Duke Roufus Striking University

Greetings from Roufusport MMA HQ in Milwaukee!
In the latest DRSU episode, “Effective Leg Attacks,” Roufusport Striking Coach Scott Cushman emphasizes to the class that powerful leg kicks begin with proper setup – not simply by throwing the kick blindly. A damaging leg kick only lands cleanly and effectively when you initiate your attack from the correct range, incorporate precise footwork to safely close distance, and maintain strong hand defense throughout the entire exchange.

Only then will the kick fully connect, complete its mission, and violently displace the opponent’s leg – disrupting their base, breaking posture, and leaving them vulnerable to immediate follow-up strikes and additional damage. Coach Cush reinforces that every movement must work together seamlessly: footwork, positioning, timing, balance, and defensive awareness.

Throughout the entire sequence, defense remains at 100% at all times.

In the second half of our segment you see fellow Roufusport teammates training, including some of our team's top names. Watch and learn as the team puts what they were just taught into practice over several rounds of spirited, controlled sparring.

We hope you enjoy this new segment "Duke Roufus Striking University 3.0: Effective Leg Attacks.” As Duke always said, make sure you're “Having fun getting it done!”

In the latest DRSU episode, “Strong Defense into Offense,” Roufusport Striking Coach Scott Cushman begins the lesson by explaining how to set the tone as the aggressor in a fight. To move forward effectively while minimizing exposure, you must keep your hands up at all times. As you initiate the attack, maintain strong, disciplined defense by blocking their left strikes with your right hand and their right strikes with your left hand – never the opposite. Everything should stay compact, tight, and controlled as you press forward, with every movement intentional and purpose-driven.

When firing punches or kicks, keep your techniques sharp, precise, and efficient – no wasted motion. Always return promptly to your base stance or defensive shell without overextending or opening up. As Coach Cushman emphasized, “Big movements create big openings” for your opponent, especially when you lose structure or overcommit. Defense stays at 100% – at all times, because the moment you relax is the moment you become vulnerable.

In today’s new DRSU episode, “Knee Attack Setups,” Roufusport Striking Coach Scott Cushman covers knee strike setups and the core footwork fundamentals behind them. Coach Cush emphasizes that because the knee is a close range strike, a strong setup is essential to avoid counters on the way in.

Once the knee lands, proper footwork determines everything – whether you exit safely or stay in position to keep the offense going. As always, defense remains 100%.
