Improving balance.

What exercises do you do to improve your balance?

 

Whatever movement I want to improve my balance in.

 

Skipping rope helps you learn to be light on your feet, which is good for balance in my opinion. Just don't go slow and steady.. change the pace, try different things, move around while skipping etc. Don't make it a slow, long cardio session.

 

Stand on a medicine ball

I do a LOT of balance drills. Especially with my younger fighters. Tomorrow, I'll video us drilling and upload it to YouTube.

 

What for? Pointless, unless you compete on a medicine ball...

 

Focus pressure on the heel of the foot during weight redistribution.

It's all technique and repetition.

 

That seems pretty good if you plan on fighting while log rolling.

 

For S****, Steelshoulders and anyone else who thinks standing on a log, ball, etc. is going to help balance in anyway:

Also make sure you move onto your heels, and do the opposite of anything s**** suggests.

Think about basic physics... widen your base of support, create more contact with the ground, lower your centre of gravity. Practice your balance during the activity you want to get better at balancing at. Developing bigger, stronger legs will naturally lower your centre of gravity, and that strength will allow you to move your body into better positions more easily.

 

:rofl:good

 

So D/W what were the protocol of the tests, what type of balance mechanics were they using.

 

I like s****, nice guy and very helpful, but there's no sense in training on stuff like that.
