Combat Sports Conditioning: Warm-Up for Grappling Part 1

[VuelveElMaestro]

This is amazing.

I started gracie barra jiu jitsu last week and this was one of the warm ups.

For some reason i couldnt do it. I couldnt figure out which way to turn my hips and which hand to bring forward. lol

I can kinda do it now.

[WAFFLESMINBIN]

been doing this for a month or so now and it really helps with heads kick, really helps to strech the hips and groin..

[RickMerchantttt]

@WAFFLESMINBIN Nothing like a good ol' groin stretch. Few muscle groups hurt more than those bastards. Haha.

greatly done looks very good, could be a nice thing for Children too. Thanks

Some chinese martial arts styles call this Gecko Walking.. So, I agree, it didn't originate anywhere in particular, but a great workout nonetheless.

[jd27x]

I like it. gonna start using it thanks

[UFMA4LIFE]

we call that the spider, it originates from gymnastica original in brazil

[thecubeisyou]

It doesn't "originate" anywhere. it's a movement that has been done by lots of people through history. Hindi wrestlers, Russian troops, Greeks, etc. etc. gymnastica is just one place a version appears.
