I have been adding Plyometric training to my training lately and have been having great results.
Plyometric training for the martial arts can help you increase your explosive power, your speed. It is important to remember that Plyometric training should be accompanied with strength training.
Remember to always warm up before your Plyo training session, this will help to avoid injury from the training. I usually do about 10-15 minuets of running to warm the body then begin the training. A good warm up will also increase the benefits of the training. It does this by increasing the sensitivity of the muscle spindle, which contains the fibres (called intrafusal fibres) that register the amount of stretch within a muscle.
I usually use an exercise that will build poser in one of the basic movements that you will find in the martial arts. an example would be the Jab and the Cross motion. most of the time you see the chest pass to develop this line in the upper body, but the chest pass is not a basic mechanic used in the martial arts.
you can get into the jab position with proper mechanics and have some one pass you a medicine ball. catch the ball in your Jabbing hand and let the weight of the ball contract the arm. at the bottom of the movement sharply reverse the motion and throw the ball back. the concept is the same as the chest pass exercise only i do it with the jab, cross body position and mechanics.
I usually do the exercises 3 times per week. remember to rest between sets for 3 to 5 mins. The goal is not fatigue but to complete each repetition with the maximum amount of speed and intensity. Also plyometric exercises won't leave you out of breath and that is normal so remember not to try to add more weight or reps to soon in your training.
As always thank you for your support!
Train Hard and Finish Strong!
This week in our Gracie Jiu-Jitsu class we are training on how to pass the guard. When only groom a lot of people will use their legs to contain you or keep you controlled. This is one learning to get around the legs, in order to get to a position of dominance and control your own you have to have the ability to pass the legs so that you can get to the side control position and then work your way into the mount position. Learning the past and when traffic this position is what we are working on this week. There are many ways to do this but you want to choose a method that is based on leverage and control of your opponent. This is what Gracie Jiu-Jitsu does best, all of the techniques in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu were design to be based on body mechanics and leverage in order to allow a smaller opponent to survive and win against a larger opponent.
This also extremely important to choose a school where you can accomplish your training in a nonthreatening and safe environment. It is not uncommon in the martial arts to see the people who actually need to learn something to defend themselves be scared off from a class because of a person's bad attitude in class. This is something that the Atlanta martial art does best.
