MMA Training - BJJ Submission Video

So equally as important as being fit is to have good technical skills. We have been working with my friend Ari from www.Submissions101.com and he has created several of the top submission videos...in fact I think he is sitting around #23 on youtube.

So as a little bonus and in between fitness videos I will include some of Ari's submission videos.

Now imagine yourself as the lethal combination of a fit athlete with killer technique.

This one's called Meat Hook to Triangle and brought to by www.MMAFitnessTraining.com

MMA Training - Critical Decision Making

Did you know that you can actually control how your opponent makes decisions? It's almost like creating a scene from Matrix when you get good at the process.

It is a thought process derived from the explanations in the 1960's on how fighter pilots could defeat their opponents.

The same principles apply today to a variety of situations including MMA Training, SWAT Training and this model has even been adopted by big business to get out in front of their competition.

What is the model?

It is Observation, Orientation, Decide and Act or the OODA Loop.

This decision making process is the same for all humans when faced with a critical decision.

The basic principle is that you can teach yourself to move through the loop faster than your opponent and actually introduce actions that cause your opponent to move slower through their process thus allowing you to defeat them.

Obviously, there is a more complex explanation for each of the components of the model but that is just a taste of what we teach our students, whether they are headed into a match or headed into combat.
