Improving Mental and Physical Ability Through Aggressiveness Exercises

Aggressiveness exercises are a great way to improve our mental and physical abilities. In our next issues we will cover a few of them.

Drill:

Assuming the "crawling on knees" position in the middle of the space (whether inside or outside), we face our partner with a big exercise ball between us. The aim of the exercise is to push our partner to other side of the space only with the ball.

Tips:

1. The only way to influence our partner is through the ball.

2. It is very important we maintain a play mentality.

3. We can decide to work in time sets, meaning for example, that for 3 minutes, we continue the drill no matter how many times one partner was pushed to the other side of the space. In general, the amount of sets, their duration and the length of time of each set, should be decided upon according to our abilities and endurance level both mentally and physically.

4. It is worthwhile to choose a space which isn't too big, so pushing our partner to the other side becomes a feasible achievement.

5. It is important that we look for the aggressiveness inside the exercise rather than the techniques which can be applied. We shouldn't look to achieve our goal through joint-locks or strikes of any sort.

6. When we finish the exercise it is very important to stretch our whole body.
