For a lot of people thinking of trying Mixed Martial Arts the gyms are extremely intimidating places – like a first day of school where someone is trying to hit you in the face at timed intervals.

Over the next six weeks, Owen Roddy will be showing us some of the basics involved with MMA to make that move to a class that bit easier. This week it’s Ground and Pound, which is great for mobility and also for replicating fight situations and can be practised pretty much anywhere as long as you’ve a punchbag and a pair of gloves.
