Jiří Prochazka hits wood 500 times a day to harden his hands and create creativity

UFC light heavyweight number two Jiří Prochazka talked about working with wood as a new training method.

“Every day I work with wood, I strike it. This is a good training in the clarity of technique, and you yourself become hard as a rock. After this, my fists will simply go through the opponent. The technology itself will become more dangerous.

After 500 hits a day, I go to the pear, and after the tree it seems easy to me. Good hand hardening. That’s how I see my training – to show something crazy, something new in the cage, you have to train like this,” Prochazka said in an interview with The MMA Hour.
