There’s no question how important cardio is for martial arts. It increases the efficacy and capacity of your heart and lungs, which allows you to perform more consistently for longer periods of time.

Martial arts training usually involves intensive aerobic (with oxygen, using stored fats for energy) and anaerobic (without oxygen, using muscle glycogen as fuel) exercises. Which is why every martial artist should incorporate cardio workouts that go beyond the usual jogging or running routines.

Running uphill adds the much-needed anaerobic element to the usual aerobic exercises like jogging or running. It generates powerful contractions in your leg muscles as they work against the force of gravity, building both your strength and stamina.

You can start off with 10-second sprints every few minutes and slowly build it up to 30-second sprints. For optimal results, make sure you’re working yourself at maximum effort with minimal recovery time between each sprint. Famous martial artists and fighters like Roger Gracie, BJ Penn, and Georges St. Pierre have all been known to use sprints for strength and conditioning.
