3 week fight camp

[right hand lead]

Haven’t done this in a while, and felt like doing this lol.

December 6th my fighter Patrik White (7-0) is fighting another undefeated fighter (4-0). My guy is a longer limbed striker and his opponent is a 5’8 wrestler/grappler. Obviously our gameplan is to keep it standing and score a KO

November 15th
2 rounds of shadowboxing to warmup

30 mins of drilling wearing the 6-8oz safety training mma gloves.
- Our focusing was on staying long behind straight punches while his partner would throw a big overhand, left hook, or look to shoot to clinch.

3x 7 min rounds on the thai pads
- incorporating sprawls and every once in a while during the round shooting for a takedown and having Patrik stuff it

finished the day with 50 pushups and 50 pullups

November 17th
Sundays are usually our most chill team practice where we usually get lots of rounds sparring with the safety gloves and shin pads on. Super light and technical

I gave they boys 15 mins to warmup however they liked

Sparring partners were Carlton Minus (9-1) Niall Atkinson (6-0) and David Booker (5-5)

First round was a 15 min round with a fresh guy every 3 mins

Second round was a 9 min round, same thing switching partners every 3 mins.

Patrik’s cardio is already on point I feel. He’s looking good in sparring and seems already ready to go

HARD spar day
This was rough, def the last super hard spar. Full kickboxing 16oz gloves and shinpads. (6x 6 min rounds) Room full of killers today

 

[right hand lead]

November 22nd
2 rounds shadowboxing
About 25-30 mins of situational spars/drills with Carlton Minus (returning kicks and framing)
Row machine/padwork circuit
200 reps of abs

Worked alot on blocking kicks and right away returning with punches. It was something I feel had to be worked after the hard sparring the night before.

 

[Italianissimo]

I believe sparringg and general work should be timed on 5 minutes, since the fight is 5 min's per round. My 2 cents

Do you like to share different ideas or is this just a diktakt on how to prepare fighters in the best way?
If so, I understand why nobody if not me is replying to your thread.

Pat no showed practice last night.... was supposed to be no gi jits followed by 4-5 rounds of sparring with 16ozs and shin pads. He really picked a bad day to skip (took a nap and never woke up).

its a familiar scenario ive been hearing from other coaches and not just in my state. These young men lack discipline. Pat is an undefeated 7-0 prospect with 7 KOs fighting another undefeated cat who is 4-0 and I KNOW has been training bis butt off to fight Pat

What's your rational behind sparring and circuit round times?

What's your rational behind sparring and circuit round times?

As far as the circuit training times, they are a bit random usually, but i try to make the round times around 5 minutes. As far as the sparring goes, if i take my guys to another gym we go by their rules/guidelines. As far as the days where the rounds are long, those spar sessions are super light and my guys dont even get tired at all. Ive had much success with those spar days! (I think i might have stole the idea from Floyd Mayweather lol)

the days i dont post the round times are 5 min rounds
