If you train for self-defense, striking, grappling, or just want to stay capable and durable, your “support gear” matters more than most people think. The right tools make it easier to train consistently, recover faster, and keep progressing without needing a full gym setup.
Power Systems has a strong lineup of practical, no-nonsense equipment that fits well with martial arts training: bands for strength and endurance, stability tools for control and joint integrity, and recovery gear that helps you show up again tomorrow.

Why Power Systems Fits Martial Arts and Self-Defense Training
Martial arts training is rarely “one-lane.” You need strength, conditioning, mobility, balance, and recovery,usually in the same week.
Power Systems gear works well because it’s:
- compact (easy to store, easy to bring to the park)
- versatile (one item can cover multiple drills)
- scalable (you can progress without constantly buying new equipment)
Stability Ball: Balance, Core Control, and Injury Resistance
A stability ball is one of the most overlooked tools in combat sports. It’s not just “ab training.” Done correctly, it improves body control (especially under fatigue) because the ball forces you to stabilize and organize your posture.
Smart ways to use it for martial arts:
- controlled push-up variations for shoulder stability
- wall squats and isometric holds for leg endurance
- core bracing drills that transfer to kicks, sprawls, and clinch work
Resistance Bands: Strength That Transfers to Real Movement
Resistance bands are a self-defense training cheat code: they build strength through motion, not just in a fixed path. That matters when your training is rotational, dynamic, and full-body.
Practical applications:
- punch-out and guard endurance drills (controlled, not sloppy)
- rows and pulls to build upper-back strength for posture and clinching
- hip and glute activation to support footwork and kicking mechanics

Foam Rollers: Better Recovery Means More Training Sessions
You can’t train hard if you’re always stiff, tight, and walking around with “half-functioning” hips and shoulders. Foam rollers aren’t magic, but they are a reliable, repeatable way to improve tissue quality and reduce that beat-up feeling after training.
Where foam rolling helps most for fighters:
- calves and shins (footwork wear-and-tear)
- quads and hip flexors (kicks, knees, running)
- upper back (posture, desk time, and grappling rounds)
A Simple “Weekly Stack” Using These Tools
If you want a straightforward routine that’s easy to repeat:
- 2–3x/week: resistance band strength circuits (15–25 minutes)
- 2x/week: stability ball core + posture work (10–15 minutes)
- after training: foam rolling (5–10 minutes, especially legs and upper back)
Consistency beats intensity. The goal is to stay trained, not just get crushed once and disappear for a week.
Build the Setup You’ll Actually Use
The best gear is the gear that makes you train more often. If you’re building a long-term training lifestyle: at home, at the park, or between classes, Power Systems equipment is a solid way to add structure, variety, and recovery support without over complicating things.
