Isometric and dynamic strength conditioning
Most of wrestling and jujitsu and the clinch hold in Muy Thai boxing are isometric and dynamic strength or dynamic tension meaning that the muscles are contracting against each other for strength. I do exercises from a book I have titled “Dynamic Strength”, and I do karate katas or forms while stiffening my entire body throughout. Doing the katas with dynamic strength allows the muscles to be worked in all positions throughout their full range of motion. From how I feel doing these exercises and katas I believe they are very effective at building strength and explosiveness and not as much bulk as weight resistance exercises. So why aren’t isometric and dynamic tension (also called dynamic strength) exercises a bigger part of mma and wrestling training?
