Duke Roufus Striking Formula 3.0:
Defensive Footwork Fundamentals
Greetings from Roufusport MMA HQ in Milwaukee, WI USA!
In today’s new DRSU episode, “Defensive Footwork Fundamentals,” Roufusport Striking Coach Scott Cushman dives into the art of footwork that elevates your defense to the next level. Blocking a punch or kick is good, but without proper foot placement, you’re not grounded well enough to absorb the force effectively. Even if you block, you might still get knocked off balance or pushed into a vulnerable position if your feet aren’t where they need to be.
Coach Cush teaches with the right footwork, however, you’ll feel solid and immovable when defending, making your defense not just reactive, but unshakable. Proper foot placement ensures you’re always ready to counter or move safely, keeping you in control of every exchange. Remember, defense isn’t just about blocking – it’s about staying balanced, composed, and always 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: Defensive Footwork Fundamentals.” As Duke always says, make sure you’re “Having fun getting it done!”
