Kung Fu, Kick boxing, Karate...

Curious to know how people who are also into the Martial Arts work their wusu training in with their weight training. I like to consider it cardio, but as I'm sure you know, it can be much tougher.

I train Muay Thai, but what is wusu training?

I think muay thai training is significantly more taxing than cardio. It is also more anaerobic than aerobic, which is beneficial to maintaining muscle mass (thinking sprint training vs. long-distance running).

I don't train any more but I used to , I'd consider it anarobic , unless it is all Kickboxing and so on .
I trained in close circle ju jit su and tung su doe , they are both more real world fighting that that Van Damn movie shit

i've been training in martial arts for the last 11 years. its a great workout but a much different workout from lifting weights. cannot compare the 2....2 totally different workouts targeting different areas

I trained in Martial arts for about 6 years, not very active anymore lifting and work there is really not time. I have a black belt in Judo(favorite) and 2 brown belts in Ju Jit su and Karate. I loved Martial arts while lifting becuase you can always keep very loose, at times when i just lift you get to that point where you can't move as well. And i love it as a more exciting way of doing cardio also.

I've been training multiple styles for the last 15 years, but only the last 8 seriously.

I used Martial Arts as a cardio workout, and I make sure that if after my martial arts workout, I didn't burn enouph calories, I'll just start kicking and punching until I'm spent. But I also do makiwara and power drills 1 or 2 days a week in which I don't lift the same muscles or do cardio.

Martial Arts can be a kick ass cardio work out depending on the drills you're using.

Bro muay thai is a workout an a half in itself, Lately ive been supplementing extreme fighting into my weightlifting for a cardio. 30 min of trying to get your opponent in a submission lock will leave you tired as all hell
