MMA striking → takedown → ground and pound. One continuous high-speed flow drill built to work all areas of the fight.

The striking chain:
🥊 Cross → Jab
🦵 Switch Body Kick
💥 Spring back → Spring forward Cross
🦵 Reload big → Big Body Kick

From there, close the distance and transition into an outside-position spiral single-leg takedown. Establish knee-on-top position and finish with ground and pound before getting back up and continuing the flow.

The goal is to connect Striking, Grappling, takedowns, positioning, and ground and pound without stopping between phases.

Knife defense isn’t always about forcing one technique. You have to adapt to the resistance you’re getting.

From a Russian two-on-one control, we attempt the forward posture sweep. If they resist and pull back, that resistance creates the opportunity to change direction and use a hip-bump takedown.

It’s a push-pull relationship:

They push → you pull.
They pull → you push.

This weapons-based grappling concept works especially well in progressive pressure drills because you’re learning to react to your partner instead of forcing a predetermined technique.

One option out of many. Train the position, understand the energy, and learn to adapt.

Demonstrated with replica training equipment in a controlled environment.

Try this boxing and Muay Thai combination in your next heavy bag workout:

Jab → Cross → Hook → Slip → Roll → Cross → Hook → Low Kick

It combines fundamental boxing punches, head movement, and a Muay Thai low kick into one longer striking sequence.

A good way to practice longer combinations is to think of them in smaller 2–4 movement pieces:

Jab → Cross → Hook
Slip → Roll
Cross → Hook → Low Kick

Then put everything together and make it flow.

Try this combo on your bag and see how clean you can make all 9 movements.

Simple circuit. Hard work.

Throw 4 basic kickboxing combinations, then hit 10 sprawls. Get back up and repeat.

The challenge is keeping your striking clean, fast, and powerful while fatigue builds.

We sell houses and we don’t play around! 😏🥊

Last week, the O’Neal Real Estate team took training to the mats! We learned the basics of self defense from Shannon at @NomadMixedCombat. Because knowing how to protect yourself is always worth knowing.

Shannon has been coaching individuals who want to learn self-defense, protection, and preparedness for over a decade now. He makes learning easy and attainable for the everyday person who wants to get stronger and build confidence. And he makes it fun!

Our team worked hard and did it with a smile on our face, as always.

Smart. Strong. Prepared. 💪🏼

Good fighters don’t just throw combinations. They make their opponent react.

Hit hard enough that they respect what’s coming. Once they start reacting, you can use feints to create openings: sell low and attack high, or sell high and attack low.

We also break down X-blast hooks to the head and body, using an unpredictable X pattern to beat the cover, plus a simple body-shot counter: cover the body, then fire back with two uppercuts into a hook.

Learn to create reactions, exploit openings, and become a more dangerous fighter.

One detail in knife defense that could make all the difference: DON’T MISS THE RECOIL.

If someone is repeatedly trying to stab toward your face or neck, getting control once doesn’t mean the attack is over.

In this option, we use an overhook to control the attacking arm, track to the elbow as it recoils, then slide toward the wrist to maintain control. From there, we can transition to a snap down and look for an opportunity to disengage.

Will this work every time? No. Nothing will.

It’s one option. The bigger skill is learning to flow through your options and adapt to what the fight gives you.

There’s a reason eye gouges and groin strikes are illegal in combat sports.

They can create a powerful reaction. In self-defense, that momentary reaction may give you an opportunity to escape or capitalize by transitioning to another action.

In this combination, we work a finger flick toward the eyes → low-line groin kick → snap down → exit.

But here’s the important part: eye gouges, groin strikes, and other combative tactics cannot replace knowing how to fight.

They’re tools in the arsenal. Build solid Striking, Grappling, movement, control, and awareness first, then learn how these tools can fit into the bigger picture of self-defense.
