Question

How do I Become More Explosive Powerful And Faster?. I am a jujitsu fighter

Answer 1

Rahndi Ferguson (Judo Crusader) is really good at developing power for grappling. Check him out

Answer 2

You can add more muscle mass which will allow you more weight. More weight means you are harder to move, but if an opponent moves you it means that your momentum will be harder for you to stop. In truth all your power comes from momentum and torque. Working on techniques until they can be done instinctively will provided you with speed. For more explosive power during throws etc... then use your mind. Out think your opponent. You have to find ways of getting his weight and momentum shifting. While he is off balanced by the transition of moving into his technique or responding to your technique he is most vulnerable. Use this to your advantage.
It is a lot like playing chess.
Good luck.

Answer 3

I would like to answer this by giving an analogy.

When you fold a blanket, you have to snap it a few times to get it smooth and even.

I am sure you have taken a wet towel or rag and whipped it at your little brother...

This can be applied to the body. As you snap a blanket you have to do so loosely and as the blanket is floating upwards you quickly yank downwards and the blanket snaps. With knees bent, rise and sink with the movement

It's not as easy to explain as it is to demonstrate. I hope you got the jist.

You can practice this as if you were holding a blanket in your hands and get great results. You must use your breath inhaling and exhaling with the complete movement.

This is a Chinese exercise. Part of the internal arts.

Answer 4

Do some squats, push ups, and some wrestler's bridge.
Working on your abs and back muscles are also imoprtant to keep your upper body from getting pushed off balance.

Answer 5

If you want to become more powerful in Jujitsu start with the abdominal , back and leg muscles.

Your abdomin, your back and your legs comes into play when you find yourself on your back. A lot of people are usually gassed by then and struggle to shrimp away or struggle to bridge. Its really hard to shrimp or bridge when someone is really heavy and sittion on you, you will need good abs, a strong lower back and your quadraceps and hamstrings have to be condition. My suggestion is that you do about 300 crunches a day. each time you do them it has to be 100 straight three. Lets say you do a hundred when you wake up, 100 during mid day and 100 the night before you go to bed. The first 50 of any of these 3 sets have to be blasted through as fast as humanly possible. Your goal is to be able to blas through 100 straight through without stopping or breaking rhythm, thats called muscular endurace.....When you do cruches you will be also strenthening your back, your quads and hamstrings; all the muscles you need when on your back under a mounted position.

Next you need squats and lunges.You need to do at least 100 a day, at the very least! You can break them up into sets of 25. The first 50 done regularly but the last 50 you're gonna really focus your engergy on. You're gonna squat down and come up really slow, focusing on form. This is gonna creat a massive burn in your leg, the same burn you get when your dead tired and trying to lift a guy. Next lunges. lunges are your key to life. the key to being a good grappler is getting the guy on the ground before he gets u on the ground. If he beats you to it he'll most likely end up on top of you unless you're really good at reversing a takedown which rarely happens. In the grappling game you want to shoot like a mad man. There are only so many shots a person can sprawl from or avoid so if you continuously do them they'll gas out and give up the legs. Lunge, lunge lunge!!! Theres really no set number on lunges, just make sure your legs are burning before you go to bed. Also don go straight to lunges right after you just did squats, u might hurt yourself. Try to mix your excercises up so that you are on any particular muscle group too consecutively. Just before you do your lunges stretch your quads and hamstrings, do some splits or something to loosen your leg up.

You also need ot excercise your neck. Your neck should be able to sustain a hudge amount of pressure BUT BE CAUTIOUS! As strong as we want our neck to be we dont want to snap it in conditioning, once your neck is gone you are gone! YOu can strenthin your neck a number of ways. lay on your back with everything flat on the ground. pretend like you're gonna sit up but only move your neck up, kinda like you're doing situps but only with your neck. do that a couple times then flip over and do the reverse on your belly, do it for time or do it for max sets.. Make sure to stretch your neck when don.

Next do arm curls. Arm curls will help you fight off arm bars. ONce your caught in a bad position and you know the arm bar is coming its a test of strength to see if you can keep your arm curled. Finally pushups, well I dont have to tell you what they are good for. Do them often and regurly!

Answer 6

Plyometrics. It is designed for explosive power. And it works.

Answer 7

i am also. depends on what aspect you want to explode through. if it is take downs then you would want to do speed drills, like sprints and calf and quad workouts. if you want to explode to submissions, get more comfortable with the movements and positioning. core strength is key for explosiveness into submissions

Answer 8

Your core, Legs, and Back are your main muscles to train!!
Integrate with circuit training for high yields!!

Answer 9

Through proper conditioning training, designed to build explosive power.

First you want to do primarily circuit routines (routines in which you got from one exercise to the next with little to no rest period between).

I suggest a plyometric circuit for 2 weeks, then a weight routine circuit for 2 weeks, alternating between the two.

Plyometrics are all designed to be explosive with fast twitch muscle building.

They included things like squat jumps, jumping lunges, etc.

http://www.myfit.ca/exercisedatabase/plyometrics.asp?type=Sport+Specific+Exercises

Look through the many things online, and have your coach help you develop a plyometric circuit he thinks will benefit you.

Then on your weight weeks, work on Olympic style lifts. They are meant to build explosive power. Pay attention to speed and lifting explosively, as opposed to slow control type of lifting.

I wrote up a short one for a user not too long ago, here is one that I like to do.

Sorry to make this long, but here is a quick "butt kicker" circuit that I love. All you need is a good step, (at least 24 inches high) and a bar.

The goal is to do these in 1 cycle of this in 10 minutes or less, and to eventually be able to do this twice in 20 minutes. As you start to get below the 10 minute mark, then increase the weight.

This is all done with one bar (I prefer a curl bar) and one set of weight. Let's say for you 65lbs (A 25lbs on each end, with a 15lbs bar). You quickly go from exercise to exercise, with no resting.

30 Jumping Jacks
30-50 situps (depending on your fitness level)
20 Upright Rows http://www.exrx.net/weightexercises/delt...
20 Overhead Push Press
http://www.exrx.net/weightexercises/olym...
21's Curls (7 from bottom to half way, 7 from half way to top, 7 whole curls.)
Hop back down to 50 situps.

Remaining on the ground, bridge your back (Arch)
20 Pullovers http://www.exrx.net/weightexercises/lati...
50 Bench Press
25 Body weight dips (off the step)
http://www.myfit.ca/exercisedatabase/vie...
Now the fun stuff...
Grab the bar, place it on your shoulders.
30 Lunges (15 per leg)
http://www.exrx.net/weightexercises/quad...
20 Half Squats (just go half way)
30 Step ups (15 each leg) http://www.exrx.net/weightexercises/quad...
20 Clean and Press
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/exercise...


Voila!

Getting to under 10 minutes is tough, most of these exercises have to be done quickly and explosively to make it to this time. Your cardio will increase and you will build lean, fast twitch muslce. I usually do one of these at the beginning of practice and one at the end.

If you can work up to 2 rotations of that in under 20 minutes with Cadillacs on each end. (105lbs on the bar or so) and you will be an unstoppable beast.

Good luck!
