Last class of the week, and man, boxing was fun! We started out, after jump rope and shadow boxing, with some more unorthodox combos. First was a 1-body 4-body 3. This felt a little odd at first, but the hooks to the body, which were thrown more like uppercuts than hooks, started to feel really comfortable towards the end. Next was a lead 2-body 3. This felt different because we were leading with the straight, instead of the jab, but was good, as I could tell it felt really awkward to defend against. Lastly was a particularly strange combo, a 1-2-hop step to the side-body 3. So you throw the 1-2, then hop your rear leg to the outside of your opponents rear leg, and bring your lead leg behind you, effectively switching your stance. From there you throw a body hook, which is actually a 4, since your stance has been switched. Definitely something different, but very cool. We then did two rounds of jab sparring, which I need to do more of, because I'm just not used to getting hit. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but if I want to try my hand at fighting at some point, I am going to have to get used to it. Afterwards, I hopped on the treadmill, and got my two miles in, but as of this coming Monday, I'm back in jiu jitsu! I can't wait.
To everyone out there, Merry Christmas!
