How to Select Suitable Martial Art Based on Muscle Kinds


According to dr. Sadoso, an Indonesian Sport Healthiness Expert, human's muscle consist of two kinds. Oxidal Muscle and Non Oxidal Muscle. These two kinds have very different character.

Oxidal Muscle is muscle which need plenty of oxygen to release energy. It releases energy only in second or seconds, even less than them. But it releases largely powerful energy. Example of activity which needs this kind of muscle is like when you try to destroy large stone with a sledge hammer.

Non Oxidal Muscle is muscle which need very little of oxygen to release energy. But this muscle can endure for a long time, about a half an hour or longer than it. The released energy is very little and economical. Example of activity which needs this kind of muscle is when you are jogging.

If you have a lot of oxidal muscle, it is suggested to select far-fight martial art. If you have a lot of non oxidal muscle in your body, it is suggested to select close-fight martial art (to define close-fight martial art and far-fight martial art, please read my previous article: Two Categories of Martial Art).

To know which muscle kind you have majorly in your body, please try these two activities. Which one is easier for you to do, 100 metres dash or a half an hour jogging? If 100 metres dash is easier, it means you have a lot of oxidal muscle in your body. If a half an hour jogging is easier, you have a lot of non oxidal muscle.
