I find this to be one of the best overall intros to striking for freefighting that is out there.
He is basically giving the fundamentals of Maurice Smith's (one of the highest level strikers to ever compete in mma) striking system as taught to him, with some greater adaptations for MMA.
In action
Highlights are the clock theory ("12:00"), descriptions of handparrying and counters, and footwork/combinations.
What I like about this is it is a great base, deeper than a pure 'boxing' framework so applicable to mma/self defence, yet broad enough to be integrated with any particularly style (in my case it integrates great with emphasis on close range combat and minus the Thai leg kicks )
So what are the thoughts from the Sherdog experts on the Shamrock/Mo Smith striking fundamentals system and any alternatives for 'best overall striking for freefighting training instructional'?
