UMA Focus Mitt Grappling Drill

This is a great pattern for students to drill their transitions while launching functional strikes from a variety of positions –and finishing with a submission.  Practice & enjoy! Note: Eating a Thai Kick is obviously not preferred.  Make sure to zone away from the height of its power –its zenith!  In the street kick your round kicks below the waist so they *don’t* get wrapped.  The beginning of this pattern can be altered with a single leg takedown, a leg pick from the clinch, etc. The captured leg and duck-under position is the main reference point.

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.
