Medicine Ball Drill to Explosive MMA Takedown Power

Here’s the latest video from Eric Wong. Its a killer little vid on using the medicine ball to help develop your takedown power.

Here’s a progression that Eric recommends using if you’ve never done this drill before and you’ve got a good base level of strength from which to develop your power from…

Do the drill 2x/week following the schedule below:

Week 1 – 6 sets x 2 reps, 1-2 min rest
Week 2 – 8 sets x 2 reps, 1-2 min rest

Weeks 1 and 2 help you work your explosiveness and pop without too much fatigue. The key here is not to be too tired – you want to start each set fresh, so take as much rest as you need.

Week 3 – 6 sets x 3 reps, 90 s rest
Week 4 – 6 sets x 4 reps, 60-90 s rest

Weeks 3 and 4 transition to Power Endurance development. A lot of guys will want to do this first – but it’s backwards because how can you develop Power Endurance if you haven’t even worked on Power first?

This little tip is posted under this video on Eric’s Youtube channel and incase you missed my email a week or so ago Eric has also posted an article on his blog about the 3 Keys to Developing Explosive Takedowns for MMA, you can check it out here…
