One training method in which I am a strong believer is handicap sparring, whereby you improve one area of your skill set by isolating it. In this case, striking versus grappling. The striker (with boxing gloves) is allowed to use any strike in his arsenal, and the grappler can use any takedown, submission, or choke he wants. Years ago I did a similar drill called "Snake vs. Crane" which may sound familiar to some of my USSD readers. Basically one person is on the ground in the ground defense position and the other is standing (with the kids we sometimes had the standing person stand on one leg).
I strongly encourage Traditional stylists to begin inluding such sparring drills in there lessons.
Not sure who these two jokers are, but it's a good example of the idea of handicap sparring. Enjoy, discuss and comment.
