Here is Jukucho doing some padwork in a 3 minute round with my youngest daughter, 13 years old. It gives you an idea of what to aim for with pad work.

I've taken some kickboxing classes here and there and notice the super long combinations. Aside from being good brain twisters, and sometimes having useful elements in there like a step in, step out or learning to post/push the opponent, I feel like they lack feedback from the other party. In MMA there are nearly no such exchanges of 6+ strikes. Anyone know their use?

Brent, who came to Japan from the Rishinjuku Belgium branch for his professional debut, achieved an impressive KO victory. Starting from the 7th bout of the main card, the TATSUJIN rules were applied. Taiga (Moushalen Osaka Branch, STRIKER GYM), the head of the Osaka branch, faced Brent Dupuis (Rishinjuku Belgium), who was making his professional debut. As mentioned, Brent had traveled from Belgium for his debut fight, and from the very beginning it was clear he was determined to bring a victory back home. In Round 1, despite Taiga’s sharp straight punches, Brent remained unfazed. He clinched, took him down, and immediately followed up with a barrage of ground-and-pound strikes. After the restart, Brent quickly clinched again, executed another takedown, and continued with ground-and-pound, showing full adaptation to the rules. Even though Taiga’s corner was shouting “Don’t grapple!”, Brent’s momentum could not be stopped. After a third takedown followed by more ground-and-pound, the referee stepped in to stop the fight. As a result, Brent demonstrated complete mastery of the TATSUJIN rules with his consistent strategy of clinching, takedowns, and ground strikes, securing a TKO victory at 1 minute 12 seconds of Round 1—a brilliant first-round TKO win in his professional debut.

They announced a ten minute break 😫 And then the fight began. Professional card. Tatsujin Rules. Clinch, throw, ground and pound. Clinch, throw, ground and pound. Clinch, throw, ground and pound. T-K-O! Brent Dupuis won his pro debut match against an experienced Taiga Striker! And can now call himself a professional fighter. Flawless fight camp. Flawless weight cut. Flawless victory.
