Combat Sports Conditioning - Working the Sprawl
August 13, 2008 by admin
Combat athletes take a beating on a daily basis. Combat sport conditioning programs should not add any further trauma to the combat athlete.
Sprawls in particular is one exercise that can beat up combat athletes if consisently done on hard surfaces as well as performed frequently during conditioning sessions.
Two videos below highlight proper sprwal training. On the first video, professional mixed martial artist, Lamont Lister demos how to get one hip down to the ground by actually turning the hips. This will help avoid single-leg takedowns.
The second video demos how to use a stability to train that combat sport specific skill while avoid contact with a hard surface.
Thanks Daniel for the great variation !

Nice drill! Thanks for showing it.
Great drills!! Only problem is that my training partner is a “beast” (320 @ 6′4″).. That SBall would pop like a zit if he got his big ass on there, lol..
Does anyone make a concrete SBall..lol..
