Stance and Motion- MMA Workout and Training

The most important foundational skill in the free-movement phase of combat is without doubt the ability to maintain a solid fighting stance while moving quickly and efficiently around, away from, and toward your opponent. Because little glamor is associated with this skill, people tend to overlook it and not practice it nearly enough. Poor stance and motion skills quickly become apparent when you begin to fight. Your opponent will have little difficult in striking you or taking you down when your stance and motion is flawed. Most people can hold a stance easily enough when asked to; this skill, however, is not enough. You must be able to hold stance while moving fluidly into attack and defense under the pressure of live combat- this ability is much more difficult to acquire, and it requires constant drilling and practice.
