Mastering The Hunter Squat for BJJ Strength & Resilience w/ Mark Wildman

Mark Wildman is a strength coach and educator known for his systemized approach to unconventional training—focusing on tools like heavy clubs, kettlebells, and rotational strength.

In this episode, we dive deep into the Hunter Squat—an overlooked yet powerful movement for grapplers. Mark breaks down why it’s one of the best squat variations you’re not doing, and how it uniquely builds both strength and mobility at the same time.

We also get into:

• What makes the Hunter Squat different from other squat variations
• Why grapplers need strength and mobility, not just one or the other
• How to build “joint-specific” strength for the mat
• Why traditional tools and lifts fall short for grapplers
• Programming tips for integrating the Hunter Squat into your training
• How the movement ties into real-life mat scenarios

This is a must-listen for grapplers looking to fortify their bodies and evolve beyond traditional training approaches.
