Modern training systems applied in martial arts (including boxing, karate, kickboxing) give a top priority to the power punch training tools, with a special emphasis on the punching speed and key muscle (limb/ side abdominal, dorsal and shoulder) strength building aspects. V.I. Filimonov found a high correlation between the punch power and leg-trunk muscle strength rates in the boxing masters (r=0.916, p<0.01) and recommended giving a special attention to transversospinalis training. It is important that these tonic/ postural muscles are controlled by the cerebral sub-cortex and may not be easily trained. Special training methods, tools and mechanical systems are required to train these muscle groups. We applied a fast-response Sail Training Machine to train spinal twists by the gradually increased training workloads. The fast-response system makes it possible to scale down the exposure to injuries and highly expand the range of the transversospinalis training exercises.

Keywords: dynamic and postural control muscles, fast-response Sail Training Machine, hook.
