Duke Roufus Striking University

Greetings from Roufusport MMA HQ in Milwaukee!
In the latest DRSU episode, “Basic Cadence Combos,” Roufusport Striking Coach Scott Cushman teaches that a strong, consistent cadence is a powerful asset when firing off combos in the heat of battle. A clean, repeatable rhythm helps fighters stay balanced, efficient, and offensively connected while applying intelligent pressure. But what truly elevates your striking to another level is the ability to change your cadence mid-fight – seamlessly shifting tempo, rhythm, and timing to keep opponents constantly guessing.

This ability makes you highly unpredictable and extremely dangerous, as it becomes very difficult for opponents to read, time, counter, or replicate your attacks once your cadence begins to vary. By mixing fast bursts, delayed shots, broken rhythms, and sudden tempo changes into your combinations, you force hesitation, create openings, and make your offense far more difficult to defend. As always, rock-solid defense must remain 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: Basic Cadence Combos.” As Duke always said, make sure you're “Having fun getting it done!”

Greetings from Roufusport MMA HQ in Milwaukee!
In the latest DRSU episode, “Defensive Fundamentals,” Roufusport Striking Coach Scott Cushman breaks down, step by step, what it takes to build a solid defense. He begins by calling out the casual habits that quietly turn fighters into easy targets, then methodically shows you how to properly absorb strikes, control range, and move at the exact right moment. You’ll learn how to manage your weight distribution with precision, staying balanced, composed, and ready to respond at all times.

From there, the focus shifts to turning defense into opportunity. It’s not just about surviving exchanges – it’s about taking control of them. Coach Cush teaches how to position yourself for advantage immediately after shutting down an opponent’s attack, setting up your next move with confidence. Defense stays at 100% – sharp, disciplined, and non-negotiable.
