MMA Ground Fighting Begins (diary entry)

12.05.2023 Friday night's lesson brought the two brother clients up to the fifth hour of their MMA course. It was decided that we begin some work on ground-fighting. Tonight we mainly focused on using the guard to defend. I introduced the knee-shield and how to use it to deny an opponent striking range. We also brought in the combat get-up, prioritising escape from underneath, followed by a sweep by kicking out a kneeling opponent's knee and taking the back. This was all trained with varying degrees of resistance and also on the focus mitts. It was decided that the following lesson be more submission grappling oriented. https://clubbchimera.com/services/
