SIMON MORRELL

Highlights From Our Online Program. In this first free clip taken from our Combat & Fearless Online Academy, Simon & Luka demonstrate defences against a punch, kick and knife strike.

Simon Morrell's Fitness Pyramid. If you want to get fit to fight, truly fit, then there are five fitness levels that need to be addressed. For example, if you plan ten 2-minute rounds of sparring, then it isn't rocket science to know you must be able to breathe correctly for that twenty minutes, which would fall under Aerobic, the first level of the pyramid. If we can't get that right, we have very little chance of improving the other four levels.

Simon Hits, Two Simple Takedowns. In this, Simon Hits! Simon teaches two simple takedowns from a grab and a right cross. Remember to practice at a sensible speed, only moving to full drill mode when you are completely confident in your skill set.

In this free Simon Hits! episode, Simon shows how to build a nice Kickboxing pad combo using the pyramid build up method.

Brand New Downloads Now Available. Simon Hits Pro Episodes One & Two are now available to rent or buy from our Online Academy.

How to Self-Motivate. Training partners, business associates, or any third party really, can and will at some point let us down. If that is the case, it is easy to go back to the house, pour a glass of wine and put on a film. Trust me, that is not how we get our Black Belt, win our fight or make that business work.

Some words on training, fears and moving forwards.

Grappling Drills at Fight Fortress. One of the toughest things I have done in my Martial Arts/Combat journey was, at the behest of Geoff Thompson, add Grappling to my toolbox.

Barrel Carriers or Teamakers? Last week, I was teaching a class and explaining about Barrel Carriers and Teamakers. It was about an incident that occurred in a local pub where Julie and I were enjoying our usual date night. Just the two of us, cold drinks and a meal. On the next table, it was clear that the two guys occupying it had started early, not just the drink. One in particular was loud, aggressive, and, not to put too fine a point on it, a pratt.
