Optimising martial arts training by using gymnastics exercises

Engaging in high-performance competitions (World Combat Games, World Championships, European and/or Balkan Championships) has made it necessary for the martial technique to have the benefit of knowledge from other sports disciplines as well, particularly gymnastics, in order to give greater weight to competition artistic programmes which, throughout the world, reach degrees of complexity that had not been encountered until a few years ago. The research objectives from our study aims to are to elaborate a concise and efficient material on the factors that have led to the achievement of the performance presented in the preamble of the paper; highlight the suitability and efficiency of training and research methods; elaborate concrete proposals for strengthening and expanding activities on how to conduct future training programmes etc. The combination of Ju-jitsu technical elements and artistic and rhythmic gymnastics elements can contribute to achieving a high performance and consolidating motor skills and competences for to increase the performance of sports. Methods used, statistical parameters and the value of interpretations allowed the generating a differences between the two groups rise from the implementation of superior Ju-jitsu techniques a specifics elements of gymnastics, from the use of mental training and relaxation techniques which, in time, have led to strengthening the psychological skills of increasing the concentration power in conditions of high stress, and, implicitly, to developing some complex abilities and reflexes. The training period, the development and completion of the experimental programme, have allowed us to confirm the elaborated hypothesis and achieve remarkable performances.
