Sep 2014 Sparring Heavyweights Clips 3 of 4

Clip 3 In this Clip I spar with Dale. He is a big guy has very good counter punches and a better reach. Plus being one of my advanced students he has great structure. Which makes it hard to move him. So its important to bridge in and get in close. Sometimes you have to take a few hits to get in with a good opponent. The key is to take out your opponents control of range. As we are just playing in these clips we end up clinching where I work on a takedown.  Once I take him down you can see can see you can control a bigger opponent easier when they can not move as much - that's if you know how to pin.
