Cupping Program for Martial Artists
Meet your inner fighter
Judo, Karate, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Taekwondo… No matter what your choice of martial arts is, the world of cupping is waiting for you with open arms to make your performance even better. Martial arts and other fitness training can sometimes lead to very tight muscles. No matter which style you practice, good flexibility is essential to martial arts. Improved flexibility increases the range & power of your kicks, punches and grappling techniques as well as reduces the potential for over-extension injuries (i.e. hamstring pulls).
This cupping session can help you to loosen up those tight muscles and joints and to get better contact with your leg muscles and the ground underneath you.
Cupping also helps in speeding up your bodies recovery time. So if you are looking to increase flexibility and stamina this session could be for you!
Use Dynamic cup, Dynamic mini and Static cups + the body oil
Cup buttocks
Cup thighs
- Place a static cup on the inside of the knee and one on the outside. Let sit for 1-3 min.

Cup back

If you are cupped by someone else – let the dynamic cup be pulled along each side of the spine muscle, from the pelvic edge up to the neck.
