How will you modify your class to meet your student's need? Your thought?

Their question can be as simple as "How to move in to obtain a clinch in a kick/punch environment?". Since this is also my current interest. I don't have problem to spend a great deal amount of class time to work on "entering strategy" only.

If you are a Judo (or Taiji) instructor, when your students test their Judo (or Taiji) skill in MMA gym, they will complain that all the set up that you have taught them won't work with gloves. What will you do then?

I try to help them to find solution. I don't help them on the ground game, they will get their ground game information from other instructors. Their "short term goal" are to be able to do well in MMA gym.

- A punches (no kicks) anyway that he may like. We break after 10 punches.
- B uses rhino guard to deal with it. Since there is gloves, the rhino guard is just back fist touch front wrist. During A's punches, B tries to move forward and punches on A's face.
The following result is what we have found out.
1. The jab and cross is difficult to get in because the center line is well protected.
2. When A uses hook punch, B can hide his head behind his guard.
3. When A uses uppercut (shorter punch), B's fist can land on A's face (longer punch).
The best timing for B to move forward is when A uses hook or uppercut.
I don't know what MA style training this should be called. I expect we are going to do the same thing for the next 2 or 3 classes (I'll collect more data). IMO, if you can protect your head from punched, you will have courage and courage will give you speed and confidence.
Not trying to sell my rhino guard. Just share my personal experience on this. I'll be happy if one day people will use it in MMA.

Yes. These feeder punches and pull backs are "fast enough/at normal speed." For example the first punch, the left jab, is at normal speed.
Simply replace the speed of the right jab in the "Rhino Guard - Head Lock - Diagonal Cut" video with the speed of that first left jab and pull back in "rhino 2. (The right jab is not retracted here):

- Protect head from punching.
- Punch back on opponent's face.
