This Week at Kokoro: Focus on Ground and Pound
“Ground and Pound” – the distinctive Hallmark of Mixed Martial Arts. This element of the sport has evolved to become a true fusion of grappling and striking skill.
Our beginners at Kokoro Mixed Martial Arts have been focusing on development of effective Ground and Pound (GNP) attacks this week. We typically start our beginners off from inside the guard since this is arguably the most precarious of GNP positions and it allows our opponent a host of defensive and agressive options. Drills, drills and more drills ensure that our guys ‘n girls quickly develop a balanced approach to GNP from the guard. This, in turn, serves as a solid foundation for GNP skills from all other positions.
