Stalk Run: run in place but with a low base. Like if you were running after something but you didn’t want it to see you. Hold a hammer or small ax in your strong hand and as you are running swing it in an X in front of you. After Every fiew swings drop the ax next to you and drop down and do an alligator walk for about 5-6 reps. Grab your ax pop back up and keep Stalk running. Keep it going for about 10 minutes.

5 rounds. keep track of your time each round rest 30sec between rounds.

30 Jump Lunges

50 Pushups

10(each arm) One arm dumbell snatches

Dumbell or Kettlebell Squat and Press(like doing a front squat to a military press)

Repeat 5 times with as little rest as possible.  Try to keep or beat your time each round.

Those of you looking to be more athletic should check out some crossfit workouts they are alot of fun and give you functional strength.

Striking for MMA: Improve your striking by simply focusing on your target. Sounds simple huh? Well, you always hear fighters say that they hit the guy as hard as they could and didn’t knock him out. Thats my point, where on the body you hit is just as important or more important as power. Study the body and figure out what nerves are were and what they do to the body, practice aiming for them. Pin Point your strikes by placing targets on your heavy bag and practice hitting the targets. Its that simple. Or if you have someone hold the mitts have him tell you if you hit the center on the mitt. Try doing 3-5 min rounds of one strike at a time. Example 5 min only Punching but making sure each strike lands exactly how you want and where you want. Then do kicks then knees. Then you can put it all together at the end and see if you can hit your targets with all strikes. Start off slow and work your way to harder, faster strikes just focus and you’ll be knocking people out in no time.
