Basic Takedown Defense - Spinning on the Centerline
Combo: pad holder with focus mitts shoots in, defender Spins on Centerline, and then makes Right Uppercut/Left Hook (practice slowly at first, so the pad holder learns how to move and hold).
Ground - Trap and Roll
Ground - Side Elbow Escape
Drill: 3 people; defender on his back, the attacker makes a full mount; the defender must improve his position either through Trap and Roll or Side Elbow Escape (if he can get to half guard, that is good enough); the third person holds a pad AND COUNTS THE NUMBER OF SECONDS IT TAKES FOR THE DEFENDER TO SUCCEED; the defender then jumps up and must punch for that number of seconds, then drop down and repeat. Do several rounds. It can be brutal.
