Stretching and Mobility Exercises for Martial Arts and Self-Defense

Equipment used in this video:

• Foam roller: A must-have for all mobility work.
• Hyperice Vyper vibration foam roller: Expensive, but worth every single cent. I couldn’t live without mine anymore.
• Yoga strap: Practical for some of the exercises.
• Elastic band: Versatile and practical piece of equipment.
• Power band: When regular elastic bands aren’t strong enough.
• Yoga Bolster: Comfortably perform several of the more difficult exercises.
• Wobble board: Ankle mobility and stability, all in one.
• Light Kettlebell: 10Lbs is plenty for the shoulder exercises and to create the levers with your arms for some of the stretches.
• Gray Cook’s books: His Movement and Athletic Body in Balance are excellent.
