Hey Rick,
ReplyDeleteWhat does your balance workout comprise itself of?
Hi Ms Serenity! I spend most of my time on the round balance ball. I practice jumping on the ball to my knees. Lately I've been rolling the ball forward, running to catch up, and jumping on it. It forces you to use your core and legs to bring the ball and your body to a stop. Once on the ball I use my body to move the ball around in circles and north/south/east/west while maintaining center of gravity. I also spend a lot of time on one knee to simulate knee on belly. Only very recently, I've been trying to stand up. I can get to kneeling position on larger balls but can only stand on the small balls. That's what I do on my own.
ReplyDeleteMy strength coach loads me with weights and has transition from standing to kneeling to standing on the bosu. He also has me do bicep curls, lateral raises, and other lifts while kneeling on the round ball. Recently he started attacking me with two padded sticks while kneeling on the round ball. I defend with my forearms. He alternates between head, body, and leg shots which forces me to bob and weave quite a bit.
That's about all I'm doing now. Do you have any suggestions? I'm looking for dynamic balance drills that are applicable to BJJ. For example, stuff that will help me not get swept by strong open guard and help me maintain knee on belly.
