Most martial artists learn trapping…

…but very few can actually make it work under pressure.

Why?

Because what they’ve been taught is either:

• Too compliant
• Too complex
• Too disconnected from reality

So when it matters…

👉 It all falls apart.

Most Martial Artists Get It Wrong Because..

They treat trapping like a sequence…

Instead of understanding it as a reaction that happens in live combat.

Trapping isn’t something you “do.”

It’s something that emerges when distance, timing and pressure collide.

And if you don’t understand:

• Why it happens
• When it happens
• How to adapt it to different environments

…you’ll never be able to use it effectively.

This Trapping Seminar Series Fixes That

In this 3-part workshop series, Phil Norman breaks down trapping in a way that actually works across:

• The street
• The ring
• The cage

No theory for the sake of it.

No fancy drills that collapse under pressure.

Just functional, adaptable trapping you can actually use.

Here's what you'll learn

Seminar 1: Trapping Concepts 

(The Foundation Most People Miss)

This is where everything changes.

Phil breaks down the core mechanics behind trapping, so you finally understand:

• Why trapping naturally occurs in exchanges
• The biggest mistakes that make trapping fail
• How to stop “chasing hands” and start creating real openings
• The difference between forced trapping vs natural trapping
• How to make your trapping repeatable under pressure

Here's a sample from this seminar 1 focusing on understanding the correct ranges to trap

Seminar 2: Traditional vs Sport Trapping 

(Bridging Old School to Modern Fighting)

Most people keep these worlds separate…

Phil shows you how to connect them.

You’ll learn:

• Core trapping concepts from Wing Chun & JKD
• How those same ideas show up in boxing, kickboxing & MMA
• How to adapt traditional drills into live, sport-ready applications
• The key differences between cooperative drills vs competitive exchanges
• How to train trapping so it actually transfers to sparring

Here's a sample video from this seminar 2 looking at trapping a boxing guard

👉 This is where trapping stops being “traditional”… and starts becoming useful.

Seminar 3: Trapping for the Street 

(Simple, Direct, Effective)

Trapping changes when it’s for real.

No gloves. No rules. No rounds.

That means your trapping must become:

• Simpler
• Faster
• More aggressive

In this seminar you’ll learn:

• How trapping evolves in real-world situations
• Why complex sequences fail under pressure
• Simple, high-percentage traps that work under stress
• How to use trapping to control, off-balance and dominate
• How to create immediate openings for destructive follow-ups

Here's a sample from seminar 3 looking at breaking fingers when trapping

👉 As you can see this is about ending situations quickly, not playing happy slappy games.

What Makes This Different?

This isn’t just “more techniques.”

It’s a complete shift in how you understand trapping.

You’ll walk away with:

• A clear framework for when trapping actually works
• Drills you can use immediately in your classes
• Concepts that apply across all striking styles
• A system you can teach to your students (not just perform yourself)

Who This Is For

This 3 part seminar series is perfect for:

• Martial arts instructors who want more functional training methods
• Coaches who want their students to perform better in sparring
• Fighters looking to add another layer to their striking game
• Anyone frustrated that their trapping doesn’t work in real situations

Bottom Line

If your trapping only works in drills…

…it doesn’t work.

This series will show you how to make it:

👉 Simple
👉 Practical
👉 Effective under pressure
