Duke Roufus Striking Formula 3.0:
Posture Under Pressure
Greetings from Roufusport MMA HQ in Milwaukee, WI USA!
In today’s new DRSU episode, “Posture Under Pressure,” Roufusport Striking Coach Scott Cushman teaches what to do when you’re in close range with your opponent. The farther you are from your opponent, the more freedom you have to open up offensively. However, as you close the distance, your guard must tighten, keeping your hands closer to your body because strikes will come at you faster.
At this range, it’s critical to widen your stance and use your legs like shock absorbers. This allows you to absorb incoming shots and immediately counter. If your base is too narrow, you’ll be easily pushed back or knocked off balance.
Mastering this posture not only keeps you safe under pressure, but also sets up explosive counters that can turn the tide of a fight in an instant. And as always, keep your defense at 100%.
In the second half of our segment you see fellow Roufusport teammates training, including some of our team’s top names. Watch and learn as the team puts what they were just taught into practice over several rounds of spirited, controlled sparring.
We hope you enjoy this new segment “Duke Roufus Striking University 3.0: Posture Under Pressure.” As Duke always says, make sure you’re “Having fun getting it done!”
Enjoy!
