Anyone into Wrestling, Aikido, Hapkido, Grappling???
If so what exercises or functional routines do you guys follow??? I know there is a lot of cardio involved in wrestling and I have been told to do a lot of grip work for the other three but what else??? I have been told that things like pullups, closegrip presses, dips, deadlifts, farmers walks, squats and things of that nature are good as well for strength in these areas. The reason I ask is because I do variations of all of these in my job from time to time. I want to use my weight training to make me stronger in these areas. I am by no means a martial artist or wrestler but I do use a few wrestling moves, joint locks(aikido, hapkido), and take downs(grappling) from time to time at work. I am a deputy sheriff that works in the county jail, so you know why I ask. I am just curious how to curve my training somewhat in that area to maybe help improve on some of this, to make me more functional.

I do alot of grappling, wrestling training, jiu jitsu training. My weights training is kept to 1 session a week as i train every day for the above.
My weights sessions consist of deadlifts, benchpress, chinups. kneck work, gripwork and farmers walks (sandbags etc). For gripwork, i tend to use things like thick bar holds ( timed ). this is because in grappling you need to hold your grip for long periods of time as well as being vice tight.
I sometimes add stiff legged dead's to work hamstrings.
Hope this helps.

I was in tae kwon do for two years, and jujitsu for 2 years. Hapkido is the two combined and they're great! You'll get a very good cardio workout in any of those.
