Hello once again everybody, Mr Kurz I just wanted to clarify something. I do WTF Taekwondo. I am combat sport practitioner who must try and stay within a certain distance of my weight catagory: -58kg fly weight. The last thing I want as a part of my strength training is to encourage large amount of ...

As a part of my weekly microcycle I am focusing on building the muscular endurance in my legs and core muscles in certain workouts on the days I focus on neuromuscular strength. An example of this is an exercise for the hip abductor muscles where the leg is raised against light or no resistance. As ...

Being 6'1 and 200lbs/91kg if its WTF Taekwondo that you are competing in then that will put you in the +84 Heavy weight catagory. Being 6'1 you are not small for the heavy weight catagory at your belt division so I think you could handle it. I think you should just aim at losing the exess fat and wo...

Thanks Danbor, your comments are greatly appreciated and noted.

Any more thoughts people?

Thanks for the reply Dragon.

I must say Im in total agreement with you. I believe that running outside in natural (sometimes harsh!) conditions will toughen me up.

I just want to make sure it doesnt have any detrimental effects on my training as a whole.

Any more thoughts people?

Hi, As a part of my general and overall training regime for WTF Taekwondo I incorporate running at differing heart rates to improve on my aerobic system and to help with weight management. I only do two runs a week at varying distances depending at what stage I am in, in both a meso and macrocycle. ...

Hi Mr Kurz.

Thanks for clarifying that point for me. I can get started straight away.

Thanks also to Dragon.

Hi Dragon, Thanks for the reply. I have read a lot of your reply's in the past and found them to be very useful. I will look out for Pavel's books. I do alot of sports specific Taekwondo kicking exercises and drills for both strength and strength endurance throughout my weekly workout. I am a great ...

Hi, I am starting a new strength training programme and needed some advice in regard to frequency of sessions. I do Taekwondo and I am aiming at improving the maximal strength in my legs. However I want to do this without increasing too much body mass so I can still stay within my weight catagory fo...

Hi, sorry to but in Mr Kurz but I am just curious on this subject! How does the mechanism behind vibration and stretching work? Does it relax the contracted muscle in order to stretch? And what devices and methods can be used to try this? Would a tens machine work? Thanks Mr Kurz, hope to hear from ...

Oh and just to add on an obvious point, I have been using my left leg more to try and build on this problem!

Hi, Im just starting out using the Kurz stretching method. Because of errors in my past training programmes I have predominantly used my right leg more than my left. Because of this I have a number of strength and endurance imbalances in all of my leg muscles. The main problem I have is that the ecc...

Hi Mark, In regards to your question I had the same problem with side kick when I was going for my 2nd Dan in Taekwondo. The body always naturally tends to go for the easiest and least painful form of movemnet and before you realise it you are doing the technique wrong! I to always used to use more ...

Since I have began using Mr Kurz training methodology both my flexibility and strength levels have increased and I am very happy with the results. However with me now using an efficient and proven method for strength and flexibility I wanted to know if anyone has any advice on fitness training for W...
