UFC athletes Gilbert Burns and Li Jingliang recently hosted an immersive seminar for the local elite tactical team at the UFC Performance Institute Shanghai as part of fight week for UFC FIGHT NIGHT: WALKER vs ZHANG, that took place on August 23.
The duo seamlessly blended world-class striking and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, demonstrating how fundamental stand-up techniques like distance control and defensive blocking translate directly to real-world scenarios. On the ground, they detailed essential grappling techniques for control and submission, providing the officers with invaluable skills for close-quarter situations.
“The level of precision and control these athletes operate with is directly applicable to our work,” said Song Songguo, SWAT Team Captain.
