PART THREE
The final five finishes in our triple-edition-spanning flow drill
The third and final part of our massive flow drill, mapping an astonishing 12 fight finishes in one sequence of moves, has arrived. Over the past two issues (available via back order if you missed out) you’ve discovered how to improve your submission fluency. Those who’ve kept with us for the previous two issues might notice a change in training partner and location for these shots. Don’t be alarmed, ultimately the content and conclusion are as they were intended from the outset.
