Lito Adiwang says Soma Fight Club's mixed set of coaches helped him "develop faster": "You have everything under one roof"

Filipino MMA standout Lito Adiwang is enjoying his time with the Indonesia-based team SOMA Fight Club because his desire to elevate his skills is being satisfied by the diverse coaches that they have.

In a recent interview with The MMA Superfan's YouTube channel, Adiwang narrated how he was able to track his development through the help of coaches who were specialists in specific disciplines by saying:

"That's the importance that I see for when you have everything under one roof like here in Soma. My progression is quicker. I develop faster. For instance, in BJJ and wrestling, they are close disciplines, so your coaches should be talking to each other about my progress. As an MMA fighter, I you always have to start on your feet first. The fight always starts with both fighters standing. You need to know the right approach, what you need to do if you get caught, or what you have to do next when you get the takedown."

'Thunder Kid' also mentioned how direct their communication is on the team and its crucial role on working on his game, as he continued:

"Those transitions are very important, so it's crucial that your coaches are all in one team so that they can talk about things. When they find a solution or find the right moves for it, they just throw it to you, and you just have to work on it."
