Cory Sandhagen – The Essentials of Striking Full Package

This advanced striking system delivers a clear, intelligent framework for understanding stand-up fighting through the lens of one of the most technical strikers in modern MMA—Cory Sandhagen.

Rather than relying on memorized combinations, this program teaches you how to think, move, and adapt in real time by mastering three core pillars of elite striking: Stance, Space, and Advantage.

Stance: Mobility, Defense & Control

You’ll gain a deep understanding of stance selection and why it dictates everything from movement to defensive readiness.

This section explains:

How your chosen stance affects mobility, balance, and striking efficiency

Optimal hand positioning for defense, counters, and transitions

Fighting effectively from open stance scenarios

Seamless stance switching to create unpredictability and offensive opportunities

This is one of Cory Sandhagen’s most respected areas of expertise—showing how stance is not static, but a dynamic tool for control.

Space: Distance, Timing & Impact

Space is the invisible battlefield of stand-up fighting, and this module breaks it down in a simple, actionable way.

You’ll learn:

What “space” truly means in striking exchanges

How to maintain distance to stay safe while remaining dangerous

How to close distance efficiently through controlled entries

Cory’s signature concepts such as “crashes,” along with the mechanics of pulls and pops

This knowledge allows you to dictate when exchanges happen—rather than reacting late or guessing.

Advantage: Making the Fight Predictable

At the elite level, fighters don’t react—they anticipate.

This section focuses on:

Turning chaotic exchanges into predictable patterns

Using angles to control positioning and limit your opponent’s options

Recognizing and exploiting common mistakes fighters make under pressure

Creating moments where your opponent walks into your offense

By understanding advantage, you gain the ability to slow the fight down mentally while increasing effectiveness physically.
