Yet another element you should add to your conditioning program that will give your body something to think about for a couple of days is the Squat Jump Exercise.
A plyometric drill that is just like to sounds - Stand with your feet about shoulder width apart, crouch down whilst keeping your back as straight as possible and then leap into the air as high as possible.
The squat Jump Exercise will really work your legs and help introduce that explosive power that is essential to your kicking techniques. The legs need to be strong in both defense and attack.
The Squat Jump Exercise can be executed as standalone or incorporated into an existing conditioning program that you may have. In higher numbers this drill will give your lungs a heavy workout too.
The Squat Jump exercise is a functional movement, using bodyweight and can be done virtually anywhere. It will work your thighs, hamstrings, glutes, calves and lower back. This is certainly another must-do exercise to anyone involved in Jiu Jitsu or other Combat Sports.
