As we wind down the sparring cycle, we’re going to take a break from the freestyle sport fighting we’ve been doing and focus on some different techniques and drills to help round-out the skills you’ve been developing over the last couple months.
For next week Wednesday’s 6:30pm Advanced class (Dec 14), we will be training some basic clinch techniques for very close-range fighting. We’ll even make use of the spiffy wall mats to do some MMA-style drills.
Notes:
- This will be a technical—though physically demanding—class. We will do little, if any, freestyle sparring.
- Please bring fingerless MMA gloves if you have them. They’re not required, but some techniques will be easier with them than 16-oz gloves. We will not be sparring with them.
- Remember the pummeling warm-up? Yeah, we’re probably going to do that for starters.
