Before class tonight I was most nervous as Monday night classes are striking only. This is my greatest fear so entered with apprehension to the class.
In and out drills: Designed to my mind to develop quick feet, maintaining the discipline of keeping your eyes up and timing.
Foot attacks, chest attacks, shoulders attacks, all at once. Essentially you have to attack the areas said. When successful the partner needs to sprawl as a consequence of a positive attack.
Multiple lead punch drill: The point was to use the one arm over and over to develop relaxation through sound technique and not to let the tension build in the body and shoulder. In terms of my own stance I was given several pointers:
Rear hand need to be tucked into the belly and hand is against the jaw.
Front hand is extended and of motion to keep you in control of the distance.
Spine slightly rounded giving a tucked appearance to the torso.
Feet shoulder width apart and length and width on the diagonal.
Using body motion to deliver multiple strikes
Combos studied:
Jab - Jab - Rear cross - knee
Jab - jab- rear hook - round kick
Jab - jab - rear hook - spinning backfist
Jab - jab - rear hook - round kick - spinning backfist
Ground and Pound sparring.
Working from back control, both just strike. Not looking at passing, subbing or sweeping. Hitting from the bottom and the top. Person on their knees must try to stay on balls of the feet, head in the centre of his chest or applying pressure through his face, arms at his sides with hands on his shoulders. On the call we had to stand and free form sparring. On the next call rolls reversed on the floor.
Final exercise challenge.
Shadow fighting in the mirrors followed by a series of slow count and dynamic push ups.
When the session had finished I had a grappling roll with Charlie. He has great relaxation in his grappling as well as creativity. He displayed excellent patience, pressure and skill. Ultimately subbing me with a downward shoulder rotation. A great session.
