For most mixed martial artists, it’s important to develop strong legs to not only keep you stable but to deliver some powerful strikes to either knock your opponent down or to straight up knock him out. The kick is one of the most important weapons in the ring. It is the extent of your reach from any one spot and depending on how strong your legs are, you may be able to break through your opponent’s defenses, or at least impair them.

“There are many leg muscles that aid in kicking. The exercises below should strengthen them significantly for your next tournament.”

First exercise is called leg circle and is used in Pilates to strengthen and stretch the muscles in the hips and thighs. Lie on your back and lift your leg up till it is perpendicular with your body. Keep your hands at your sides and anchor yourself to the floor. This should also work your deep abdominal muscles. Then circle the leg in the hip socket 6 to 8 times in each direction.

Second exercise is a standing one. This one will work many of your leg muscles as well as hip muscles. Slowly raise your outside leg at the side as high as possible, without bending it, and hold for a second. Then lower it down slowly. Repeat about 10 times and then switch legs. Make sure that your hip, knee, shoulder and foot stay in line.

Next you’ll repeat the exercise but add in a slow kick. You’ll lift up your leg the same way but this time bend your knee and bring your heel all the way to your butt. Then slowly extend your leg, maintaining your balance, into a round house kick as high as you can. If you can’t do it very high, don’t worry. Your legs will strengthen in time and it will be easier to control your kicks. Now do it forward instead of at the side.

For this one raise your knee as high as possible and hold it. Attempt to hold for 30 seconds. Then extend slowly for a front snap kick and bring back to knee position slowly and slowly place back on the ground.

The third exercise is lunges. Lunges are great for stretching leg muscles. Just take a step forward and kneel with the back leg, ball of the foot on the ground and maintaining a straight, rigid back. Good posture will help in keeping yourself balanced while doing lunges.
The fourth is an exercise called wall squats. With wall squats you can either use a wall or a stability ball against the wall. Slowly dip yourself down into a squat and hold for as long as you can (up to 60 seconds) and then rise back up.

Lastly, I recommend practicing every kick at full speed 50 times. That’s 25 times each leg. Not only is this a great cardio workout, but it will prepare your legs for any competition of endurance. Once you can do 50 easily, increase the amount. This will add to your endurance in the ring.

These exercises are all very good for creating knockout legs (Take that however you want).

Over at sherdog.com there is a very good article written by writer Al Kavadlo about MMA training and the “Pull Up”.  We often take the natural body weight exercises for granted and don’t give them enough credit.  We look for the latest and greatest workout, lift, or routine and assume the basics only worked yesterday.  However, there is not a movement more time tested than the classic pull up for getting a large number of the upper body muscles.

So, instead of thinking that the classic pull up is old news, you need to realize that you can also throw

MMA Training: Pull Ups

in some new twists to this old exercise to jazz things up if you want to.  That is what the article at Sherdog article is talking about.  Some of the ways in which you can add new twist to the classic pull up are as follows:

Commando Pull-ups

The commando pull-up is a great move for MMA athletes.

Plyo Pull-ups

Once you can bang out ten or more clean pull-ups in a row, you’re ready to start working on plyometric pull-ups.

The One Arm Pull-up

An awesome feat of strength on it’s own, the one arm pull-up may also have its place in MMA training

Flex Hangs and One Arm Flex Hangs

Whether you’re a novice learning to do a standard pull-up or an expert training for a one arm pull-up, performing a flex hang (holding your body at the top of a pull-up position) is a great way to practice.

If you would like to read more into each of these types pull ups you should check out the full article here.

Learning Judo

Judo Techniques are are taught to numerous Judo students here in the United states each day.  This discipline is one that a lot of people study to help improve their self defense and also incorporate into Mixed Martial Arts and Jiujtisu. It is even found in other martial arts like Taekwondo, Muay Thai, and Karate.  In reality, it is a fun and exciting discipline to learn while also learning techniques that will help protect yourself, and quite simply a way of life. As well it is an awesome martial arts to learn when you master specific Judo techniques you can actually apply a tremendous amount of these lessons into your everyday business and personal life.  Although you may hear many different meanings, the word Judo actually means all of the above and several more.

After the 1964 Olympic Games Judo became hugely popular and has continued a steady growth in the United States and also the world. Currently, Judo is one of the most popular martial arts in the United States right below Karate and Taekwondo.. Judo can help students stay in shape, excel in all areas of competition, stay protected with self defense, and several other things. For a majority of students, Judo is practiced just for fun.

Similar to other martial arts styles, Judo techniques as well as competitions have rules that ensure the safety of those competing in Judo or any other MMA competition. Students of Judo who are looking to test their skills will enjoy the competition levels, which range from club meets to national tournaments, and on up to the well known and best level of competition – the Olympic Games.

Judo is known best for it’s amazing throw techniques. What many aren’t aware of, is the fact that Judo is more than just throws. It also involves grappling on the ground, controlling holds, arm locks, leg locks, and even choking techniques. Judo teaches all aspects of self defense, from a grappler’s standpoint.

Whether you are a male or female you can learn Judo. You can even study Judo if you are disabled as I have personally seen numerous students in wheelchairs develop terrific Judo skills.  And since Judo uses the forces generated by your opponent against themselves it is perfectly setup for people with less physical assets than their opponents.  Judo is also a pretty inexpensive hobby when compared to other hobbies like golf and fishing since you can learn and work on your skills yourself.  Judo is also unique in the sense that even the elderly enjoy practicing it on a daily basis.

Mastering Judo techniques also helps students learn and develop respect and self discipline. It offers the chance to learn self confidence, leadership skills, power, flexibility, and physical prowess. Judo has evolved quite a bit over the years, going from a fighting art to competition status. These days, there are separate Judo ranks for kids, adults, and seniors.

The term Judo means the “gentle way” which implies that you are not going against force but with it.  Picture yourself walking with the current of a river instead of trying to walk against the current. Judo is unlike other martial arts, in the sense that it combines the best of grappling with awesome throws that require little to no strength – but more of the way you position your body. This is an excellent martial art – that anyone can enjoy and learn to many of the Judo Techniques.
