After what seemed like 2 of the longest weeks ever, I finally got back into Muay Thai class! I’ve really truly missed going… can’t say that enough.

Today was a fun class too - lots of sparring which I always love. We started with the normal warm up and then did some back and forth lead and rear-leg Thai kicks to the lead leg of our partner. We then progressed into doing some back and forth, blocking a jab/cross and then responding quickly with a kick, then a little more freestyle, where we’d block a combo and respond with a kick or interrupt the combo with a kick.

After that we did composure drills… which are always a blast ;) You basically stand against the wall while your partner tries to combo you endlessly and you try to keep your eyes on what they are doing and block accordingly and counter with kicks. Halfway through we switched to composure drills with the spin thrown in - same thing really, except before you start, you put your head down and get spun around 10 times and then have to defend yourself while dizzy. Good times!

I thought I’d be really out of it after 2 weeks, but I felt pretty good. Not 100%, but pretty high up there. Tomorrow is Konditioning class… which I’m sure will absolutely kill me as it always did even before the break. :D

I feel really great right now. It’s good to be back in training and I feel like a fog has been lifted from my mind. I’m not sure I’ve been thinking straight lately… maybe all I needed was a few punches in the head to knock some sense into me. I definitely got more than a few of those today!
