Big fight class tonight. We started off with jumping jacks for warm up then some hop-scotch drills. Then did some 3-point lunges. Had them do “bring sally up” – I think they hated that. 🙂
Then broke into 2 rings and did some 3 point spread sparring. We had the students be corner judges and coaches. Good stuff and I feel like it kept everyone engaged tonight.
Halfway through sparring “thunderstruck” came on and we had a burpee party. Yay!
Thursday night, so small class. I’ve started participating myself on these nights. So wooohooo!
We did a ton of cardio/metcon work:
Tabata: Jump-rope
Tabata: Push-ups
Tabata: Toe Touches + 1 burpee in between a count up
10:00 Jump-rope + 1 skill ladder
Then
10x 2:00 rounds of offense & defense skill training
Finish: 2x 2:00 limb-speed ½ round kicks
Team Fight Class: did a 15 minute warm up of conditioning and kicks. Then setup a 5×5 ring and did a bunch of real-time point fights. Each student got at least 2 fights in, some got more. But overall good effort in the fights and we get to see where everyone is, kinda. Good night though. I think everyone is as ready as we can get them right now.
Big class tonight. We started with 5x rounds of :30 on :10 off, Jumping Jacks, Plank Hold, Squats & Leg Levers. By about round 3 some kids were really squirming under the leg work. Had some of them skipping reps and generally not working. My class partner really ripped into them and had a few square words for sure tonight. Hopefully it get’s through to them.
We then paired up and did ½ round kick drills, then some offense and defense drills one-on-one. Then we split up and did sudden death fights for about 30 minutes with the one who wins staying in for 3 fights in a row with the losing opponent owing 20 push-ups.
Good night in the end, some kids worked hard and I really see the difference in some of the other’s fighting and movement for sure.
Small class again. We did a quick bit of conditioning work, some new stuff. I think they liked it. Then we did some kick drills and then some mantis pad work. We then worked on specific drills for offense and defense then ended up learning a new thing. The “push off” and strike. A Raymond Daniels special move. 🙂
