MMA and me; day 151/152

Wednesday was another day at Alderwood, and after some light grappling early, followed by some good core exercises, we worked on flow grappling. Alternating moves, not going hard, and just flowing from position to position. Very, very helpful in seeing things you might miss going at a "regular" pace, and in forcing you to help your partner be successful as well. A really fun day.

Thursday I started boxing by helping a new guy with his basic footwork, and focused on the jab and the straight. Showed him where to hold his hands, how to balance his weight, and then worked a bit on a couple of the combos we covered in class, and free flowed a bit as well. I'm sure we'll work on those combos again soon, so I'll get them up later. Curse this forgetful mind of mine! That will teach me to post things later than the next day!

In grappling on Thursday we did some light drills, shoulder rolls, somersaults in place, rolling around the back with arms in place, and finished with some flow grappling. A good day of classes, and I walked out of the gym feeling great.
