The “One Minute Drill” with Thai Pads: Sixty Seconds of Survival!

The infamous 1-minute drill routinely practiced at Unbridled Martial Arts. Sixty seconds of Survival!!  As explained in the video, the essentials of this drill are to: 1.) constantly feel & apply pressure, 2.) occupy the center-line, 3.) weather the storm, 4.) get that opponent back-pedaling (primary objective).

I call out which techniques to fire within the range of kicking, punching, and close quarters, plus make students practice defensive covering until the split-second opportunity arises for them to return fire & counter.  (Punching, Elbows, Knees, Thai Kick, and Cover!!)

Testimonial

I was impressed, my first day of class, by the informal atmosphere. Everyone is introduced to the program at their own pace according to their abilities and background. There is lots of encouragement, not intimidation. The class time is well structured and makes good use of the time. The instructor uses a broad range of effective but basic and easy to learn techniques that a student puts into action much more quickly than “traditional” schools. My personal reasons for going to this school is that I can get a brisk workout (about as much or as little as I put into it) and learn a skill at the same time. There are no pressures to get to that next rank level. You’ll know if your skills are getting sharper without a new rank to show your friends. After a bad day at work, this is an excellent way to get out those frustrations and get a good nights sleep.
