Fightin’ Bigger Folks Week 12

Now if you've been paying attention...

You would notice that our side mount strategy involves having an attack for every single  position where you might find your opponent's "opposite side arm".  The following video will help you to build your series of attacks.

This little cluster of moves will add another method of finishing your opponent in side mount.

Now if your side mount moves aren't finishing the job...

and your hammer-fists aren't taking their toll, and if you don't feel like delivering endless knees to the guy's body... you can also finish him from Full Mount.

This position is starting to become a lost art... in part because it's not the easiest to master, or the "safest" to hold.

Now of course it's always a good idea to have a few different ways to take mount.

Just in case sliding your knee across the guy's belly isn't good enough for you, here's an additional way to take mount.

This next video is not about any one thing in particular, but it is about mount, and it contains some gnarly little bits of info.

This video will unlock a number of details which will make your mount oppressive, and show you several ways to end the fight from this position.

Switching gears a little bit... let's conclude our Side Mount series.

There's just one more place where your opponent's arm might end up, and if it's there you have some merciless options.  If his arm isn't there, you can frequently just put it there.

Every now and then, we come up with moves that are quite frankly, unstoppable. This move just happens to be easily thrown from a position where most people feel "safe".

So at this point, you can finish the guy from side mount in a multitude of fashions, and optionally you cant take mount to assault his head and body with a little more distance for your punches.

That said, if you've taken the Leg Lock route, you need to keep your eyes open for all Leg Locks at all times... and your pool of options grows by a virtually limitless stash of immediately grab-able fight finishes.

So... um... I guess that's it.

Except for this One. Final. Video.

Well geez... we've been hangin' out for so long at this point, it just wouldn't be right without some closing words.

Key Takeaways:

In the Realm of Footwork:

The ability for you to 'Freestyle' your movement is ridiculously important.

Sometimes do it 'in place'... without moving your feet.
Sometimes express yourself via lateral movement and angle changes in conjunction with your head movement.
Sometimes start slips and then abandon them.  Have a little fun with it.

Horse Stance

Is a great way to build strength and flexibility in your legs.  This will make it easy for you to drop down into your thighs to get underneath punches, without taxing your groin or hamstrings.

Your feet remain parallell
Pull your tailbone underneath you, trying to point your hypothetical D up at the ceiling
Sink down until it hurts... and stay there.

U Slip Plyometrics

...will use your downward force when 'landing' to trick your body into firing a more powerful counter movement on the way back up.  The more powerfully you fire your muscles, the more power you shall build.


When combined with Horse Stance, this is one of the best ways to make your U-Slips effortlessly powerful.

If the following doesn’t make sense to you, watch this video on Slipping to the Left on your Left vs Right Foot.

Straight Slips

On these slips, you will move only one of your feet.  You will bounce that foot immediately back to your stance.

Your will be transferred to the foot on the same side that your head is slipping.  So, if your is moving to the left, your weight will be transferred into the left foot.

50 Straight Slips, Head Moving To the Left, Stepping on your Left Foot and bouncing it back to your stance.

More Straight Slips

On the following slips, you will move BOTH of your feet, thus bringing your entire stance underneath you... instead of just bouncing the foot back to your stance.

If you are slipping to the LEFT, you will take a LEFT then RIGHT replacement step.  (Don't "Overdrag" your step.  Keep a nice wide base)!
