There’s a concept in movement called “stealing energy from the ground.”
For us on the mats, that starts with toe extension.
Strikers know this… power doesn’t come from the arm, it travels from the ground up.
Grapplers should be thinking the same way: heavier top pressure from side control, knee on belly, etc., more drive on your wrestling shots, better force transfer on the mats…
You need adequate toe extension.
Check for yourself:
Can you comfortably kneel with your toes extended (“active” toes)?
No? There’s a way around this.
In next week’s Rehab Roadmap, I’ll break down exactly how to improve toe extension so you can move and perform better on the mats.
Stay tuned.
