Brown & Blackbelt Class: We started off by working on self defense. Namely Blasting Elbow and Hip Toss. We started with drills in the air then grouped up and did it on each other a good dozen times. Hitting hard and being hit hard. I felt really good on Blasting Elbow.
We then kept the same groups and worked on Hip Toss. Starting off with just the toss portion. I’ve never actually been “tossed” from this one and it hurt. I got dropped hard a few times and landed hard. But overall I was doing okay. I feel like I did well when it was my chance to toss people but when it was my turn to be tossed I wasn’t a good partner. I apparently fall awkwardly. I guess I need to work on that…
Then we did some sparring. Without fight gear. I got in a couple rounds, I love this type of sparring. I got kicked in the mouth once but It’s all good.
I left class feeling super powerful and just psyched for the future…
I love this stuff.

Fight Club: Came out a couple hours early to assist in the fight classes for the youth times. Then went straight into the adult fight club class. Did a bunch of 1:00 rounds for 40 minutes and worked up a good sweat. Then stayed behind for 30 or so minutes longer and worked on some self defense. Very long day, and all in all feeling pretty wiped out from it.

Self Defense. Started with a :30, :34 and 1:00 med ball plank. Then drilled 1st and 2nd set of self defense in the air as a big group. Got into smaller groups and worked on 6th set. We worked on hitting hard and being hit hard. Good night and definitely got and left some bruises tonight.

Self Defense. We drilled 1st set up to 4th set. We worked on specific things we could tweak and make better on each one. Great to be back in noon class again. Didn’t realize how much I missed the pace of these classes for learning and refining my stuff.
