Are martial arts considered to be anaerobic or aerobic exercise?Does it differ when I use a bag?

I need to know in order to determine whether I can lift weights one day and perform martial arts the next day, since rest is crucial to muscle building. I simply perform quick repetitive punches or kicks.

Anaerobic is the metabolic process in which your body produces cellular energy in the absence of oxygen.

It's a breathing thing, not a bag thing.

Simply rate it on your heartbeat. An elevated beat per minute, for more than 2 minutes is aerobic . If it hits a high level of beats per minute in less than a minute, you're going into anaerobic, because your body is simply running out of oxygen. Depending on how good your cardio is, using a large number of muscles for a lot of work, tends to use up oxygen very fast. At the point where you feel muscle depletion strain is usually when the anaerobic process starts (you can't do as many reps of the same weight as you could before). This is often noted later on as soreness later on. Muscles require a certain thing in order to be used. Energy. Normally it process it from oxygen and glycogen (from carbs). When it runs out, that's when it uses other sources. And that's when the poison and fatigue builds up.

What might concern your situation more is whether what you are doing is breaking down the muscles used or not. If you perform repetitive punches and kicks, and the muscles you use aren't sore or decreased in performance several hours later, then you can weight train them using sets to break those muscles down.

Normally, simply kicking and punching would be aerobic. Some hours worth of rest would replenish those muscles. Unlike body building, which takes 2-3 days for muscle groups to recover. Now if you kick something 100 or 1000 times without taking long rests, then it's a different matter.

Here's a chart if you want to use the heart rate method.
