One thing that Bruce Lee (pictured above) was aware of was the importance of building strength, mobility, and quickness. Just like the great Bruce Lee I have a similar mindset when it comes to training for any form of sports performance and conditioning and this is especially true for the world of MMA. One great body weight drill that I like to incorporate into my fighters’ strength and conditioning program is the hindu push up drill. This particular exercise is excellent for mobility, core stability, and overall core strength. These are all traits necessary for quickly developing the ability to evade punches and kicks while being able to dish them out at the same time! Check out my video demonstration below involving the hindu push up!

I think you know what I mean especially when it comes down to controlling your own resistance through the effort of some dynamic motion. Once you get a handle on the hindu push up you then will want to start thinking about how to progress. The next little demonstration I have lined up for you below is a more intense variation of the hindu push up drill which is known as the dive bomber push up! This is the hindu push up’s evil twin.
