Best workout for martial arts

I have been training martial arts for about 18 years and had a variety of different training methods. Whats the best one for you away from the pads/bag?
I have found that timed circuit of say 20 rounds each 40-50 seconds with a 10 second break betweens rounds works best with a rotation of 3 exercises until the 20 rounds are up. I do deadlifts, kettlebell swings and squat with press. each of the aformentioned weighted exercises I do a round of quick steps on a box. The key is having the weights at 60-70% max so the intensity is high. SInce doing this once a week with other normal training I have noticed massive improvements in power/stamina particularly in sparring.
so for example the workout would be:
steps 40sec
rest 10sec
deadlift 40sec
steps 40sec
rest 10sec
kettlebell 40sec
rest 10sec
squat and press 40sec
rest 10sec
steps 40 sec
then repeat until the timer finishes

Oh yeah - we do HIITs all the time in class and during kickboxing. Sensei say's it's the best way to build endurance and speed for sparring. I'm not sure it's helped my sparring but I think I'm better at it then I was a year ago.0

I vary my training year round. Here's the basic breakdown. I do each routine for about 3 months before moving onto the next, and take various breaks from training when I feel I need to.
1. Lift weights/Weighted calisthenics: M-F on my lunch break. Lifting as heavy as I can doing basic compound movements - 40 Min
Train MA: Th-M - 2 Hours
2. Weighted Calisthenics: M-F on my lunch break. There are some intermittent swim workouts as well - 40 Min
Train MA: Su/M/Th/F - 2 Hours
3. Swim: M-F on my lunch break - 40 Min
Train MA + Calisthenics + Medicine Ball + Bulgarian Sandbag Training: Su/M/Th/F - 2 Hours
4. Lift Weights/Swim: M-F on my lunch break. 20 Min each
Train MA + Calisthenics: Su/M/F - 2 Hours
There is a lot of intermittent core work, stretching, foam rolling and yoga as well.0 -
1.) Put on an "I Love Cops" T-shirt
2.) Go to local biker bar
3.) Kick over Harley
That usually kicks off a great training session.0 -
