The drills that matt is speaking of,..just like everything else he does, are drills that are not alive. Ie...hubud, palasut, lop sao,

etc.. etc.. However..Matt is not against drilling at all. He just doesn't see the merit in-As twisted up said-"feel good martial arts". Basically you sit there doing hubud and you and your partner take turns taking cool traps and locks out of the flow and then patting each other on the back about how good you looked at the end.

Instead, try an alive drill like pummeling, or active guard passing, etc..etc..

Its different because its real.
