MMA integration tests grappling against a different set of consequences. The focus is not collecting techniques; it is connecting safe entries, wall work, top control, get-ups, and submissions into decisions an athlete can make under pressure.

The BORETS translation
Keep what transfers. Change what does not.
01
Read the scoring system
The same position has different value in Sambo, BJJ, wrestling and MMA. We begin with what wins, what resets and what creates unacceptable risk.
02
Build a small decision tree
An athlete needs connected answers, not a technique catalog: first contact, first attack, opponent reaction, second attack and a safe exit.
03
Pressure-test the weak link
Situational rounds start close to the real failure point so training time goes where it can change competition behavior.
04
Connect film to the next week
Review ends with a training priority, a drill constraint and a way to recognize progress in live work.
