Introduction

This is a drill that I created for beginner’s (that advanced trainees also need to return to from time to time) to develop and maintain a clear understanding of the relationship between breathing patterns and basic movement in stand up fighting.

It’s a simple drill that will trigger a profound leap forward for beginners in understanding many of the aspects relating to survival fighting.

It will seem simple - it is - but don’t let this fool you. Practice it, return to it - it will pay huge dividends in your development and potential for resisting aggression.

The context presented here will have immediate use for static confrontation or interview threats as well as pre-emptive striking and receiving strikes.

These ideas can then be expanded upon and used throughout your training to increase smoothness, speed, efficiency and power while under threat and make you a better fighter.

When you have mastered the drill below, use the search function to look up a series of articles here on the Journal, using the term “fighting surface”. These ideas will plug in very neatly with this stuff for you.
