Part of being a martial artist is to keep yourself fit.
I like lifting weights as a part of my fitness routine.
Just to share some training routines, I like to incorporate kettle bells as well. The difference between using a barbell or weight machine and a kettle bell is huge.
Lifting weights focuses on an isolated muscle group as kettle bells incorporate the same idea of weight lifting with a combination of body muscles and core. Moving the body with weights in hand increase strength core and stability. This comes into play when the body is in motion as a martial artist sparring grappling, etc.
You can have some fun with your forms as well and wear ankle and wrist weights or a body vest(it hangs on "Bob" in the Kwoon most days).
