UMA Stick Sparring


Finishing Moves from Stick-Clinch

In this Escrima class, we began with 4 different finishing moves that are all accessible from the reference point of the clinch.


UMA Drilling 3×3 Minute Rounds

Three-person group.  Roles:   Striker, Thai pad holder, Grappler. Each person takes a turn being the striker: punches 30 sec, grapples 30 sec,  skip knees 30 sec, grapples 30 sec, Thai kick (twice each leg) 30 sec, grapples 30 sec. Finale: 10 push-ups. Roles rotate:  The striker becomes the pad holder, the Thai pad holder becomes the grappler, and the grappler becomes the striker. Drill continues for a total of three 3-minute rounds so that all participants get a turn being the striker.
No conserving.  As a result, the striker gets constant work for 1 full round.
(Note: This video demonstrates the only first time through.  Two more times follow.)


What gear do you need to get started at UMA?

To begin at UMA you need to have hand protection — either 16 or 20 ounce boxing gloves or inexpensive cloth hand wraps. When sparring and grappling, males must use a groin protector! To free-spar: mouth guard.
The rest of the gear is optional if you want to participate in the weapons class and/or advanced sparring. To stick-spar in the weapons class: one 28″ ActionFlex safety stick, headgear w/ face guard, hockey or lacrosse style gloves. For higher levels of sparring: both partners need to own heavy-duty shin guards & headgear.

UMA Training Methodology

Our training methodology:  Basics – Drills – Sparring


3-Part Counter Punch & Counter Kick Drill

One of our routine exercises in preparation for sparring.


The “One Minute Drill” with Thai Paids: Sixty Seconds of Survival!

The infamous 1-minute drill routinely practiced at Unbridled Martial Arts. Sixty seconds of Survival!!  As explained in the video, the essentials of this drill are to: 1.) constantly feel & apply pressure, 2.) occupy the center-line, 3.) weather the storm, 4.) get that opponent back-pedaling (primary objective).
I call out which techniques to fire within the range of kicking, punching, and close quarters, plus make students practice defensive covering until the split-second opportunity arises for them to return fire & counter.  (Punching, Elbows, Knees, Thai Kick, and Cover!!)


The “One Minute Drill” with Focus Mitts

Punching, elbows, knees, and kick + weathering the storm via covering.


UMA Focus Mitt Grappling Drill

This is a great pattern for students to drill their transitions while launching functional strikes from a variety of positions –and finishing with a submission.  Practice & enjoy! Note: Eating a Thai Kick is obviously not preferred.  Make sure to zone away from the height of its power –its zenith!  In the street kick your round kicks below the waist so they *don’t* get wrapped.  The beginning of this pattern can be altered with a single leg takedown, a leg pick from the clinch, etc. The captured leg and duck-under position is the main reference point.

Testimonial

Before I went to Rob’s classes I was doing Shito-Ryu (karate) for about 8 years. It was a very formal class and not much fun. I joined Rob’s class because I knew him and wanted to try something different. Rob’s classes help you out in a lot of real life situations. They are fun and Rob’s school has a more relaxed environment. The things that I like best is the mat work that teaches you submissions and how to take someone to the ground. All of the instructions that Rob gives in class are very clear and easy to do. The classes don’t go too fast so you are able to keep up with everyone else and not get confused. The classes aren’t formal like a lot of other places that make you wear a uniform, bow or have a certain rank in the class. After each class you feel like you have just had a good workout so you’re not too tired to do other things (compared to) when other places leave you extremely worn out. Overall Rob’s classes are fun, useful, and not confusing.
