Focus Master Floor Stand
I would like to tell you a bit about the floor stand.It
is made for the FocusMaster to mount to it instead of a wall. So you'll
not need to screw anything into the wall. It is a free standing unit. You'd think this couldn't handle the rigors of a fighter training on it, but surprisingly it is steady and secure. Using this as opposed to the wall mount will make it more flexible. You'll be able to move it around. Now you'll need a fair amount of space for this baby. It is not small at 72" tall and 30" wide.
The FocusMaster can be considered one of the more unique training devices
for mixed martial arts, boxing, kickboxing, and even traditional martial
arts practitioners. This device can be considered a specially designed
hybrid of a focus mitt workout and a heavy bag session. Granted,
the differences between the two are somewhat significant. And, unlike
some common ‘gimmick oriented' training devices, the FocusMaster can
actually deliver demonstrable results in terms of improving
conditioning. Free Standing Focus Master
The Focus Master has the unique ability to be used as a free standing bag as well. See the free standing unit at
Focus Master Free Floor Stand.
Benefits Probably the most beneficial aspect of the Focus
Master is that it ties into the old training axiom that you can never
get enough repetitions. When you work with the Focus Master, you
will be able to perform as many variants of traditional boxing and
kickboxing combinations as you wish. The more reps you get in
with this device, the more experience with body mechanics, accuracy,
and, to a lesser extent, power is developed. And, of course,
there is always the added benefit of burning calories and developing
lean muscle mass. While sometimes overlooked, all of these benefits are
significantly helpful for those wishing to improve their conditioning
and endurance.
Accuracy The Focus Master is also a solid tool
for accuracy. A heavy bag has a much larger mass to it which is
understandable since the bag is designed to aid in developing power and
endurance. With the Focus Master, the intended target is a
smaller circular focus mitt style apparatus. Such a target is more
pinpointed and defined which means it can be used for developing
accuracy. One of the best ways to ensure this is to hit dead
center on the target. Most mitts will come with the drawing of a small
dot in the center of the focus mitt. Aiming towards such dots can aid in
boosting your potential to be accurate.
Issues The stationary component of this type of
training device does hamper the ability to move around it, but there is a
benefit to be found here as well: you can hit it with a lot more power.
Again, you will be limited in terms of how much power you can
exert as opposed to a heavy bag, but this is certainly NOT a weak system
that will collapse under excess stress. In actuality, the frame
of the Focus Master is strong enough to absorb a great deal of impact
from those that hit it with a little weight behind their punches. So,
there is no need to worry about the system breaking. You can ‘pound
away.' Just be sure to do so with proper accuracy as you do not want to
sacrifice form in your workout sessions. To do so would undermine a lot
of the benefits from the workout. So what is the conclusion? The
potential benefits to MMA training are rather vast. A fighter can
develop many attributes from working out on such a device. Additionally,
there is much flexibility to the device since it can be attached to
many structures in the home or in an apartment. Consider such
pluses to be a huge help for anyone looking to get workouts in at the
home. For some fighters, such flexibility is a must since their
schedules need it.
