VRT and dynamic moves.

[Focus]

Hi, all,

During the summer holidays, my only workout was VRT and shadow boxing, during 3 months.

In september, when I came back to my MA training, my partner told me I had explosive punches, and that I had not lost my energy during the summer break.

I wondered if this was due to VRT. If VRT was a good workout to develop explosive, dynamic moves.

Absolutely. VRT is a form of physiological exercise which means that it uses the principles of "inner concentration" and "moving meditation" to actually penetrate and combine the powers of both your conscious and subconscious minds. It uses universal law. Greg Mangan discovered this power on his own as some yogi did 5,000 years ago and select other motivated and introspective individuals have throughout history. It applies the full resistance of your mind to build dynamic strength thoughout the entire range of motion. It taps into the center of your mind which is the source of all power. While an ancient princple for building NERVE FORCE it has also been verified by modern science:

"Experimental and clinical psychology have proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that
the human nervous system cannot tell the difference between an 'actual' experience
and an experience imagined vividly and in detail."

Focus I am not surprised one bit at the results, you have been using an advanced body building method, VRT and shadow boxing making your skills even better. By combining VRT and Shadow boxing you have been using a system very close to the ancient Monks at the Shaolin Temple in China. Muscle tension exercises are the secret of the Ages, greg rediscovered it like the Monks in India, the Shaolin boxers and Master all through time. Congradulations.

Thanks for your enlightenments.

Sounds like you're doing well with your training.

If you want to experiment a bit, try to actually combine the VRT's with your shadow boxing. I mean use VRT/DVR tension when throwing your punches.

Obviously, you’ll have to do one of two things at first.

A) Use VERY light tension, in order to punch at a descent speed.
B) Punch slower, if you want to use moderate to higher tension.

Anyway, just an idea, if you’d like to give it a try.

Hey Guys,

I find this to be the briefest and most intense full-body workout, one that I can fit into in the shortest amount of time early in the mornings when I'm in a rush for work, but would feel guilty if I didn't get SOME form of exercise in at all. Most mornings I'm in a hectic rush anyway, I hate to say it; I drive my kids to school at 7:15 then head the other way for a half-hour drive to my job.

I conceive of every move I can make, in all directions, for all 4 limbs, my torso, and my neck, all under tension, all visualized as though moving about in thick, wet concrete; great tension is invoked. Hundreds of back and forth and up and down motions creates a high-level oxygen debt, which when finished takes a minute or so to recover. I fly out the door thoroughly pumped. I relax in the driver's seat for the long drive.

The reference to shadow boxing is interesting because it provides an example of the effectiveness of this science no matter what activity it is applied too. There is a great quote from "Psychocybernetics" that emphasizes the point: "Gentleman Jim Corbett made the word "shadow-boxing" popular. When asked how he developed the perfect control and timing for his left jab which he used to cut John L. Sullivan, the Boston Strong-boy, to ribbons , Corbett replied that he had practiced throwing his left in the mirror more than 10,000 times in preparation for the bout. Gene Tunney did the same thing. Years before he actually fought Jack Dempsey in the ring, he had fought an imaginery Dempsey more than 100 times in the privacy of his own room.."

This is exactly what my former karate teacher used to do : we made karate punches in slow motion with high tension.

In the MA I now do - yoseikan budo - I use this method for kicks and punches.
