Nabard Combat Training is a great way to incorporate multi-joint movement patterns into a client's fitness routine. Mastering these diagonal patterns may assist in maximizing both functional and athletic skill performance. In addition, the exercise techniques help in developing proprioception of the joints (joint awareness) as well as stabilization and grip strength. Check out these videos.....After watching, you will see this style of training is much more than just combat training. It can be incorporated into any post rehab fitness program as well for people of all ages.

So, What Was Being Targeted With the Diagonal Snatch, Log Uppercuts and Spirals??
Diagonal Snatch:
-In this exercise, you are moving the kettlebell in a D2 Flexion Pattern in PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation). Basically, you were working a diagonal proprioceptive pattern which will lead to more efficient functional movement patterns (Targeting the Nervous System)
-You are working Shoulder mobility, scapular stability, grip, forearm strength, rotator cuff stabilization, core stabilization, glute activation
Long Log Uppercuts:
-More diagonal patterns, this time with speed and power, which is more challenging to maintain core stability
-Grip and forearm strength
-Scap stability as you do not want to allow your shoulder blades to protract while you are "punching" upward
Short Log Spirals:
-Diagonals again, this time combined with dragon lunges
-Do not allow the logs to move off of your forearm, so you must squeeze the handles tight (Grip)
-If you push off the rear leg when moving into the upright position, you get a dynamic psoas stretch and assist your push off which is necessary in many sports. Obliques will also be targeted as your trunk rotates and the core must remain stable throughout

More on Core Stability and A Dyna-Core Circuit
Scroll Down for Video Clip:
Definitions:
Static: Fixed; no movement or change
Dynamic: Continuous and productive activity or change (for our purposes, regarding the dynamic plank, this relates to the extremities; and for the dynamic uppercut, this relates to the spinal segments)
Mobility: Motion
Stability: Ability to withstand sudden change or deterioration...With the exercises shown, engaging the core withstands deterioration of spinal "control", thus avoiding injury
Static Stability: Maintain a neutral lumbar spine with no extremity motion
Dynamic Stablity Level 1: Maintain a neutral lumbar spine with extremity motion; the core withstands force exerted by the extremities
Dynamic Stability Level 2: Maintain a "stable", engaged core and lumbar spine with movement of the extremities and the spine...the spinal segments are moving with "control" (Controlled Mobility)
Goal:
To teach your client to engage their core throughout small and large movement patterns in order to increase coordination, efficiency and strength as well as decrease their risk of injury.
Learn to maintain control throughout the full available range of motion, not just at mid range where the muscle is strongest.
Why the diagonal movement patterns???
Because functional movement is rarely in straight plane, but rather in diagonal directions. Spiral and diagonal motions target the nervous system in order to maximize body awareness, proprioception and kinesthesia. The better and "cleaner" we become at these movements, the more efficient we will be on the playing field or throughout everyday life. A football player may be able to bench press 500 pounds, but if he can not effectively and efficiently move in and out of a lunge position, how "strong" is he???
This Circuit incorporates diagonal patterns with squatting, lunging and reaching activities. It will also get you to break a sweat....Full Spectrum Fitness!!! Pay attention to the 3 exercises in the clip. What is being targeted?
