Hello, today I would like to talk to you about one of my favorite tools for enhancing my balance for Martial Arts. It’s called the Bosu Ball. I have been using one in my training now for a long time and I credit my “drastically improved” over-all balance to using this wonderful tool.
The Bosu Ball work directly on the Stabilizer Muscles and can help strengthen and coordinate the entire musculature including the muscles of your body that you don't see. Everyone has heard the expression that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. The human body is no different. Muscular imbalance or inadequacy of even the smallest muscle can cause the entire system to fail. This is why I think the Bosu Ball is so important to Martial Artists.
For you San Soo Fighters out there I have uploaded a couple of video clips to show you how the Bosu Ball works when doing some of our simple warm-up exercises.
To see the video clips go to:

You can see that the body wants to sway and move when doing these warm-ups on the ball. The goal of course is to be able to do the warm-ups with power while minimizing your body sway. In the future, I will be creating a downloadable eBook called “Extreme Balance Training” using the Bosu Ball to help Martial Artists improve their balance.

Enjoy!
