I can only speak for myself here. When I do body conditioning I tend to condition the hammerfist using the makiwara or a medicine ball. The hammerfist is a more natural strike for me in my toolkit so I’m conditioning that part of the hand with this strike.

Mike. I sent out a request to our instructors in your area. In the meantime if you have any training questions at all I would be happy to assist.

I checked aswell. Ridiculous!

This is awesome. Bring training into your own home on your own schedule. Don’t fight traffic. Learn at your own pace. This will revolutionize the SD industry.

I have been putting together ideas for many pad drills with focus mitts, Thai pads etc that will go well with our modules. These drills will be solo pad as well as partner pad drills. Stay tuned.

In the meantime I recommend taking the strikes from module two and starting to put your own flow together on what comes out naturally. Work…[Read more]
