participants in all Martial Arts have been
turning to progressive resistance exercise to strengthen subpar muscles and improve performance.
Here is a whole-body type of weight training program suitable for Martial Arts participants." – Bill
