Sand Bags are one of our favorite training tools for combat sport athletes, especially our grapplers. Below is an interesting video of The Long Bag, once again in Beijing.
Likes:
O Static and dynamic grip action.
O Slight rotational components.
O Explosive hip and knee extension.
O Multi-planar movements.
O Hyper-gravity training stimulus
O Low Price tag - a simple bag filled with some sand or rice.
Dislikes:
O Spinal mechanics- too much flexion and torsion. I know those actions take place in combat sports and are strongly involved with grappling arts, and that some drills should place your body slightly outside of it's intended range in order to build a safety valve. It's the repeated training of those actions on top of their sports skills that could quickly lead to injury.
