Karate Style Striking for MMA

Key Concepts:

1 - Side on Stance - Presents less of a target for Opponent.

2 - Distance - Bouncing in & out of range to land strikes. Not staying in the pocket.

3 - Single power strikes rather than combinations.

4 - Clearing obstructions - Opponent will have hands up so you need to clear them before you have a target to strike.

5 - Changing Stance - Stepping through on strikes to increase power or landing in a favorable angle.
