Yesterday was one of the more fun boxing classes I've had in a while. We worked on some pretty cool, and apparently advanced techniques. After we warmed up, we worked on throwing jabs from off center angles, and keeping moving at all times. Presenting your opponent with a moving target is one thing, but pumping your jab from all angles is another great way to keep them off balance also. We then switched to feints. Feinting the jab and throwing a straight, and feinting the straight and throwing a hook. I feel like I'm really starting to understand the mechanics of the hook, and it's starting to feel nice and tight. Finally, we worked on upsetting the timing of our normal combos, and being less automatic. Instead of throwing jab, jab, straight, throw a jab *pause* jab, straight, and throw off your opponents defensive timing. Pretty cool stuff.
I didn't go to grappling because my groin was feeling a little tight from yesterday, but I may go back today. I didn't like not going to what is easily my favorite class, but missing it once or twice is much better than missing it for a week or more.
