I thought it might be interesting to give a quick summary of what you practice, or love to practice most in your training.
Sundays, I get together with my girlfriend's brother. He's trained for five years in Paul Vunak's RAT (Rapid Assault Tactics) system. I thought I'd share what we do--looking forward to improvements, questions, and hearing what others do!
1. Get to the park, no warm up (to heck with that!)
2. Kali flow drills (fillipino stick fighting), from a good distance, moving forward till you're so close you drop your sticks and go into H2H trapping.
3. Destructions--the "feeder"/ attacker puts on boxing gloves and throws straight crosses, jabs, and eventually hooks, while the other person destroys the fist with elbow destructions, or, vs hooks, we've discovered it's best just to crash in like a wrestler and go into the clinch.
4. Anti-kicks--I like to try to intercept the kick as soon as I see it being cocked by kicking the attacker's kicking leg (ala ninjutsu). If the kick is too fast, I try to check it with my knee, but usually just end up jumping back and swatting it away.
5. Straight blast practice on pads after destructions (we don't have helmets, and I think that's insane anyway, so we just run at the kick pad). Then going into clinch--Headbutts, elbows, knees... and I am getting into grabbing the head and cranking it (gently) as a take down, or just dropping the clinch and going into a double leg takedown, finsihing with an ankle crank (sort of looks like putting his leg in a headlock, sorry I don't know the name).
6. BJJ--we go thru a very basic drill escaping the guard, going to side control, to the mount, then the bottom person bridges out and is now on top and goes through the drill, over and over, switching seamlessly.
7. Knife vs empty hand--very realistic, no big silly thrusts, but quick slashes. Defender turns his palms in, and basically tries to keep away, grabbing the attacking hand into an aikido-like take down or arm-bar if possible (we use a dull aluminum knife).
8. Anti-grabs--basic grabs and chokes, stuff a lug in a bar might try on you.
9. Go home, eat pizza, collapse.
Looking forward to hearing comments, and especially what other's focus on/ train on...
