Description
In 'Forza The Samurai Sword Workout', top New York trainer Ilaria Montagnani transforms ancient Japanese sword fighting techniques from kendo and aikijujitsu into a supercharged fitness program. Martial artists tired of the same old workout moves can grab a sword (or a wooden sword, stick or broomstick) and slice, chop, and thrust their way into great shape. Specially designed to work the whole body, Montagnani's program teaches precise striking movements that shape the upper body while building strength. If you do the footwork/stances properly along with the arm movements you really can work your whole body. Forza The Samurai Sword Workout is also a fantastic cardiovascular workout as various movements are strung together into movie-like, choreographed fighting sequences performed at high speed. The step-step photos are clear and easy to follow. The book includes a resource section explaining how and where to purchase various workout swords, including steel, wood, and weighted plastic. If you really want a serious workout, you should consider picking up a heavy ironwood bokken. It'll make you sweat fast. If you want something even heavier, you should probably consider an ironwood suburito (suburi bokken) which is thicker and heaver than a traditional bokken but has the same general shape. 1.
