 Just finished up practice up here north location in Buford finish Kind of finish some of the leg defense stuff that I want to do But one thing we did today a spar a little bit more from that leg defense position I took some time to talk about some major points that the top guy should be looking for so we get in high level top Feel as well as getting getting those those leg clearing positions from bottom And we sparred a good bit Coaches if you're not if you're not sparring or your kids don't know how to spar a lot of times with younger guys with with more green kind of kids It's bar and tends to be frustrating from a coaching standpoint, but if you don't start investing in that time now to spar It's it's it's more like a checks and balances for drilling So when we drill a lot of times Kids will just kind of fall or get to the position that they know the guy that's drilling on will get to and there's no Feedback from them and there's no feel from them either. So Classic scenario be we're working on leg defense and we're working on pushing back and getting a strong position and clearing bottom leg And then getting hip separation But a key point is guy at clearing that top hand so that guy can't stay close to our hips and close to our back And a lot of guys are just kind of letting go and fall and letting the guy clear leg If you touch on some key points that the top guy needs to be focused on like Consistently secure in bottom hand or throwing in top side boot when the bottom side boot gets cleared out Or just adjusting in general And then having them spar it's more of a high-level feel in a controlled environment But it's keeping checks and balances on on what the bottom guy is doing if you just kind of Show a move and then let kids flop around They're not gonna get as better as good of a feel But also it makes it it makes the drill too sited, you know You don't if you have a two-hour practice and the top guy's just hanging on Checked out and the bottom guy is only focused on his position Then you get half a practice in so everybody walks away with one hour practice And and if you focus more on that purposeful work, which is give the guy the top guy an objective Whether you're sparring or whether you're drilling And it's tough to stay engaged for a lot of guys If they don't have an objective so giving them an objective and they're they're not being a knucklehead They're not they're not making the bottom guy be unsuccessful But what they are doing is keeping checks and balances and holding the bottom guy accountable In this leg defense position and that's both sides of the coin. That's neutral. That's that's any position you're drilling So finishing up leg defense this week Talked about double boots today talk about getting both knees to one side on double boots and then getting back to strong position Talked about if we get stuck on the wrong hip So if I'm on my left hip and the right leg's in fighting back to my right leg and get back to get back to that position So I can clear and then spart spart a good bit there and then just trouble shot You know let kid let kids get in there and make some mistakes and and and get to the wrong positions And then have them ask questions and be like oh well you ended up here because these three things happen Or you ended up here because we we we neglected to clear this area So it's it's good feedback for them while they're doing it. It's good feedback for the coaches while they're watching And as they engage and ask more questions It just it makes for a real good organic position, you know that you're working on it creates a good organic situation for you guys to troubleshoot and Tighten up those positions. So Gonna gonna really ramp it up next week. We're about Five weeks out for and change out from super 32 So next three weeks are gonna be tough gonna be a lot of output practices gonna be coming in and scrapping a Good bit and then we got super 32 prep camp with Dan Dennis coming in and that's gonna be a fun day That's September 21st. I think at the North gym. So more post-practice stuff and Guys leave some comments. Let me some feedback. I want these as much for me to get smarter and get y'alls feedback as it is for Just to let you guys know what's going on in our world. Appreciate it
