28.02.2022 My client couple's second lesson looked at strategies on accessing the clinch from the stand-up range. I went through the drills covered in last week's special lesson for Athena School of Karate. This began with footwork exercises to corner off and escape from corners using footwork only. Then we brought in the use of high guards and some aspects of the cover. In MMA guards need to be even more active than they are in boxing. This is because the hands have to deflect a wider area due to the gloves being much smaller. Then we looked at slipping. I brought this onto defensive pad-work, also bringing in shoulder and knee bumps. The lesson changed pace with a discussion on how the dynamics of self-defence are different to all consensual fighting. https://clubbchimera.com/services/
