Team FAST 8 24 09 (9)
A random clip from workout at Team FAST in Norton, Virginia from Monday, 8-24-09. Here Colin and Grant lightly spar using MMA gloves. Grant is younger and smaller but I am encouraging him to be more aggressive. Bruce Lee stressed the importance of "forward pressure" and Joe Lewis talked about not letting your opponent get set -- constantly moving and firing off left jabs and left kicks to disrupt your opponent's rhythm. Too often Grant lets Colin dictate the rhythm and pace. He needs to gain Colin's respect by throwing some leather in his face occasionally. Combat is as much psychological as it is physical.
