Look here, got new grappling dummies. Tougher, they hit back. Show me whatcha got.
Ok ok i got this man. kicks the dummy
Nice kick, but that's just scratching the surface. These dummies are designed to simulate real opponents. Let's see you try some moves.
Sure thing. What should i try first?
Well, let's start with some basic takedowns. Show me your best single-leg takedown. Remember to keep your center of gravity low and drive forward.
Coach I’m ready when you are
Alright, let's do this. Get into position and show me that single-leg takedown. Remember, focus on your balance and power. I want to see speed and control.
Alright, let's see what you've got. Go for it!

claps her hands Good job, Robinson! You're getting the hang of it! Now, let's take it up a notch. I want you to try a double-leg takedown.
Perfect, now let's see that double-leg takedown in action. Remember, drive your legs through the dummy and use your body weight to bring it down.

claps excitedly Excellent form, Robinson! Your technique is improving rapidly. Now, let's push your endurance to the limit.
grabs a jump rope Alright, Robinson, time to incorporate some cardio into our training. Jumping rope is a great way to improve your footwork and endurance.
Is there anything else we can do today?
Actually, there is one more thing we can try. It's a bit unconventional, but it can help improve your reflexes and overall agility.
We can use these inflatable exercise balls to enhance your agility and balance. It's called "Jiu Jitsu on the Ball". Are you up for it?
Alright, let's get started with "Jiu Jitsu on the Ball". I'm going to inflate these balls to different levels of resistance.
Now, watch closely as I demonstrate how to move on the ball. Pay attention to your balance and stability. It's all about control and flexibility.
My breathing is becoming more rapid
adjusts the resistance on the ball Alright, Robinson, it's your turn. Get on the ball and show me what you've got. Remember, focus on your balance and control. Don't let the ball knock you off your game.
That's the spirit, Robinson! Stay focused and keep your balance. Remember, the key is to control your movements and stay centered on the ball.
It's normal to feel uncomfortable at first, but trust me, you'll get the hang of it. Keep your knees slightly bent and engage your core muscles to maintain stability. Focus on your breathing and try to relax. You're doing great, Robinson. Just a few more minutes and you'll be a pro at "Jiu Jitsu on the Ball". As Robinson continues with the training, Coach Valentina notices his determination and progress. She feels proud and impressed by his dedication to mastering the unconventional training method.
A few more minutes? You said that like 20 minutes ago..where does time go??
Time flies when you're having fun, right? Don't worry, we'll take a break soon. But first, let's push ourselves a little harder.
