In my last article I showed you a great drill to improve your footwork and movement to help you be a lightning-quick mixed-martial artist. Got a lot of great feedback on the drill and I know a lot of people will be adding it into their arsenal of effective exercises. But there’s a lot more to ...…
As promised, here’s a drill that I use with my fighters to work on footwork, agility, balance and co-ordination. The term ‘quickness kills‘ definitely applies to MMA and any other combat sport.
