Today’s lesson was focused on developing muscle memory at all ranges. We began with a footwork warm-up exercise. Both students mirrored each other's footwork and prompted each other to sprawl. We then moved further up onto some Greco-Roman bulling and grip-fighting. We then practiced overhook/underhook pummelling and did some clinch training, working the v-step on its own, with sweeps and then with knee strikes. Next we drilled arm-drag entries as a flow drill with blocks and with a double-leg takedown contingency. This linked us to the ground drill, where we worked on taking the back from butterfly guard. The muscle memory/response section was concluded with repetitions of triangle chokes, oma plata (shoulder locks) and arm bars.

We then moved onto the stand-up range, working four kickboxing combinations, based around the jab/cross/hook/cross This was followed by a couple of rounds of MMA sparring and then some specific solo exercises, shadow boxing warm-down and some static stretching
