Clinch grappling with strikes
Clinch looking for single leg capture
Clinch with striking looking for the takedown with Lee
Lee's talk about the evolution of MMA from strong style base to strikers to several style components to MMA to the future which maybe be rule breaking in terms of fighting conventions. This was as. A reaction to UFC on FOX whe BJ Penn got mauled by Rory McDonald and Nate Diaz got taught a 5 round lesson by Benson Henderson. Both winners are strong in all areas of MMA and don't come from a traditional martial arts base or core system. They are the future for the next few years. Very impressive to see how the sport is evolving. These are serious professional athletes and thanks the Gods the days of Tank Abbott, Orlando Weit and Mark Coleman are long gone.
Closed eye grappling with Milzy, closed eye grappling with striking eye Craig,
Nate Diaz role play: heavy front foot and long stance attacking with the Stockton slap. The other fighter was moving around, angling away and attacking. I found playing the role of the Diaz style very hard as it was so fixed and prescriptive. It was easily found out last weekend by a top level fighter and strategist.
Stand up rounds with Joe- tips plus rule breaking v regular. Joe gave me some excellent tips with my stand up skills which are 'developing'. When the weight goes on the back foot attack with the front front, use the feet and long step to attack with the hands (in and out), sharper and snappier attacks. Some good pics on Facebook and some prices less tips internalised.
Free form grappling with Milzy: "hit me as hard as you can, I won't hit you too hard". So a black eye later and lots of ineffective attacks on said Iranian it was over. In all seriousness Milzy said the point was too feel the depletion through heavy striking and how quickly the body can knacker.
Conditioning- mat walks and slams, plank superman, heavy bag striking, tenacity drill. Vids on YouTube of the pain and suffering at the end of a tough session.
