Specificity Series: Hip Abduction
•
Specificity is a concept that should always be taken into consideration when designing a strength training regimen for a particular sport. This time we’ll examine a particular movement that has far more applications to BJJ than almost any other sport – Hip Abduction.
•
Hip abduction is defined as moving the leg away from the midline of the body. This can occur with the knee bent (transverse plane abduction) or with the leg straight (frontal plane abduction).
•
Both types of hip abduction can be found in countless positions in BJJ. The specific examples we demonstrate in the top video are:
-Recovery from the leg drag (transverse)
-Recovery from the side smash (transverse)
-Lasso tilt sweep (transverse)
-Spider X-guard sweep (frontal)
•
Since there are so many applications of hip abduction in BJJ, we find it crucial to train abduction in both planes of motion. We also aim to keep our abduction exercises within the context of metabolic stress, as recovering guard can be a grueling match-long process. Our specific examples in the second video are:
-Band Seated Hip Abduction (at 3 different angles of hip flexion: leaning back, sitting up tall, hinged forward)
-Band Seated Hip Abduction + Iso Hold
-Band Walks (performed as lateral band walks or monster walks)
•
Don’t sleep on hip abduction! For those looking for the bands we use, visit the link on the page for @the_hip_thruster. Anybody looking for more abduction variations or ways to use a hip loop you already have, check out @bretcontreras1 @theglutelab
