Grounding

How do you practice grounding? Okay, first of all, what is grounding?

Grounding is being able to stand firmly in the face of challenge. For tonight we made that challenge trying to punch the pads while someone pushes your from behind. If you haven’t tried it before, it is super fun. It’s also very annoying but in a charming sort of way.

What makes drills like this so valuable is that they are dynamic. You have to constantly adapt to the pressure that your pushing partner is putting on you. And the amazing part is when you get a chance to punch the pads with no one pushing you, you will feel solid as a rock.
