Day 32/63 - September 6th, 2008 Workout - Muay Thai

September 6th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Class today was pretty good. We did some really tough drills with focus mitts where our partners would call out numbered combos and then we would throw them at the mitts.   I think I’ve finally got it drilled into my head to keep my hands up and it feels natural to me now to get them up no matter what is happening.

After those drills we did some knee drills - learning to come in with different knees after going into a one handed clinch.  Fun stuff… and I didn’t get kneed in the head today, so it’s all good.

We finished off with 15 minutes of some tough yoga-style stretching.   I’d like to get more into yoga for flexibility and core strength - some of those moves were tough!

After class, I went home quick and got cleaned up then went back to Kombat Arts.  They were holding a spar-fest where students from different schools come in and do quick matches between 1 and 3 rounds.  It’s kind of like the entry level Muay Thai matches.  I am going to go in for the next one in 3-4 months and I wanted to see what I’d be in for.

Watching spar-fest was awesome… it looked tough and all the fighters did an awesome job.  Now I want to train harder than ever so I can be ready for the next one.
