Boxing was more uppercuts, and though I'm getting better at them, I'm still having trouble finding my balance, and turning my hips through properly. Other than that, I feel like my form is improving, and my footwork is also getting better. First we did the 1-2-slip-6 (jab-straight-slip-rear uppercut) then added a hook onto the end. After those two combinations, we threw the 1-2-3-roll-5, (jab-straight-hook-roll-lead uppercut) and then once again added a hook onto the end of it. It was nothing new, but it was also combos I need a lot of work on, so I was glad for the chance to improve on them.
Grappling was very simple, everyone sat against the back wall, and coach picked two people at random to have grappling matches. After a couple matches, I went against a kid who though young and inexperienced, is much more capable than he looks. I went the whole five minutes and didn't get to sub him, but would like to think I got the nod, points-wise. Second, I went up against an older guy, who is in phenomenal shape, and managed to get him down into side control, and almost got him into a wrap submission (that we worked on yesterday) on two occasions, and also controlled the match for nearly the entire five minutes. I really liked how they did grappling, and it gives me hope for the possibility of entering grappling matches in the future.
