Between Jun 27, 2017 and May 4, 2020, Kostas Fantaousakis joined the creative team of Bloodyelbow.com as a blogger/technique analyst.
He posted 90 articles on a mostly weekly basis in a series titled: "Combat Course: Lessons from the Cage"
Please keep in mind that the main focus of these posts was
to educate rather than entertain. These are not your usual
highlight reel knockouts or submissions. In this series, coaches, fighters and educated
fans who train in MMA or in the individual disciplines which comprise
mixed martial arts will be able to examine some effective and/or
alternative techniques which can be added to their arsenal.
These are techniques that can be
incorporated both in a training and a fighting situation. Of course
chance, fatigue or a bad day in a fighter’s life can influence the
successful application of a technique, but nevertheless, all techniques
examined in this series are based on solid concepts or fundamental
principles.
This is a great opportunity for students of the game to
appreciate diverse approaches to MMA fighting. This diversity of
fighting backgrounds, when applied in action against each-other, is what
makes our sport so exciting.
That said, here is Kostas' contribution to the library of MMA techniques and combinations available on Bloodyelbow.com:
