3 Point Strike

3 Point Strike Instructions

A striking drill that channels power, coordination, and controlled movement in three directions, like you’re facing off against multiple opponents.

Start Position:
Begin in a fighter’s stance, feet staggered, knees slightly bent, ready to move. Hold the mace in a High Cross position, loaded and ready. Visualize an opponent in front of you, and one on each side. This mindset helps bring more power and purpose into each strike.

Core Engagement:
Tighten your core to stabilize your spine. Keep your shoulders relaxed and pulled down, not up into your ears. Your posture should feel strong and balanced.

Point 1 – Front Strike:
Step forward with your lead foot and strike straight ahead with the mace. Keep your movement intentional, like you’re delivering a powerful blow to an opponent right in front of you.

Point 2 – Outer Strike (Same Side):
Next, pivot or step your front foot out to the same side and strike again, this time to your outer flank. Stay grounded through the hips and keep your focus sharp.

Point 3 – Opposite Outer Strike:
Finally, step your foot across to the opposite side and strike in that direction, completing your 3-point strike sequence. Control your movement, but strike like you mean it.

Return & Repeat:
Bring the mace back to your High Cross position after each strike. After completing your reps on one side, reset and repeat on the other side.

Muscles Worked:

• Core (especially obliques)

Coach Notes:
This isn’t just a physical movement, it’s a mindset drill. Stay sharp, move with purpose, and imagine every strike counting.
