Fundamentals for Fighting To be victorious in combat you must possess and balance three fundamental elements: Speed, Power, and, Sound techniques. Speed: Having the upper hand in speed means you can effectively create opportunities to strike and retreat before your opponent has a chance to react. Power: Having speed is not enough. What good is it to strike your opponent if it does not inflict any kind of damage? Sound Techniques: Sound Techniques include but are not limited too proper footwork, fluidity in body movements, accurate punching and kicking techniques. Now having established the understanding of the three fundamental elements, speed, power, and sound techniques, we can begin to analyze how these elements are prioritized. It does not matter how many different kind of kicking, punching, and throws you can do or defend. If it takes half a second too long for you to execute or react, your opponent will most likely strike you first. Similarly, if your attacks lack power, your opponent might simply brush you off and counter attack. If all your attacks or defenses are ineffective, you will tire out, or the opposition will overwhelm you, and you will lose. In many cases, knowing and applying complex and refined techniques is only useful against opponents who effectively execute similar techniques against you. Such techniques are otherwise unnecessary, especially if you are fighting an unskilled or lesser skilled opponent. In closing to be a complete fighter you need to have a balance of all the fighting fundamentals.

The ground Game. Position than submission. A mma fighter must understand the importance of positions. In fact, A familiar adage taught in white tiger mma is, “position before submission.” Although it has become quite cliché, the idea remains as relevant as ever. Before one can even attempt to apply a finishing hold, he must have complete control over His opponent’s position. This eliminates the chance that an opponent can escape and improves your chances of finishing the fight. It also develops an awareness of how to hold someone down with minimal effort. This is what is meant by positional dominance — the ability to control someone through proper technique and leverage. A MMA fighter must posses the ability to transition or “flow” between each position. This requires a solid understanding of the basic positions, the timing involved to execute each move, and sensitivity to the reactions of opponents counter movements. It’s also important to understand when to give up on a technique and move to another. Understanding the relationship of ground position allows the MMA fighter to develop comfort zones in each position. Constant training and drilling in both top and bottom positions facilitates confidence.

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. ___________________________________________________
