This week’s focus will be on dirty boxing, which involves engaging in the clinch, executing close-quarter strikes, and leveraging the cage to one’s advantage while maintaining defense against potential submissions from the opponent. This strategy is particularly effective when one recognizes an advantage in wrestling ability; however, it is crucial to remain cautious of an opponent’s submission skills. Practitioners should prioritize maintaining control and delivering strikes while avoiding ground engagement. Continuous pressure through strikes and strategic footwork is essential. Prominent figures in dirty boxing include Randy Couture, Jens Pulver, and Chael Sonnen. Participants should dedicate time to study the three provided films.
