So a day late, but I was taking care of my sick wife yesterday, so I'm thinking I get a pass. In MMA on Wednesday, we worked one drill for the whole class. You either were on top in your opponents guard, working punches and trying to get them to tap to strikes, or on bottom trying to avoid those punches and either sweep, or submit the person on top, only stopping for a submission or a sweep. If neither of these happened after two minutes, you'd switch to a different partner. It doesn't sound like much, but for 45 minutes, it induced much sweating, and got you comfortable with a lot of positions, and different approaches.
Kickboxing was a return to basics. First, we drilled a low outside 10, making sure to step across and lean into it. Next was a low outside 9, which feels weird fighting orthodox because you have to really get your leg around to get their rear leg. We followed that with a lead push kick to a low outside 10. I had a hard time with this, mostly because I'm getting in too deep with my teep, and that leaves me in a tight space to throw the 10. All in all it was a good class, and we finished with partner ab drills, and five minute planks starting normal, doing a minute and a half each for side planks, and finishing regular. Exhausted but feeling good.
Two words, SHARK TANK! I love this drill. Don't get me wrong, I really dig working moves and refining technique, but live grappling is just a ton of fun! Can't be beat.
