Scrap, I read where you attach elastic to the lead arm and rear foot for'some drills. Do these type of drills constitute most of your strength and conditioning workouts for combat athletes?

I work on the concept of Feel, thats the only thing the CNC understands or adapts too. If the Feel is wrong so is the action that follows. Something Ive said before. Which has the Better response from the CNC the Slap or the Tickle, understand that you are Half way there. Plus the younger you are getting it right everything in your concuoisness adapts. Dont mend Men Make a Better Boy.

Do you find the same thing with injury prevention? It seems like some guys just plow ahead in training withhout "listening" to their intuition. What have you discovered in this area? With conditioning it's a tough road. Thanks so much for your knowledge.

Ive found over the years, that Body maintainance is the single most important thing there is. Stops compensation of other areas and joints, gives better posture, to the Head for Balance. Gives the Body Stability in its Biomechanics and adaptability and a progression to Do. Giving you less chance of becoming injured.

I have noticed you talk a lot about oral stability, and head posture. It's interesting that so many trainers keep teaching to "tuck the chin" when biomechanically it feels like poor position. How do you train your fighters to maintain good defense, and not get in the habit of poor chin placement? Thanks again.

Basically we work at it. Ive never seen a Great Fghter Fight with His chin on His Chest Plate that gives you a clue. Show me a Fighter that does Ill show you a Fighter waiting to get Hit
