This is a fun little drill that will get you good at pinning your opponents legs to scamper around them... but more importantly for our purposes, you will build snappy kick-throughs to slide into dominant positions.

This is a fun little drill that will get you good at pinning your opponents legs to scamper around them... but more importantly for our purposes, you will build snappy kick-throughs to slide into dominant positions.

Let’s start by warming up your legs for an explosive reap.

In a nice open space, take a step forward with your left foot and very slowly raise your right leg behind you as if you were reaping your opponents standing leg.  See if you can balance there for a second, and lift your right leg an inch or two higher.

Then, take a step forward with your right leg as you raise your left this time.  Continue walking like this, alternating legs, and each rep challenge your flexibility, and your ability to raise your “Reaping Leg” a little more.  I call this “Walking Reaps”.

Now continue to walk forward and reap but now add more of a forward bend to each reap, reaching toward the toes on your Standing Leg.  You will find that you challenge your hamstring flexibility on your Standing Leg while you do this.

Rest By Shadow Boxing for 3 FULL MINUTES

Don’t be afraid to get a little out of breath.

From this point, you will be executing Non-Stop Grim Reapers on the air, for multiple minute rounds.  Focus on your form, and on your balance.  Remember, you need to visualize and execute the FINISH of this move as well.

Now go do some ground fighting work in case the guy doesn’t give up after you destroy his foot ligaments.
