MMA Striking Foundations

Pure boxing has holes the moment kicks and takedowns are legal. Five lessons on the stance, the punches and the defensive habits that survive four-ounce gloves, a level change and a cage wall behind you.

What you will be able to do

  • Hold a stance that punches, checks and sprawls
  • Throw straight punches without exposing the neck
  • Read the difference between a punch and a level change
  • Defend the low kick without losing your base
