GUIDELINES FOR HOME TRAINING

1. You must do a brief warm up exercises as shown in Series A, Tape #1.

2. Train within your level of fitness. The harder you hit the focus mitts/shields, the harder the workout.

3. Never, Never, Never lock out your elbows or knees. If you do, you will be hurting for weeks or months. If your partner is moving away from you too fast, do not attempt to reach for the target, that's when you will end up locking your elbows or knees. You will learn to adjust your distance for the proper range of delivery maximum power. Every individual is build differently and will not punch or kick alike, the same goes for holding the focus mitts and shields. You will learn to adjust to how they move or hold the equipment. There will not be a PERFECT target for you to hit on the streets! Our drill teaches you to adapt and you have to learn this automatically and quickly!
4. Take frequent water breaks. Remember, KSD's workouts are very intenseand rigorous!

5. For punching, gradually increase your power, the WEAKEST link for everyone is the WRIST. Follow the guideline in Series A, Tape #1 very carefully as to how to condition your wrist for maximum power.

6. For days and weeks, you body will be sore all over. Work through the soreness by reducing the intensity of your workout until your body adjust to the workout.

7. When you train with the STAMINA tapes, even when you have adjusted to KSD workouts, your muscles will aches all over again as this stamina workout takes you to extreme intensity.
