Fight Club: Had another fantastic fight club tonight. We had 5 students show up. We first warmed up by doing 3x rounds of 10x ½ round kicks on each leg (from the same chamber) on each other.
We did 3x 1:00 rounds and a final 5x. During that we did some “kick block to body punch” drills.
Kicks & Fighting: We mostly did kicks. We worked 2x of each kick like we normally do to warm up. Then we did Front Kick up and down the floor, then round kick up and down the floor and finally side kick or ‘pull kick’ up and down the floor. Then we paired up and did about 5 rounds of fights where we could use hand techniques for anything but attacks and only score hits with kicks. Finally to close out class I did a “no pads” fight with Sempai first one to 5 points wins. Great fight and great time doing it. I thoroughly enjoyed that and wanted more.
Fight Club: Started with 5 minutes of stretching, then bag kick drills for 5 minutes and 5 minutes of man-in-the-middle drills. Then sparring for 2 sets of 3x 2:00 rounds. Good class tonight, had some fun.
Regular class tonight was Fighting/Sparring. We started off with all basic kicks 3x each, then some combo drills while moving around. Suited up and dis some round robin sparring. Decent night. I have to get used to sparring in a regular Gi though. Class ended with some people doing pullups, I didn’t volunteer thinking someone else should get some focus, but then Sensei picked Clint and I was like “dang, I should have just jumped up…”
Brown/Blackbelt class was intense for Kata. We started with running 12 laps carrying a medicine ball (15#) then we drilled the 5th set of Self Defense:
5th Set:
Ball bat attack
Knife attack
Elbow form
Spinning Elbow
Full Nelson
Then we did worked on Konku for about 30 minutes. I really worked and was pretty sweaty when we were finished. All in all, a pretty long 2 hours tonight. I’m pooped now.
We had 3 people tonight and 1 for fitness. I had the fitness person do 5x 2:00 rounds of Cindy and then 3x 2:00 rounds of kettlebell swings and single arm presses. After 10 minutes of group stretching.
Did 2 on 1 off for 5x rounds of fighting for 2:00 rounds. Then did it again.
Fun night.
