When I first introduced my client to Submission Grappling, the focus was on building a solid foundation. By the seventh hour of his training, we zeroed in on two critical positions: the full mount and the arm-bar submission. These techniques are essential for controlling an opponent and finishing a match, but mastering them requires understanding not just the holds themselves but the transitions and escapes that come with them.

Starting a boxing personal training course for children is an exciting journey that goes beyond throwing punches. When two young clients recently switched from grappling to boxing, their father and I agreed on a clear goal: build balance, movement, and defensive thinking before focusing on striking. This approach sets the stage for a smooth transition into kickboxing later on.
