Club & Swim
- Prescription
- 10 × reps / side · 15 s restabout 6 min
- Players
- 2 minimum
- Equipment
- Blocking bag or shield
Same strike as the club-rip, but the arm goes over the defender’s shoulder instead of under it. It’s the counter to the rip: you use it once he has learned to block the low rip.
Key points
- The arm moves high and fast; it does not wrap around the shoulder.
- The feet continue to move forward as the arm swings through.
- Alternate between the "rip" and "swim" techniques in the same set, without announcing which one to do.
Common mistakes
- Raising your arm before your step is committed, which exposes your whole chest.
- Slowing down as the arm comes over.
