Learning Mixed Martial Arts, Muay Thai and Self Defense - Considerations When Bridging the Gap.The most crucial phase of a fight whether Mixed Martial (MMA), Muay Thai or self defense is moving from the out of range distance to where we engage the opponent whether offensively or defensively commonly known as "Bridging the Gap". Many martial artists train lots of tecniques but then when they try to use them in a real full contact fight such as mixed martial arts or Muay Thai they cannot get in to use them because the opponent beats them to the punch. This is even more crucial in the street fight as here there is no referee. This article discusses several tactics that will enhance both the understanding and development of this crucial transitional phase in your fight game plan whether learning mixed martial arts, Muay Thai fighting or preparing for self defense.Dr Geoff Aitken, Ph.D. is a coach of Mixed Martial Arts, Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu former kick boxing champion with over 34 years of experience in martial arts and 15 years as a bouncer.
