    Been trying to learn dirty boxing for the longest, was happy to find Couture's stuff, but I had an issue because it really didn't teach you how to avoid getting hit while coming in, counter punch and defense when your not throwing blows. Fred Mathakie directed me to for MMA and I was impressed, it really filled in some gaps that I always wanted to know as a wrestler when it came to striking and closing space. Now Im looking for places to test it out, any takers?

    Its actually quite a hard area to get good info on and a very important one

    That stuff looks like a mix of traditional boxing, wing chung and dronken monkey

    I suppose the proof of the pudding is in the eating. You gotta ask who is providing results using the system. I saw Rashad in there but I wouldn't consider him a great striker. Good but not great
