Very intelligent approach.
Both of the brothers are very smart fighters, so it should be no surprise that their approach to sparring is equally intelligent. I've seen many new students get tossed haphazardly into the mix at gyms that spar hard. It turns many people off to training and adds unnecessary risk of injury. This is a much more progressive and focused approach to improving, without getting your brain knocked around too much in the process. Very good.
Top Notch!
The Karate style used by the Machidas (and guys like Conor Mcgreggor, Michael Venom Page, Stephen Thompson) is super technical and so hard to fight against. There's no better source than this series by the Machida bothers.
Great intro to MMA Karate sparring
Another hit from the Machidas. Helps ease the student into sparring safely and comfortably
Functional sparring system
Well structured with concepts and drills in Machida Karate style with progressive steps. Appreciated the section on ground and against the wall.
