Day 6/63 - July 26th, 2008 Workout - Muay Thai

July 26th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

I am going to get back into the habit of writing these immediately after my workout.  I’ve been waiting too long to update and I lose a lot of the details in my mind which is one of the main benefits of doing this.

I just got back from an hour of Muay Thai class.  We did a lot of different drills where we would deal with different attacks and then counter attack.

  1. Catch jab, throw jab right away
  2. Catch jab, catch double-jab, throw jab, cross, hook, rear-leg Thai kick to leg
  3. Catch jab, catch jab then pat down double-jab, throw cross
  4. Catch double-jab, catch jab, roll away from cross, throw step-in cross
  5. Catch jab, roll away from cross, throw cross, uppercut, rear-leg Thai kick to leg

I need to work on not wasting energy with extra movements when I block/catch/parry.  If I keep my hands up and my arms parallel to my head, I’ll only need to turn a little bit to block and will be quicker and less exposed.

I’m starting to feel more fluid in my movements - moving around a bit more while attacking and I feel like I can adapt better to throwing from different ranges - like if I’m too close to throw a kick, I’m starting to take that extra step to put myself in position automatically.
