Great week back on the mats 👊 Good work across the fight team, adults and teens.
🥊 FIGHT TEAM — INTENSITY & INTENT
Being technical on the mats is one thing; bringing it into the cage with confidence and intent is another.
Mark finds another gear when someone lands something sharp — now it’s about switching it on himself. Sonny’s very technical, but needs to set the pace rather than settle into his opponent’s level. Sam’s got the grinder’s work rate; now we want that pressure backed by more intent to win and finish.
You can bring fighting intensity into training without hurting your partner. Purpose, pressure and controlled aggression.
🤼 ADULTS — MAT RETURNS & GUARD
We worked from the back body lock, bringing people down as they build up to their feet. Lifts, trips, leg traps, scoops and bumps — around 10–12 options.
Find three or four that suit you and chain them together. Everyone’s build and base are different. Whether they plant their feet, strip your hands or lean back into you, feel the reaction and find the next option.
Control first — get them down and keep them there to create opportunities to submit.
We also worked on tripod guard: three points of connection, controlling the hip, leg and heel, and feeling their balance before entering X-guard, De La Riva or Ashi. Great seeing those connections tightening up.
🙌 TEENS — BUILDING THE BASICS
Quieter with the holidays, but great work on open-guard connections, pins, holds, passing and getting into position. Those basics make a big difference.
