Warm up:
Milzy took it and went sprawl mad which was nice. Doing them in sets of 10 almost resulted in my tea making an appearance on the mat.
Head movement and angles:
The feeder gives single shots from either hand as the defender had to initially move the head back over the rear leg to evade followed by a combo, of own choice, to the head and body. Following this was moving inside the punch and countering. Found this a little tougher as you are heading into the chaos. In addition it was tough to let the same side hand punch over his head. Neil noted that my distancing was too close. When I gave more space there was less jamming of my punches.
Working the angles:
Feeder was like a robot in that he held his hands together at face level but extended. This was simply to give the puncher a chance to work against a moving target. The point was to enter and exit with good head movement which brackets a flurry punch combination.
Positive footwork:
Keeping the rear heel of the floor is a slightly more active type of footwork and also keeps you a little more ready to fire attacks as opposed to being passive. Both sides were attacking but OK to throw all types of striking attacks. Footwork was primarily used to evade and move then enter to attack and exit safely.
Ground and pound practise:
Hitting the prone heavy bag with heavy relaxed power. Maintain the weight through the bag and attempting to simulate attacking a human. Also always be thinking of your form - don't get sloppy with the non attacking hand, keep the defense tight.
Free form sparring:
Worked with Hani. Focussed on keeping the short arm tight to the body and face and the other arm long. Really enjoyed it.
