One more week and I can go back to grappling... probably. Until then, it's kickboxing, boxing, and the treadmill. Yesterday was kickboxing, and it was back to basics. Worked the 10, making sure to step out across the body and pivot on the front foot as you open the hips to really turn the leg over and dig it in to the kick shield. Next was the 9, and two different ways to throw it; first being just stepping across with the rear leg and digging the kick into the leg, or quickly skipping and throwing a switch kick. The switch is a little quicker, and has a little more sting to it, but I like to practice both, if only to keep my opponent guessing. Lastly, we worked a jab-kick combo. Throw a 1, and then throw a mid level 10. The nice thing is when you throw the jab, you are already stepped in with your front leg, so instead of stepping across at a 45 degree angle, you can just step straight out as you throw the kick.
We finished with flutter kicks, leg lifts, and plank position, then I hopped on the treadmill for 25 minutes and kicked my own ass with a pre-set calorie burning program. (Damn that incline got steep) Anxiously awaiting the return to grappling and jiu jitsu.
