Yeah, not a fan of that flip flop focus pad work that has got popular over the last few years. Always thought it to be more beneficial to chase the pad holder down work for the shot, getting in and out of position. The old heavy bags and Bob's have been blood handy theses past few months tho! ATB

Big fan of Fairbairn influenced martial arts. Fairbairn learnt internal Chinese martial arts in Shanghai when they are taught as self defense, something rare these days. Good point on factoring opponents instinctive reactions into combinations practice. Reminds me of the "secret Scottish 1-3 combination" .... "1-3? what happened to 2?" "oh your opponent gets that one". Regarding pads vs heavy bag it's a question of balance and what you are training for...self defense requires more heavy bag and pad work with short combos incorporating simulated target reactions as you suggest. Even if you can do a 15 strike combo...that's not the purpose of self defense ..the purpose of self defense is to eliminate the threat and escape as quickly as possible. Self defense training also needs a degree of reactance. If you're hitting hard enough to hurt your opponent, you're hitting hard enough to hurt yourself. Heavy bag work trains your body to deal with the energy that is transferred back into you from the strike. If you're not hitting hard enough to hurt your opponent you have to question what you are doing? Not all strikes need to be power strikes, but the purpose of the strikes needs to be clearly understood and drilled accordingly.

Like your style and appreciate all the work you do on this, but wonder if going straight for a grab behind the head and, a pull or push to put off balance and then series of blows - whatever works, hammerfrists, crosses, etc. Taking opponent off balance in my estimation is always key to stopping them fighting back. Might be wrong, but give it a go and report back.

Oh off balancing is great. I think I have a video on here about the power of Kazushi and making sure people are off balance 👍👍

I dislike focus pads as they are often held up on both sides of the holders head which would be the real target, that leaving me to punching cross body left and right. I much prefer light sparing with a person than working on mitts for 3 mins then switching up so my partner can have a one sided fight for another 3 mins. There is also an unnatural pause with focus mitts as you wait for the guy to move them around, that pause may be partial seconds but that is still a pause you don't get in sparing.

Kinda like chess... no point in thinking 5 moves ahead. The amount of variables thinking that far ahead is just too much. For the most part probably about 3 moves is usually enough to give you the edge and the ability to comprehend and play it out. Providing you’re not playing a grand master
