Abstract

This study aims to determine the improvement of back kick ability through the Circuit Training method in fighting athletes of Kurata second degree Tarung Derajat in Siginjai Museum training unit. The method used in this study is the Sports Action Research method which was conducted on 14 athletes, with the sampling technique based on CAR (classroom action research) in sports.The implementation of this research was carried out for 2 months with a frequency of training 3 times a week or 36 meetings.
