MMA and me; day 56

Our usual kickboxing coach is enjoying the Arizona sun and hitting up the final WEC event ever tonight, so we had a different coach for yesterday's kickboxing class. We warmed up by stretching as a class, as opposed to stretching on our own and then jumping rope for ten minutes. After stretching, we shadowboxed for the next 10-15 minutes, working on footwork and not staying in one place when we throw our kicks and punches. We worked head movement along with the footwork, and by the time we were halfway through the class, I had a good sweat, and burning quads. We paired up and grabbed the kick shields, and worked on some Muy Thai knee drills. First, we grabbed a Muy Thai clinch, and alternated knees, while dragging our partner around the mat for a two minute round. After switching, and giving my partner a chance to do the same, we went with a fairly rough drill. Getting the clinch back, we picked up our right foot off the mat, and threw knees to the kick shield much like the previous drill, except this time we were not allowed to touch the mat with that foot. By the end of the two minutes, I was pretty dead tired. Again, my partner got the chance to do the same, and before the end of class, everyone sat in a circle and locked legs, and rocked out sit ups for the next five minutes (or something like that, I actually never looked at the clock.) We did somewhere in the neighborhood of 95-100 sit ups straight, and called it good. A much different class, but that's one thing I like with all of our various coaches. We get something different from everyone. I hopped on the treadmill, rocked out a couple miles and headed home to pass out.
