Power Training Tips - 02/26/14 12:50 PM

*Learn to generate more power by focusing on mastery of body mechanics. Learn how to leverage your full weight in your power attacks.
*Leverage modern training equipment (heavy bag, punching/grappling dummy, focus mitts, etc) to accelerate and maximize power development.
*Train to increase your movement speed. Power equals speed x weight. A faster fighter is potentially a more explosive fighter.
*Get stronger through resistance training. Science has proven that a stronger fighter is faster and more powerful.
*Develop power weapons for all fighting ranges in order to maximize knockout and submission proficiency. Cross-train in different combat systems.
*Spar full-contact regularly so that you can learn how to use (and counter) power in a real fight/bout.
*Train with a partner who is stronger and more powerful to accelerate your progress.
*Become a student of combat power by studying the most effective knockout and submission artists. This will increase your power IQ.
