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.
