What kind of music do you listen for motivating...

Taiko Drummers and the theme for chinese hero Wong Fei Hung
I also like Wu-tang, Afro Samurai Sountrack and the Soundtrack of Samurai Champloo

When i am pumping myself up i listen to something with a good beat like bassline album. When i am ready to fight and win i listen to songs such as
Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway
Kelly Clarkson - A Moment Like This
I also find children of the night a really inspiring song as it reminds me of what i am doing and makes me feel proud again.

Osu!

I just load the old iPod, and set the Shuffle option. What plays gets heard. It's a good way to add oomph, or dial it back a notch.

Sometimes I have to hit the Skip button. Okay, often...

Osu!

I have a large library on itunes on my desktop PC which happens to be next to my punching bag and weights. Depending on my mood different things help me get motivated... Theres Hard house, Metal, Blues and Roots, Alternative etc... the other day one came on that really helped me focus: Andrea Bocelli & Sarah Brightman - Time To Say Goodbye

[MilkManX]

No Easy Way Out by Robert Tepper.

Mostly Rock/Metal stuff.

I like Dragonforce alot latley.

[ViKing]

While travelling on the train to training I like to listen to KMFDM - Ultra, Alice in Chains - Them Bones, Korn - Blind, music from the Street Fighter 2 Animated Movie soundtrack

[IkkenHissatsu]

It depends on what mood Im in and what training Im doing, obviously if meditating either no music or some calming music, or if [i]m doing yoga Ill listen to electronica(soft) or meditation music. But for working physically, its either metal, techno, or Heavy/death metal. Alot of Amon Amarth, Dir En Grey, Rammstein, Megaherz etc etc. or soem times I dont listen to any thing.

[naturezza]

Rock&Metal stuff, are my favorites (Metallica, Atreyu)
Hip Hop (DMX, M.O.P.)

[Kiryu]

mostly Hardcore Hip Hop ( french and US) and Manga anime, movies and video games soundtracks

[mink]

traditional japanese folkmusic, the soundtrack to Conan The Barbarian, The Smiths and Stone Roses... and lots of Wagner!

when I do stretching chinese folkmusic is very harmonious....

[mcuz]

I have a training area setup in my garage, if I'm doing weights or simply out doing rounds on a bag by myself or a partner then yes I will have music on in the background to get and keep motivation levels up there.

I guess we all have our different tastes but if its bagwork then I need something a bit upbeat, if its weights then something aggressive to get the beast out of the closet.

If I'm doing traditional training at home - kata etc then I will not have any music on at all.

thanks

[Bloke]

At the moment its Oakenfold Anthems

[Hughes_Kyokushin_Oldham]

I love songs from Highlight Videos, When ever I hear the songs, I think of the people who are in the videos, which are usually people I want to be like
Try and find music that reminds you of something

Hope this helps anyone

[mrozek]

The ultimate karate training song is of course:

So all of you - better change your music preferences or be damned!

You're the best aaaaround...

[Dent]

Osu!

Thanks Dent, for reminding me of yet another thing I could do 20 years ago that I'd look a right plum trying to do now Never did it in a gas mask though (were still talking about dancing right? )
