I made a solo drills video of me doing 33 drills back to back all at once and it lasted about 7 minutes and it caught me off' guard because it has received a huge amount of positive feedback.

You can find that video on my YouTube channel if you are interested in seeing it.

Since it did so well, I decided to put together another solo  drills compilation video of 30 solo grappling drills but all of them are related to animal movements.

Guys, I had posted this video a while back just now decided to promote,

Everyone is talking about drills nowadays and I agree 100%.

Only sparring does not make you better makes you tough.

Imagine a marathoner running a marathon everyday...

A little mistake that a lot of BJJ practitioners make.

Lloyd Irvin breaks down his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Micro Transitional Drilling System. This is a must watch video for any coaches/competitors looking to raise the level of their game.

Thanks to our friend Jeff Joslin for making this video and Lockflow member Kyle A. Robinson for the find:

In this clip they show at what intensity to sparr for technical purposes. This type of sparring should be done almost everyday to get technique repetitions and movement patterns offense as well as defense.

Many of you have seen my free solo Drills video on YouTube, the one that has 33 Solo Grappling Drills in Just 7 Minutes and I'm grateful that it has received some great feedback.  If you haven't seen it, be sure to go to my YouTube channel and find it.

This is a basic muay thai conditioning drill, traditionally done after every workout and every exercise is done at about 50reps.

For beginners it usually is recommendet to do it like a circuit by doing 10 reps of each exercise and then work up to a total of 5 circuits, once that is possible 50 reps should not be a problem anymore.

Drilling is a super-important part of developing your overall game. This is a great serious to add into your warm up.
