If you only train in a Training Hall with pads, then your not preparing for reality. Right now I’m in an office building which sits on a concrete structure with light carpeting. Going to and from my house or other places of business it is almost all concrete, tile, marble indoors, etc. No padded mats in my daily life. The closest thing to it might be some occasional grass which is fairly rare here in Vegas! No, everyday I am surrounded by concrete, rocks, tile, cool crete by the pool, light carpet on top of cement, the occasional wooden floor but no mats. If I only trained on mats, am I preparing myself properly???

Thats a serious question! I really don’t want to do a double leg takedown on concrete. I don’t want to be on my back on rocks. The real world is not very forgiving. Structures, cars, rocks, poles and more all get in the way. If you only train in a Training Hall on mats you are ill prepared!

The World Is Your. Training Hall!!!
