Striking with more conditions
Punches and kicks interact with the threat of takedowns. Explore distance, stance and guard through everything the other person can do, rather than a purely striking exchange.
Striking Mixed martial arts / private coaching
MMA. Connect the space between disciplines.
A good boxing stance may need to change when a takedown is possible. MMA asks you to make choices that remain useful as distance, position and permitted techniques change.

Train the transitions as well as the parts.
Mixed martial arts combines striking, wrestling, grappling and ground work. Connecting them is essential: how do you move from punches to a takedown, what happens after landing and when can you stand up again from the ground?
With a personal MMA trainer, explore the situation before a technique and the options after it. A solution gains meaning when you can connect it to an attack, defense or position change.
Ranges that affect each other
One exchange. Several worlds.
Wrestling and takedowns
Connect an entry with disrupting balance and establishing control. A takedown continues beyond the fall: your landing and first ground position determine how you can continue.
Ground work and the threat of strikes
Control, submissions and ground & pound influence one another. Work on postures where you can act, limit the other person's options and recognise space to change position.
Transitions and standing up
Connect ground and standing work. Where relevant, we also discuss wall or cage concepts, such as using support and creating space. The exercise format depends on your question and the available training context.
Boxing and BJJ, shown here as separate disciplines, provide individual elements. MMA training explores how those elements change each other.
Depth within the whole
Focus in without losing context.
A session can focus on one transition or a recurring position. The broader MMA context stays in view: a solution needs to account for what becomes possible next as well as answer the first action.
Want to explore the ground phase with strikes available in more depth? Grappling Ground & Pound offers that specialist focus on control and striking opportunities. MMA also keeps the connections with standing work and takedowns in view.
A personal training direction
Connect your experience into a workable whole.
The exercise starts with what you can already do and where a connection is missing. We agree resistance and contact to make the relevant decision visible, rather than fit as many techniques as possible into one round.
New to MMA
Build clear starting positions and simple transitions. If you already have boxing or BJJ experience, explore what changes when another discipline becomes part of the same exchange.
A problem in your system
Bring a familiar situation: your attack exposes a takedown, your landing does not produce control or you keep getting stuck underneath. We investigate the cause and turn it into a focused training question.

Which transition would you like to understand better?
Tell us what you train and where your options disappear. We can discuss how individual MMA coaching could address that question.
