Sparring Seminar with Soledad Serrano

Soledad Serrano Seminar

Alongside the full seminar, the three preview clips below highlight different aspects of Soledad’s coaching approach, showing how simple ideas can dramatically lift sparring awareness, agility, and control.

Preview 1: Never disconnect

In this clip, Soledad works with Brend Contti (also from Argentina) on a sparring drill where the defender is only allowed to use turning kick. The restriction forces constant awareness, timing, and distance control.

At the end of the drill, Soledad explains the idea of never disconnecting – staying mentally present, maintaining pressure, and not giving your opponent time or space to reset.

Preview 2: Patterns in a Square

Soledad Serrano is known for her creative drills, and this one highlights her remarkable agility and coordination. Patterns in a Square is a fast, fun warm-up that challenges memory, coordination, and agility all at once.

Ever seen Dan-Gun performed in seven seconds? This drill shows how patterns training can be both demanding and highly engaging.

Preview 3: Footwork

Footwork is a major theme throughout the seminar, and this clip shows just how quickly and efficiently Soledad can move while staying balanced and ready to respond.

The drill involves pushing backwards in a full facing position, a useful option for defensive sparring. Mr Mark Trotter assists as the drill continues the theme of “asking” your opponent to attack by deliberately offering an opening. This type of footwork allows you to retreat quickly, then create the moment to counter.
