Strength training in martial arts

Wrestling sports have gained a lot of popularity in recent times, mainly due to the dynamic development of MMA in Poland. The work done in professional training (boxing, K-1, muai thai, kick-box, BJJ, judo, stores, etc.) provides endurance to athletes, but what about the strength part?

1. A strength training plan tailored to combat sports

BJJ, judo, supplies, sambo, where most of the fighting takes place on the ground floor; and mixed martial arts such as MMA or jiu-jitsu, where the level of the fight changes. Many disciplines are referred to by the same term fighting sports, but each discipline is characterized by a slightly different specificity of effort. Despite the use of different techniques, fighting at other levels, differences in the duration of rounds and fights, the basis for training a motorist in any fighting sport should be strength training.

2. Exercises in the gym? What do you shape?

This will significantly increase the potential for strength and the ability to use it in other movements. This improvement will have a direct impact on the form and achievement in the leading discipline. The training programme should be based on exercises such as seating, deadlines or pushing that will improve the functioning of the nervous system and allow for the recruitment of a much larger number of motor units and fast-running muscles.

3. Is it even martial arts? How do you build muscle?

They should allow for the creation of a buffer of strength to be transferred to the force of impact, grip or throw during combat during training. First, it should be emphasized that the purpose of strength training in martial arts practitioners is not to build and shape the body, but to improve muscle function. High-volume, long-tensive (TUT) training units focused on muscle fiber hypertrophy are not beneficial for fighters, and therefore their overall athletic figure is strongly the result of a combination of intensive training units of high-intensity training exercises, such as strength training, strength training and dynamics, which have a key role to play in high frequency training.

4. Is bodybuilding a hit or a kit?

In combat sports, these will be whole sequences of movements requiring the involvement of multiple muscle groups, the recruitment of as many motor units as possible and the fastest transfer of strength. In the context of combat sports body training does not meet the requirements of a fighter. Therefore, strength training based on the principles of classical bodybuilding, which is based on exercises that isolate the work of individual muscles, performed in high intervals of repetition, will not work at all.

5. Strength training in martial arts Summary

It should also serve a preventive function and prevent injury (work on mobility and stabilization, tightening trailers and straps). The possibilities created by strength training often determine the victory in combat. Their training should be aimed at shaping relative strength (the ratio of maximum strength to body weight) which will create the potential for further work on power and speed development.
