    When I'm working out at home (I don't have any portable music player for the gym or whatever) and have the luxury of music, I play a lot of hip hop and classical. It isn't uncommon to workout to opera.

    When I train outside, which I do as much as possible, I do not listen to any music. When training inside and grappling, the Vegas CD by Crystal Method. Although, there are many I days I don't listen to anything. When boxing, I listen to some cuban music a friend gave me.
    I train

    If you had a personal theme song that would play ambiently around you at socially critical moments, what would it be?
    Easy, "Gimme Shelter" by the Stones. That song never gets old.

    Music while practicing serious Martial Arts is a bad idea imho.
    If you just do sports or aerobic you might be fine but serious martial arts require 100-200% of your attention. Keep the ambient as natural and peaceful as possible.

    wong fei hung's theme song
    traditional chinese music would be good for me,it isn't really distracting
    compared to some slow jams or rap

    Depends on the pace. Lately, Buju Banton, occasional bouts of Punk Rock (operation ivy gets the blood moving), something more like Enya for soft qigong.

    But all in all, fast paced, heavily rhythmic regae seems to go well with weapons training.

    Taiji: the Hero soundtrack
    Gung fu: nothing, hip hop, or harder than most rock, depending on what I'm doing.
