comment What is the most effective way to stabilize a WaveMaster 2XL?
Ours were water filled, no issue for me moving them. Sand I've found to be better in my own experience.

comment What is the most effective way to stabilize a WaveMaster 2XL?
I'm with Dave, I have yet to find a way to stabilize them against a strong force, the things are going to move around the floor. I used to see how far I could move it during exercises.

comment How do I increase my wrist strength for punching?
Without seeing a video how do we know it is bad form or bad wrist strength? My experience tends to say form is usually the fault the majority of the time. YMMV. I would disagree that form always breaks down once you hit anything but air. Again, just my experience.

Pikup a copy of John Brookfield's book "Mastery of Hand Strength". Lots of good information.

comment Is weight training useful in martial arts?
Weight training can focus on strength or size, or both. Heck even endurance. All depends on the weight used and the scheme (reps and sets).

I'll vouch for this. My girlfriend, who does Krav, told me her wrist hurts whenever she tosses a hook punch. First punch I could see her from for the punch was off. Couple of quick tips and no more pain when tossing a hook.

comment How can I practice shooting for a combat situation?
I don't see circuit training being of much use when trying to do combat simulations, unless your work/conditions require that you be able to operate from a fatigued state.

being "great" is a very subjective term and lots of it depends on the programming being done at the affiliate level.

comment How can I practice shooting for a combat situation?
Elevate heart rate is only "somewhat" like a combat simulation. No adrenaline dump, no tunnel vision, no hearing lose, no one attacking you, etc. I know about the "crossshot" stuff out there, personally I find it more humorous then useful. YMMV
