Another day of boxing and grappling in the books, and another tired and sore body the next day. In boxing, we worked on combos where after two punches, we slip the jab the person holding the focus throws, then follow up with more punches after that. Footwork, and balance are so much more important when it comes to punching then I ever realized. When your feet start to get out of whack, your punches start to look terrible. I still find myself throwing my punches really hard, instead of being fluid and smooth. Power will come in time. Until then, fluidity and form need to be my most important focuses.
In grappling, it was more of a conditioning, and free grappling day, than a technique day. Coach ran us through several drills to work strength, physical and mental, and then had us grapple for the last half hour. I tell you, sometimes grappling for any amount at the end of two hours is rough, but for this long of a period, WHEW! Again, this makes me realize that I need to work even harder to get into the shape I need to be in, if I have any serious aspirations of competing in any capacity. Still, I'm having a hell of a good time.
