Monkey Tree

This drill is great for developing good grip, balance, and body coordination. It can be done on both sides. For a great burn, do this drill three times one direction and then three times the other direction without stopping. The standing partner also gets a great workout. In the video below, the guys are doing 5 minutes straight as part of their warmups.

Fantastic drill, first started doing after watching TUF 2.

So the rubber didn't go as planned. Oh well, it's only $30.

This is a really good drill. First seen it when I used to train at City Boxing gym in San Diego. They're pretty big on conditioning there.
