Sep 2014 Sparring Heavyweights Clips Part 1 of 4

In this series of of 4 clips we look at Sparring with Heavyweights.

Its much harder to deal with bigger guys in sparring, so you really need to have good body structure control.

In these clips we are only going light and just playing. But it gives a good idea if your timing and positional control is working or not.

I'm giving my opponent time time to think and time to attack. I am also using my body structure to show I can use it against a bigger stronger opponent.

In the first clip I lock up for a takedown but as the student I'm sparring doesn't know breakfalls and its not on a soft mat - I did not follow it though. So you get to see me just fall over haha

In Clip 3 I repeat the throw on an more advanced student to show what I was going to do in Clip 1. Its all live and not set up. So it shows the skill of setting up positions.
