Drills for the Top Position- MMA Training and Fighting in Illinois and Indiana

Live drills are the best way to develop the skills and attributes that make you a proficient fighter in any proficient combat.

Positional Drills
We looked at a series of positional drills where you and your partner begin in the basic ground-grappling positions and work front here. The very same drills can also be used from the top man's perspective. Start in any of the dominant pins we have looked at. From the top position, look to either maintain and further improve your position or submit your opponent as your partner attempts to escape the pin. When any of these goal are accomplished, stop and start the drill again.

Repetitive Guard- Passing Drill
Start in your partner's closed guard. You attempt to pass the guard into either the side-control, knee-on-belly, or mounted position. Your partner attempts either to apply submission holds, to perform sweeps, to stand up, or to get to his knees. If any of these goals are accomplished, stop and start the drill again.
