Can Martial Arts/MMA training improve your tennis game

One Day at a gym in New York, I was introduced to a guy swinging a body bar like a golf club... ok.
I'll save that one for another time...

One of the most important things to look at in evaluating the benefits of cross training, is the specificity to the actual event as Bruce Lee called it.

When carefully analyzing the demands placed on the body, it's not difficult to train and improve your tennis game with the right type of martial arts style/s.

The rapid change of direction, sprinting, acceleration/deceleration of movements, load/unloading, agility, power, speed and grace just about sum it up.

There are disciplines that are very specific to the needs of tennis players. I've put these specific styles together to form the "martial arts for tennis" program to help everyday people improve the attributes that elevate their game, in a fun way.

If you would like to get an idea of what Kali/ escrima is about you may visit here. You will also see some of what I've done with others here
