So in boxing we worked on footwork and movement. When stepping, its important to lift the foot that you step with, then push off with the other foot and drag it as you slide over. We next drilled turning left. First, step over your center line with your lead leg, in this case the left, and turn on it, spinning your other leg behind you, keeping your hands up of course. Next we worked on a pivot from a forward step. As you step in, staying low and leaning forward, execute the pivot much like you did before, and finish by snapping out a double jab. We then worked an up and down drill, where we held our hands up and walked backwards as our partner walked down and threw 1-2 combinations. After we both went, we did the same thing but threw a 1-2-3 instead. When backing up, it is as important to dip back when you step, as it is to do so when stepping in. We finished with two rounds of punch ups, and quite a few different core exercises, and it was time for grappling!
The main focus was on working leg locks from bottom half guard. First, as you wrap up the leg lace (outside leg over, inside leg over that leg, then under their outside leg, boots on), get a same side under hook, post up on the other elbow lean back and extend your legs until they tap. This is a modified toe hold, and is very difficult to defend against, sindee most people will simply allow you to get half guard. Second, we worked a similar entry to a different submission, the electric chair. Starting from bottom half guard, smoothly switch from an under/over, to an over/under, get the same side under hook again, and post on the other elbow. Much like the old school sweep dive under their far side leg, but instead of ruling them over you, sideways, use your legs and hips to roll them diagonally up over your shoulder that it is opposite them, and as you roll, pull your bottom side arm out, and bring their leg up to your shoulder, digging your radial bone into their knee, right above the joint, and as you pull in, extend your hips to put a tremendous amount of strain on the groin and hips until they tap. We had a great class, thanks to Coach and all my classmates!
