Fredson Paixao
Next month in preparation for Worlds we will be focusing on less new techniques and more on repping things we have already covered. Here is some great drilling advice from Fredson Paixao, a 4x world champion:
Fredson does something interesting when it comes to drilling: He drills a handful of moves from every single position – and he aims to do this each and every time he trains.

“I drill top and bottom guard, mount, back mount… everything.”
This is different from the vast majority of the athletes I interview – including other world champions and upper-echelon grapplers and MMA fighters.
When you break it down, that’s a whole lot of drilling. 4-6 techniques from top and bottom guard, half guard, side mount, turtle guard, mount, and back mount ends up being somewhere around 60 reps – but assuming Fredson hits each technique a number of times – this ends up being a much larger number.
