Heres a sample routine for power in martial arts you can mix and combine these.
If you are starting out only do 1 or 2 workouts per week focusing on core strength exercises, sticking to 5 sets of 5 including warm up sets with a low weight:
Core excercises:
Push Presses, Chest Presses, High Pulls, Cleans, Snatches and the variations of these exercises.
3 powerlifting exercises should do to start with: Deadlifts, Squats, Bench Press
Sample routine
MONDAY
Power Clean - 3 sets of 3 reps warm up, then 3 t5 sets of 3 reps with a work weight, about 80% of a 1RM.
Bench Press - (medium theavy day)- (if med)- 3 sets of 5 t6 reps warm up then 3 sets of 5 with a work weight. (if heavy)- work up over six sets of 5 t6 reps tlimit set of 3 t5 reps on the last set. A rule of thumb puts a limit triple at about 90% of one's 1RM.
Squat - (light speed day)- one warm up set of 10 reps. Then 5 sets of 5 reps with nmore than 65% and nmore than 60 seconds rest between sets. Start with 60% . Apply 100% effort on every rep and deach rep as fast as possible.
WEDNESDAY
One Power Clean followed by 3 Military Presses followed by 2 Push Presses for 5 reps total per set - 3 warm up sets, then 3 sets of 5 reps with a work weight.
Deadlift - warm up- 10 reps, 6 reps, 4 reps, then the same work weight for 3 t4 sets of 3 t4 reps. The Romanian DL or Straight Back Clean Style DL's are recommended. (On clean DL's use about 80% of your 1RM your first workout.)(On RDL's weight is not as important as doing the exercise correctly with strict form.)
NOTE: Because squats and deadlifts overlap the working of a lot of the same muscles, squats are not recommended the same day as deadlifts.
FRIDAY
Bent Row - 3 sets of 5 t6 reps warm up, then 3 sets of 5 t6 reps with a work weight.
Squat - (medium theavy day) same formula as BP on Monday.
Bench Press - (light speed day) same formula as Squat on Monday.
