FYI: What is a Sprawl??
The sprawl is an exercise movement inspired by the martial arts and used as a defensive technique in grappling training. Sprawl has also become an exercise for the average fitness enthusiast who wants to improve strength, speed and stamina.
Background
Sprawl comes from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and other forms of grappling-style wrestling. During a wrestling match it is used as a defensive movement to protect against your opponent diving at your legs and attempting to tackle or pick you up.
To do a Sprawl: Start in standing position, crouch down, shoot out legs to plank position, jump legs back to crouching position, and stand up = 1 rep. ***I like to remain in my squat position w/ my feet the entire duration of the movment. This helps me w/ range of motion, hip clearance, as well as speed.
