Answer 4

As much as I get sick of hearing about kettle bells, the dragondoor stuff is pretty good. Also look at Green Dragon's strengthening sets, stone warrior, iron vest, etc. The old time strong men were unbelievable. Internal Taoist training like Tai Chi/Pa Kua/Hsing Yi/Cki Kung will give power like you never dreamed of if you have the patience to do it.

Answer 5

Here is a summary of what I think is most important, other than endurance training. Note that most combat sports like boxing and Muay Thai use very little weights and rely on using body weight instead:

I would suggest that leg strength is one of the most important aspects of physical combat, due to the fact that power and speed from strikes come from the ground, generated by thrusting or pivoting the legs. Doing several squats with your own body weight should be sufficient, but if you want more you can add running, jumping rope, and kicking practice.

After that I would recommend core strength exercises (involving the abdominal and lower back muscles) because of the stability it provides for your entire body. These muscles actually offer protection to your vital organs; important when considering the mid-section as the largest target of the body. You will need to do a variety of exercises like V-ups, chinnies, and leg lifts.

I don't believe that weight lifting should be completely ignored; however, you must realize that some exercises can help you greatly with your performance, while others can impede or impair your techniques. For example, Bruce Lee would sometimes use barbells to improve his punching. Speed and power go hand in hand which are things clearly evident in any boxer's training regiment and physique.
