This Week at Kokoro: Focus on Standup
Smash and Blast is a simple and effective striking strategy – based on techniques from Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai and Kyokushin Karate – it’s tailor made for MMA. This week and next, the fundamentals sessions are focusing intensively on standup drills.
Getting to know the drills, that will in turn give us the skills to standup and fight with confidence, is the name of the game this week. Watching the lads work – it’s hard to be believe that some of these guys have been training for just four or five weeks!

Funniest email received this week (quote): “There’s nothing like a jab in the face to remind you to keep your hands up at all times!” Hehhah.
Especially when sparring with you my good friend!Unfortunately I experienced this last week.Thanks for the reminder shane!!!!!
Ah you loved it! You’re a big boy and be honest – a little bit of accidental claret left you feeling like a real man. If only for a second!
haha!there’s a BIG difference between being a big boy and taking ‘an over the top’ from you buddy.I loved it!!!!
Please never use the phrases; “loved it”, “over the top from you” and “big boy” in the same context, ever, ever again!
And it was a jab!
