African Martial Arts | Laamb
To understand how these Senegalese wrestlers became so STRONG, including one all-powerful exercise they use that can HUGELY increase YOUR functional strength, you need to understand this:
For centuries Senegalese wrestling was used as preparation for WAR…
In essence, an ancient African form of MMA.
Warriors sparred, did sprints, push ups, pull ups and squats - with one key detail: they ALWAYS train in deep sand.
This sharply increases the demand on functional strength and the core and legs.
However, this isn’t the all-powerful secret training exercise I mentioned.
That honor would be reserved for buddy training.
Which is a wide variety of weighted carries and holds using the weight of a training partner rather than an artificial weight.
Buddy training is even used by the elite Japanese Olympic judo team to give their judokas the strength of human bears.
Ancient training practices are making a huge comeback.
