Week 34: stand up and sparring

Clinch domination: 
Working good positions for the lifts we looked at last week plus dragging the opponent to the mat. Initially we took it in turns offering resistance. It moved into us both fighting for dominance in the clinch and the drag down if available.

Centre attack striking verses escaping:
Feeding person below strikes and they simply have to escape. Joe had us on a numbered circle whereby number 2 would rotate every round and number 1 stays on their back at the start of each round. Very tough on the bottom as simply physically demanding. Trick is to break their posture and recover to at least half guard. 

Lead punch then rear punch attack followed by own 3rd attack:
This drill is designed I think to develop sound body timing and rhythm and fluid attacks. Joe also talked about attacking and defending against the open and closed side. The closed side is outside his lead arm and away from the power rear hand. Open side is moving towards, circularly, towards his power hand. 
We then developed into adding of our own 2 attacks after the straight lead and straight rear punch.

Ground defence rounds: 
Have to defend and get up. Use smart and appropriate ground defence posture. Person on the feet needs wing big wide shots down on the opponent

5 minute conditioning round: 
1 punch then duck, 2 punches then squat, 3 punches then sprawl, 4 punches then bob and weave against 4 round punches.. A really tough physical drill.

Rounds of MMA:
Starting standing then to the ground if needed. The big positive for me tonight was staying relaxed on the feet and finally pulling off my first compression submission; the calf compression
