Does squatting against the wall in a 90 degree angle help in tightenin the thighs?Does it help for martial art

Answer 1

It is a good exercise for your back and does strengthen the hamstring muscles in your thighs. I have no clue about martial arts because I do those exercises to cure a back pain.

The most useful part is the going up and down using the wall for support and holding that position, not any pressure against the wall.

Answer 2

No, squatting does not help, but pretending you are sitting on an invisible chair will. Stand an arm's length away from the wall and face your back to the wall. Slide down slowly until your knees form a 90 degree angle...stay there and don't move for...(up to you)
Yes, this does help for the basic stance and forward stances in martial art when you need to hold your stances and some of the more complicated ones require the basic stances.
Good luck! :)

Question Is sparring necessary for a martial art to be good for self-defense? Using the keyword necessary, I would say NO. 1. Sparring is used to help refine techniques and principles taught by the art, just like kata. 2. Sparring rarely involves the choas, variety and unpredictability that can be found in real life encounters 3. Non-Martial Artists are capable of defending themselves without even studying an art, much less sparring 4. Also there is such a wide range of training simulations that are called sparring, what is sparring in one dojo is not allowed in another, it is hard to draw the line on what is considered "practical sparring" look at WTF vs ITF Taekwondo 5. Sparring can help you, but it can also let you slip into a comfort zone. As in you become to comfortable fighting and expecting to be fought in a preconcieved manner. A good example of this, now hold on Im not trying to ruffle feathers here, the first few UFCs. Many of these Martial Artists had trained and fought in a certain manner, they were caught off guard by being rushed and wrestled to the ground. They had gotten too comfortable. Expierance can also do the same thing though. A bully who is getting into 1on1 schoolyard scraps, may become comfartable with that scenario and expect things to just work that way. Then he is in for a suprise when his target has four friends coming out of the woodwork. I however do think sparring and kata are both great training tools.

Answer 4

It will help tighten your thighs but your better off doing exercises the more closely resemble one of your martial arts kicks. I used to tie bungees to my ankles while I kicked the heavy bag. This will increase your speed and power greatly.

Answer 5

I know in Kung Fu we were made to hold Horse Stand with a Broom handle placed on your hammies so at least a few minutes at a time
