What workouts should i do to build muscles without ruining the flexibility that i gained through martial arts?

More reps: Doing more reps with lighter weigh will build lean body mass and strength. Thinks of body weight pylometrics for heavier weighted exercise.

Slow technique: Slow technique practice with punches and kicks can improve technique, build muscle, maintain/improve flexibility and improve balance (especially with kicks). Don't compromise the power, just control the speed. Do it as an interval between normal speed/power training.
