Mission Statment WHITE Tiger MMA program .
Tactical positioning both upright and on the ground. Elusive Mobility: Light, shifty footwork and body maneuvering to bridge the gap for explosive attacks and providing a difficult target to hit or grip. Emphasis on attack. Totality: Fluid integration of striking and grappling techniques. No stylized partiality as to one method over another. All ways and means are employed to engage the opposition. No rigid, passive defenses. Subtle parries and evasions rather than hard blocks. Efficient techniques based on simplicity and economy of motion. There are no wasted, complicated movements. Low-level kicks (below the waist). High kicks expend more energy and jeopardize balance. Penetrating strikes: Hit through the target, not just at it. Fights sometimes end on the ground, ALL start upright! With this in mind, one must be able to effectively defend and attack with strikes and submission skills. Adaptability: The ability to instantly adjust to all possible angles, ranges, and circumstances encountered in combat. The use of leverage and body force in all striking and grappling techniques rather than mere arm or leg strength. No "fixed" forms. Applicability as opposed to memorized response. Productive learning is spontaneous and requires complete freedom of expression!! No formality or rituals. A salutation is used at the start and end of class, or prior to sparring. Use of specialized equipment to promote the striking tools. Realistic interactive drills including ground grappling and sparring with contact to closely simulate actual combat conditions. ___________________________________________________
