In saying that, if you can land this in a competition or Fight that would be awesome!

This is an amazing drill as everyone always strikes coming forward BUT when the pressure gets applied most people don't like striking backwards. This allows you to work on punching power, balance/weight distributions and using angles

In this specific MMA sparring training I applied specific rulesets on the members getting them to focus on specific areas of their game. I reward them in a fun way to where if they land a takedown then the other person has to do burpees. (Incentivising them to go for it) Aside from that, having the body shot ONLY rule in effect ensures safety AND for the IMMAF Youth World Championship they have this rule in effect. So if any of our young members want to compete in that in the future it's a great way for them to practice! 💯
