Drill: Uppercut & Hook

I received another newsletter from Iain Abernethy about Extreme Impact training, and there was a YouTube link.

He is holding two focus mitts, and his partner Steve first first strikes hard against them, but then Iain turns away to force his partner to circle around to deliver another uppercut-hook combo.

There's an explanation of the why of Extreme Impact at .45, then of the drill at 3:10. The drill is demonstrated and it looks demanding on the cardio.

pure fitness footwork element.

If you combine the footwork with throwing the shots as in fight then you'll be working on sitting down on your shots in between moving.

Which is usefull when you face a fighter and need to counter punch with power to gain respect and prevent the attacker from walking through your shots.
