Taking requests:

Well it's been three months. What group of techniques would you like to see to add to your arsenal?

Having problems with techniques?
Something new?
MMA or stand-up only?

Let's here the requests and I'll do them over the Thanksgiving vacation.

BTW This 15th will be 29years in formal training for me.

Takedowns against a stronger opponent. I train with a guy who is good at stand up and he's strong as an ox. I have a hard time taking him down ( like when I grab his waist, we're front-to-front, I pull his waist in, press with the side of my head on his chest to try to bend him back, but it won't work....he's too strong).

Omega, if I could get better on the takedowns against him, it would be cool. Can you help?

p.s. congrats on 29 years of MA.

Um, wouldn't that request go in the grappling section? I can do a takedown one but that's where I would put it.

i would be very interested in techniques to deal with with an opponent with reach advantage, and if you have any that work for those of us with noses that CAN be broken, that would be great.

if you have drills that help with learning those techniques, those would be appreciated as well.

My biggest problem is dealing with people who back away. If anyone can give me help it would be appreciated. Also reach advantage but that's so common.

Both these are duable in one video.

I'd appreciate if you could post some clinch drills, that part of my game is weak. Specifically, maybe a drill both getting and escaping MT clinches and using the MT clinch to deal with a Greco/MMA clinch.

Also, this isn't exactly unique, but I'd also love to see some new striking drills focusing on switching levels from kick -> punch and vice versa.

Drills for Big Old guys against faster, more mobile opponents.

Stand-up only Plz.

I already know face blox.

kthx.

You and me both :)

I'd also like some tips on keeping an opponent in the corner when you get them there and the best way to strike in that instance.

Thanks,
Bill

It's become a bit of an inside joke on the site, but doing a video about the details of "Bloxing with the face", would be interesting. Including in it the neck and jaw muscle strengthening exercises you've found to be helpful would be a plus.
