Fight Club

The study of how to move tension (a grab in this case) with effort (my strength) or relaxation somewhere else that has an effect on the grab. This is not a technique it’s a feeling and awareness upon contact. The mind is not involved as much as the body. Emmanuel Manolakakis FightClub

Knowing your distance is the foundation of martial arts. Too close and you lose structure; too far and you lose opportunity. Mastering range teaches timing, control, and awareness, allowing technique to flow naturally while conserving energy and maintaining safety for everyone Emmanuel Manolakakis FightClub

Impact as a feeling. Transferring that feeling into a positive expression of martial arts. Impact should grow your fighting spirit, not worry it.

Allow your partner to touch(push your face). This concept might seem unorthodox at first but getting punched in the face happens in real life once in a while. 🤣 so embrace it. Then be able to ‘work’, survive and prevail.

Reflections and thoughts about training

Strikes towards the stomach. The meaning and intention care the weight and result

Agree with the fall

Finding relaxation as you get ‘lit up’. Emmanuel demonstrates how he prepares students to control there minds and nerves under pressure

Measure your efforts when training

Embrace contact of all kinds. Allow the body to take the shape it feels best taking and try to work from that point.
