Student Testimonials

“I make going to Titan Fitness part of my weekly routine because the
workouts are awesome and the atmosphere keeps me energized and wanting to
come back for more.”
‹Emma Vautour

“I signed up for MMA to have fun, but found that the lessons learned in
class now carry over into my life. Not only have I become more physically
fit, but I have also found that the discipline and respect taught on the
mats make me a better college student and a better person.”
‹Derek Janssen

“Prior to training with Mr. Lombard, I had a hard time motivating myself to
stay in shape. But the enjoyment I get from my martial arts training has
made it impossible to stay away.” 
‹Shawn Slater

“Martial Arts training is about more than fighting. Mr. Lombard is very
knowledgeable and capable of training individuals in anything from Thai
boxing, to MMA, to Submission Grappling. Even if you are not looking to
compete, I have found that martial arts training offers excellent health
benefits, like fitness and stress relief.”
‹Shawn Slater

“Kickboxing has not only helped me physically, but has also boosted my self
confidence. It is tough, and when I feel like quitting I look back at what
I have accomplished up to this point and wonder how much more I can condition
my body by sticking with it.”
‹Sobrina Wolff

“I never was a physically active person but now I find myself making sure I
fit kickboxing in my schedule between work and school. It is like having a
personal trainer. Bruce is there to motivate and push me to learn the
techniques. I leave with a sense of accomplishment.”

intense and keeps me in great shape. But I am not just working out. I am also
learning to defend myself, and making great friends.”

“I began attending Titan Fitness almost three years ago.  I began as a
student with no prior martial arts knowledge whatsoever.  I weighed about

after having a baby.  I now weigh in at about 125 lbs and am in the best
shape I have ever been.”
‹Allison Glenny

I have made through the efforts of my teachers and my training partners. Not

my closest friends.”

Leg Attacks

• Video Courtesy of 2-time Light-Heavyweight World Shooto Champion, Erik Paulson.

 

Overview - My opinion is that all serious grapplers and fighters should develop a leg attack game.  It is important to have that diversity in your game, and not just focusing on arm and choke submissions.  When an opponent has to be concerned about not only defending his arms and neck, but also his legs, it opens up many more opportunities for you.  Leg attacks are available at every position whether top or bottom.  Sometimes a failed attempt at a leg lock can put you in a bad position, which makes some leg attack submissions a high risk transition.  But if one trains them enough and they work consistently on your training partners, the attacks can become high percentage attempts.  Frank Mir and Erik Paulson are two World Champion MMA fighters who have made leg locks a part of their success.

 

Knee Bar Tips -

• Use your pelvic bone or your athletic cup as a fulcrum on your opponents knee joint. 
•  Your knees should be bent at about a 90′ angle. 
•  Your feet are to be positioned parallel to each other, crossed, or figure 4 your legs. 
• Hand position, two hands cup opponents heel, hug his lower leg(bow tie), Figure 4 your arms(like a rear naked choke). 
• Opponent leg should be between your head and the ground. 
• If leg above your head, weave your top arm under his leg and push his leg away from your body with your elbow/triceps.
• Squeeze your knees.
• Hips forward.  Wait for the tap, snap, or squeal!!

 Heel Hook Tips -

• Keep opponent knee bent, can not finish if leg is straight. 
• Squeeze your own knees around his leg. 
• Use your radial bone to hook under opponent’s heel. 
• Apply a clap hands grip, chain link grip, figure 4 grip, or two hands on heel to control foot. 
• Roll to side away from captured leg and put your shoulder to the ground

Figure 4 Toe Hold tips -

• Grip high on opponent foot near toes. 
• Cup and grip outside of foot with all five fingers. 
• Squeeze down on toes. 
• Figure 4 hand to wrist( free hand grabs your other wrist). 
•  Crank foot inward with a mindset you would want to put opponent’s toes in his own butt.

Achilles Lock Tips -

• Keep opponents leg bent. 
• Overhook opponents ankle with your arm so your radial bone is across their achilles tendon. 
• Marry your hands together with either a: cup and saucer grip, chain link grip, clap hands grip, or a figure 4 grip.
• Make sure opponent’s foot is wedged into your arm pit. 
• Lean back on their foot as this helps weaken their tendon. 
• Squeeze knees together around trapped leg, lift grip to high of  your chest, lean back and arch.
