I agree with this on the arm exercises, jump roping I don't do because I personally don't believe bouncing around in real fight, but it's good exercise. The part at the end when u tried elaborating was bad. No if u grab someone's wrist anyone can can out I know a move that unless someone is super jacked u can always get out, Second getting out of locks isn't wrist or arm strength it's leverage so wrong. Third if some one gets your wrist in a lock your screwed cause a lock insinuated they have c

@loralp2000 I could talk for hours about the things you said on my videos, but I wont. But I will say if you think its all leverage and strength has 'nothing' to do with it then your naive. My other videos are training videos to help new martial artists with concepts, such as snapping your punches. Your comments on my peripheral vision video, is just difference in opinion. I think you think too highly of your own opinion, especially for someone instructor level in only two arts.

I have some questions that don't really apply to this vid, but you did'nt say I could'nt ask so: Do you know of any exercises to increase hip flexibility for someone with (hopefully nonpermanent) back problems? I would really like to be able to do a straddle split, but my hip bones don't want to move that way, even though the tendons and muscles are flexible. Also, do you know any exercises to strengthen just one side of your back? Or one side of your whole body? heh heh..

[BlackDice572]

@KoriKitti As for exercises specific to having low back pain they would really have to be tailored specifically to your condition. Im afraid I couldn't say what would be best for you without an examination of your back. But, I will still try to answer your questions as best I can in another reply because I doubt there will be room in this one for the splits question.

[BlackDice572]

@KoriKitti The side splits (straddle), are a difficult one. Most people think you can just keep stretching and get there but infact most people have bones that get in the way (the "Greater Trochanter" hits the top rim of your "Accetabulum"). In order to get around this there is only really a couple of ways of doing it, first try turning your toes and feet up to the ceiling, secondly rotate your pelvis forward and arch your back into extension (wouldn't recommend if you have back pain).

@chickenmanstan - Like I said in the video, most of the muscles that move the wrist also move the fingers and hand and vice versa. The skipping rope Im using in the video is weighted. Your forearms get tired far quicker than your heart and lungs do. Its the circular movement with the wrist that improved the strength and endurance of the wrist flexors and extensors and therefore the finger flexors and extensors.

I've found adding this kind of training to my workout very good, as it's cheap, you don't have to build any contraptions or use weights.

You could almost do this with rocks - all though tennis balls (most of you might already have at home) or something similar. Or just go get some from harder rubbery balls from your local sporting store for 10€ max.

Please do try this out, and if you find this useful, recommend to your friends.

Good compilation generally on this clip :)

Good video mate. I have a question. Do you know of any free hand exercises to strengthen the wrists? Perhaps some variations of regular push ups?

[chickitakoowan]

hi, what weight is it that you use for the broom handle workout? i use 5kg.

I also use a tennis ball to train grip
