Whoo hoo! No leg kick drills involving shin guards yesterday! Wait, we still did leg kick drills, and despite the quite thick kick shields we were using, my leg still doesn't feel happy. Outer thigh, no problem. Inner thigh, on the other hand, oochamagooch! Have I mentioned that my brother kicks like a mule? I never truly appreciated how much leg kicks could affect a fight, but after this week's kickboxing drills, I am starting to understand how firing off 10+ of these suckers in a three round fight could really alter your movement, and change the momentum.
Jiu jitsu was all about passing the guard. These drills really drove home the fact that I need to work on my flexibility, and when it comes to elbows on the inner thigh, my pain tolerance is pretty much none existent. We did the breakdown of the guard, passing the inner knee across instead of the outer into high judo, transitioning to side control, and from there we worked a snap armbar. I really liked this series, mostly because it showed how to get past the guard in ways I had never seen before, plus anything that ends in an armbar is pretty sweet!
