-
For stronger & faster kicks, you need to work on areas such
as your quads &
calves.
-
For more powerful punches & blocks, you need to strengthen areas
such as your
triceps, biceps, forearms, shoulders and back.
-
More for more explosive punches or kicks (i.e. spinning hook
kicks), you need to work on torque or twisting power (so can
have a more powerful "wind-up"). You will
need to exercise areas such as your stomach, lateral obliques
(your side muscles) and your lower back. Here are a number of
"core exercises".
