I can’t agree more.
I have a herniated disc at L5 and my chiro started me on hanging. No, not by the neck.. I got one of the inversion tables and hand by my ankles 10 to 15 mins a week. When I first started it was 5 mins a day for a month. This truly helped. Essentially, your putting yourself into a “body weight” traction for your back. With the inversion table you can regulate how much weight you put on the pull by how far back you tilt. These days I use gravity boots and a pull up bar so Im at 100% body weight (178 lbs).
The last inversion table I found was free on “FreeCycle.org” .. I’ve seen them on CL also.
If you go this route, make sure you read up, and talk to your chiro first because it needs to be done slowly and carefully. Jumping into inversion can cause you more issues if you over due it too fast.
Hey there Brandx…
I love that you put Muay Thai into the options, because I train Krav and Muay Thai.. Here is what I’ve found to be true for me..
Krav is not an ART.
BJJ, Boxing (especially), Muay Thai, Wing Chun, etc are all art forms. They are steeped in ancient history and tradition and they have rules. In our school, Krav has only 1 rule.. “Don’t Die”
With that said, both BJJ and Muay Thai has been wonderfully helpful to me in my Krav training and real world fighting, however you have to remember again that they have rules. The key with adding any other training to your Krav curriculum or to your personal arsenal is that you have to remove the rules when you get into the street. This is easy with Muay Thai and with BJJ, but I found with boxing it’s a bit more difficult.
Don’t get me wrong though, every discipline that you pick up will help you in the long run, even if you only gleem 1 thing from them.. When you need it, it’s in your arsenal.
Muay Thai has had the highest impact on my Krav. It incorporates a great deal of strikes, dodges, and especially kicks. I only use the Muay Thai kicks now, and in Krav my fellow students are always amazed at the power you can generate through a body shield with a proper kick, aimed accurately over and over and over.
Hope that helps.
