The Choi-Bo System - Component 7 - Target Training

Target Training in Choi-Bo should not be compared to hitting targets aggressively or carelessly in other workouts/martial arts.  At Choi-Bo we believe in quality.  Therefore, in Target Training in Choi-Bo we look to further develop and refine The Choi-Bo Technique.  So, we block, kick, punch and strike targets such as focus pads and air shields, but always with the purpose of using and developing The Choi-Bo Technique.  In Choi-Bo we perform both aerobic and anaerobic target training drills for overall health, FUN and enjoyment.  But the purpose of Target Training in Choi-Bo is to gradually and progressively strengthen tendons, ligaments and joints, but primarily, bone density.

To date, scientific research is confirming the most effective method of exercising to promote bone density is 'high impact' training.  However, in research studies done on high impact training, it is found to be site specific.  Children who jumped off of boxes for 30 minutes, 3 times a week for 12 weeks increased bone mass in their legs and hips mostly, but not in their arms or shoulders.  This is why in Choi-Bo we use target training, to develop the whole body.

Target training in Choi-Bo develops cardiovascular conditioning, but also uniquely, inner-confidence.  Choi-Bo participants do, in reality learn self-defence skills here because The Choi-Bo Technique can effectively be learnt and applied in a self-defence situation.  Even someone very small or petite can learn to hit targets with power using The Choi-Bo Technique, due to Sequential Motion
