I was checking out the latest on the MMA scene on the net and came across this picture of Yves Edwards. I think he is a well rounded fighter, with a warrior’s heart. He trains at ATT here in Florida and I met him when he came over to Marcelo’s to train his groundgame before an upcoming fight. He is a very humble person and one hell of a grappler!

Anyway, this is a good example of the powerline. Now, when talking the powerline it is not only the top meaning the shoulders and arm when using the lead vertical, but also the hips and feet (top, mid and bottom so to speak). Other than dropping his rear, I think this is an excellent example of all three levels. And unlike what most may believe, it works not only on the streets but in any shape of squared ring, cage, circle, or mat.

Victor, Thank you for that find and sharing that! MMA fighters are always finding better ways to improve their game. I admire some of these guys with their determination when it comes to researching what works for them and going over the top with their physical development in speed, power and technique.
