Sprawl drill

Printer Friendly VersionThe sprawl drill is nice for developing the reaction and proper form for sprawling. In this picture sequence Seth is standing, Seth could also be jogging in place. Also the attacker is simply shooting left, forward to to the right, he could also do pumps and fakes to make it more challenging.
Step 1
Seth (on the left) faces Charlie (on the right). | Step 2
Charlie drops down, simulating a double leg shot. |
Step 3
Seth spawls, hitting his hips to the mat. | Step 4
They both return to the starting position. |
Step 5
Charlie changes angles, and shoots to the outside of Seth's left leg. | Step 6
Seth sprawls so that his left hip hits the mat; his right hip is raised upward so that all his weight is on his left side. |
Step 7
They return to the starting position. | Step 8
Charlie changes his angles and shoots low and to the outside of Seth's right leg. |
Step 9
Seth sprawls, hitting his right hip to the mat with his left hip elevated. | Step 10
The guys return to the starting position, Remember the shots should be done randomly, to develop the reflexes of your partner. The timing of each shot should vary, and you can add fakes and feints to make it more interesting. |

Doesn't take much to wear out, only to remind me how slow I can get. Getting racked didn't help much either.
Thanks for the drill Chaz.!!!

Once your technique for sprawling is solid this is an excellent drill. A method to make it more challenging is to have the person in charge merely calling out the shots. Another thing to do is get back up as quickly as possible. Doing that helps build endurance.
