Corporal Hicks
Black Belt
Recently I've been coming to the terms that my training has nothing do to with sparring or traditional MA, even though I do incorporate some of these aspects into my own training. Recently my training has been towards the focus of that suiting a Police Officer or Doorman therefore as you guessed I have no need to train as though I'm scoring points and can utlize every weapon in my arsonal (not saying that they dont!!!), however one idea is that you may need to look the part.
Giving an example being that you would expect a doorman or bouncer whatever you like to call them, to give out the appearance of being 'hard' or 'capable'.
Since Im aiming towards being a police officer I'm not sure what kind of appearence that I should be given out, I'm thinking that I should gain some strength for dealing with those pesky criminals when it turns to arrests, whilst at the same time building some serious muscle!
Would you guys recommend muscle building? That is right isnt it? To build raw strength is to build raw muscle and that can be done by supersets and high intensity training, is that correct?
While I'm on the point, will building raw muscle effect my technique or speed, the common myth being more body mass you have the slower you are, I mean I'm not the thickest set of people and I dont think that no matter how much mass I build its not going to have an Arnold effect or really effect my speed, instead I'm going for the Bruce Lee look, but kind of thicker!
Is this the right attitude to have for a police officer? Should I be trying to look the part? Im a medium build anyway and am quite toned but I think maybe showing a little more 'mass' will add to the look? What do you guys think?
What kind of weight training should I be undertaking? for the idea of a police officer? If there are officers on here I would like to hear from you!
Kind Regards
