I cannot emphasize enough the importance of training to build strength, mobility, and flexibility of the hips. The hip joint is a crucial element in nearly every movement we make, from walking and running to jumping and lifting. By focusing on this vital area, we can unlock untapped potential, improve overall athletic performance, and reduce the risk of injury. A well-conditioned hip complex allows for greater power generation, enabling athletes to excel in their chosen sports. Powerful hip extension, facilitated by strong glutes and hamstrings, is essential for explosive movements such as sprinting, jumping, and lifting heavy loads. Additionally, hip mobility and flexibility contribute significantly to maintaining proper alignment and biomechanics, allowing athletes to move efficiently and effectively while minimizing the risk of injury. By dedicating time and effort to enhancing hip strength and mobility, athletes can expect increased performance across a wide range of physical activities. Moreover, the benefits of hip training extend beyond the realm of sports and physical performance. In today’s increasingly sedentary world, many individuals suffer from tight and weak hip muscles, leading to poor posture, chronic pain, and limited range of motion. Incorporating hip-specific exercises into regular fitness routines can help mitigate these issues, improving overall quality of life. Three key reasons to prioritize hip training: ⚡️Enhance athletic performance: Greater hip strength, mobility, and flexibility contribute to improved power generation and biomechanics, enabling athletes to excel. ⚡️Reduce injury risk: Properly conditioned hips support joint stability and alignment, lowering the likelihood of injuries related to muscle imbalances or poor movement patterns. ⚡️Improve quality of life: Strong and mobile hips can alleviate chronic pain, correct poor posture, and increase the range of motion for everyday activities.

We all want to improve our strength and mobility, but are we willing to put in the work? Fortunately, you don’t have to make EXTRA time for mobility training after your workout. You can actually save time, by including movements/exercises that train both your strength and mobility simultaneously DURING your workout! For example, the Pistol Squat, the Samurai Walk, the Turkish Get Up… + plenty more, all focus on just that! Making you a better mover (and lifter 🏋️) all round! Try switching out some of your regular lifts for some more challenging variations that require more balance, stability, and range of motion to really transform your training and improve your mobility 🫡 Which strength and mobility exercise do you want to try first? #strengthandmobility #mobilitytraining #rangeofmotion #longevity #athleticperformance #phasesix

Our body’s movement is intricately connected, beginning from the ground up with our feet. Many might not realize, but a significant portion of the issues that plague our ankles, knees, and even hips often originate from weak foot foundations. For optimal athletic performance, having strong, stable, and mobile feet is non-negotiable. However, by sidelining foot and ankle strength & mobility, many inadvertently compromise their full athletic potential. While these 3 movements origins are deeply rooted in martial arts, the benefits they provide translate over to all sports and practices and will work to “bulletproof” your ankles and feet. Which one will you try first? #footstrength #mobilitytraining #primalmovement #phasesix

Here is a flow breakdown for you guys, this time covering one our favourite movement chains! This one can be used to build strength as well as increase coordination, proprioception and mobility! This one can easily be broken down into Three Phases, then combined to form the flow! ⚡️THE FLOW: ▪️Hip Escape > Roll to Combat Position > Samurai Walks (Shikko) ⚡️STEP 1: ▪️Hip Escape x 30 Secs ⚡️STEP 2: ▪️Roll to Combat Stance x 30 Secs ⚡️STEP 3: ▪️ Samurai Walks x 30 Secs While this workout has been designed with Martial Artists and combat athletes in mind, as always these movements can be translated into any form of training regardless of your practice or sport! Take care (and your time) with this one as it requires a lot of strength and mobility to perform safely and efficiently. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast! 🚨 We’re less than 3 weeks away from our FIRST workshop of 2024 at our @phase6dojo on April 13th in Austin, Texas🚨 UNITE with us to unlock the secrets of bodyweight training, mobility drills, crawling, and other ground-based locomotion patterns, and learn how to seamlessly integrate them into fluid chain movement sequences or “flows”. ⚡️Click the link in the bio and get ready to start your own REVOLUTION!⚡️ #mobility #flexibility #primalmovement #longevity #phasesix
