Hour nine of my client’s Mixed Martial Arts course continued our problem solving approach to sparring. We ended up focusing on the clinch, first from the wall and then in general. I placed an especial emphasis on landing and defending knees due it being an area that was lacking in my client’s arsenal. His Wrestling is very strong but he is fairly reluctant to throw knees due to the takedown risk whilst also prone to receive them.
