Camp Prep ReportWhat to drill this week

Prep for camp: Marcio Corleta

  • Prefers the closed guard as a primary attacking hub to sweep or submit
  • Forces immediate ground engagements to bypass striking vulnerabilities
Training Recommendations
Drill these specific looks
  • Drill reactive sprawls — bait the shot off your right hand
  • Force a high-pace round 1 — break the gas tank early
  • Set the overhand trap — chin has cracked under clean shots
  • Posture and frame drills off bottom — never give up the back
  • Mix unscripted looks in sparring — they thrive on patterns
Sparring Recommendations
Stack these styles in camp
  • Southpaw pressure striker
  • Chain-wrestling D1 partner
  • Black-belt grappler comfortable on bottom
