Kickboxing yesterday, was brutal! We worked on Muy Thai clinch control, and escapes. The thing about the escapes, is that to break someones Muy Thai clinch, you have to raise your head up, and walk your hips towards your opponent. Guess what? This wrecks your neck! We also worked on re-pummeling after someone already has established the clinch on you, and that was no picnic either.I'm glad I have a massive head, because it makes my neck nice and strong, but I'm still quite sore from having a 240+ pound individual hanging on my neck for the better part of 45 minutes.
In grappling, we worked on escapes, and sweeps from being mounted. First was a hip bump, and pushing on your opponents hips to create space, then sliding a knee through to re-establish half guard. Next was lifting one of your opponents legs off the mat, onto the back of your leg, and then using that to sweep. It sounds more complicated then it really is, but that's the best I can do without visual aids. Lastly, we modified the previous sweep, into trapping the same foot in the crook of your knee, and turning it into a modified heel hook, used more for a sweep than a submission. Again, sounds odd, but it's the best way I can describe it. All in all, a solid day of class, and I'm anxious to get this week going strong!
