Plyometric Squat Jumps: Well just like fighters need pop in their punches they also need pop in their kicks. Once again effective kicks in MMA come from having wonderful technique, but like before if we combine that technique with muscular power then your kicking power takes on a whole new meaning.

Plyometric Squat jumps (like plyometric push ups) train that neural drive to get the body’s nervous system dialed in for performing movements with greater velocity. Once again the goal is to initiate the SSC.

The squat jump is performed by performing a power squat by rapidly descending the hips into a hinge. This is reinforced by starting from a standing position with the arms overhead. From here swing the arms from overhead down by your sides while simultaneously hinging the hips into a squat.

Once the hips are hinged and the knees are bent immediately ascend up out of this by achieving triple extension of the ankles, knees, and hips in order to jump up off the ground. Once you land from the jump absorb the landing by landing softly achieving triple flexion of the ankles, knee, and hips in order to recoil the body to load up for a subsequent jump.

Recommendation: I would recommend that a reasonably strong fighter that is proficient at squatting perform 3 to 5 sets of squat jumps for 4 to 7 repetitions on leg power training days.
