Striking Development Lesson  – 10min:

  • Basic Footwork: Foot Positioning (Don Madge)

 

  • Enter the clinch from a punch combo and knee  (Duane Ludwig)
    • Different to video:
      • Duane Ludwig uses a very different number system for striking combos, I use the name of the strike (i.e. Jab, Cross Hook)
      • In the system on the video the fighter enters the clinch using the last punch in the combo, I use the opposite hand to enter the clinch (i.e. Jab, Cross, Hook, Clinch which means the fighter throws  a jab, Cross, Hook, and enters the clinch using there right hand after they have thrown the left hook).
    • Essential Detail: Throw the opposite knee to the first hand that enters the clinch
      • i.e. Jab, Cross, Hook, Clinch which means you are clinching with your right hand first, so you throw you left knee first.
    • Most Common Mistake: Not moving your feet when you reach for the clinch, you must step both feet forward the you enter the clinch.
    • Safety Tip: Make sure to hold the pads correctly tight to the body
    • Drill Orders: Practice entering the clinch and throwing the knees, then add combos to the start
