July 2nd, 2008 Workout - Muay Thai

July 2nd, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

My leg felt pretty good today so I went to Muay Thai class. Hamstring/groin felt a little stiff, but after some stretching and a warm up they were back to normal.

Today was a really fun class with lots of sparring. Started off going back and forth with just rear and lead leg kicks and practicing attacking and defending. Then we did back and forth jab attack/defense, then more sparring with the jab in addition to leg kicks. Finally we did more attack/defense but with lead hooks added then more sparring including all kicks.

A few times I went up against guys that were quick / tricky. Against one guy I ate more than a few push kicks to the chest - need to come in at an angle. I’m starting to feel more comfortable and relaxed but I still have trouble defending against combos. It will come with time and practice. Once my tattoo is healed I’m going to be getting in for as much sparring class as I can so that should help out a lot.

Got home after class and was in my room and took a funny step - I rolled by ankle a bit and stumbled and cracked my forehead on the corner of the open door. It left a nice clean half inch cut right between my eyebrows. It’s not too big but looks a little deep. The position it’s in is pretty much pushing it closed so it should be fine - will see how it is tomorrow.
