Strength training, is not an essential asset to Martial Arts. I lift weights daily to gain mass and strength, but you'll often find that repetition of M.A move's will suffice enough. If you are thinking of appling it though, remember that:
To gain strength, go higher reps but lower weights.
To gain mass, go lower reps but higher weights.
Simple as that. And I might also add, that Kettlebelt training, is a great way to increase strength.
Also, try this. Every lesson you give, spend 10 minutes meditation before, and after the lesson. Meditation, or the art of Zen, can be a huge key to unlocking the unlimited potential that the body and mind share. Zen monks, are capable of performing virtually super human feats, through many years of it. It's because once your mind and body become one, there is nothing to stop you from becoming stronger and stronger.
