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 really enjoy training at Unbridled Martial Arts. The atmosphere is relaxed but also fast paced. We are always doing something new in class, which keeps things fresh and exciting. After class there are always new techniques or variations to reflect upon. In six months of training, I have seen my ground fighting skills improve significantly. I have also noticed a marked improvement in my core strength and flexibility. I feel confident that I am a more rounded martial artist from training at UMA. I would recommend this school to any beginner who is looking to test the waters of self defense and martial arts, and also to more experienced students looking to expand their horizons or cross train. The non-traditional atmosphere is not intimidating to beginners, and is often refreshing to martial artists from traditional schools. The low monthly tuition and lack of contract is a huge incentive to join for a month and see if you like it. The things I like best about UMA are that the class is informal, we train hard, everyone is improving, we have fun training together, and I have made some new friends.
