Got the day started off right with an hour of kickboxing. We worked on low kicks first, and were getting very specific on the details. Coach compared it to kicking a football off the ground. You don't want to come at it head on, you want to get off to a 45 degree angle, and go by with your head down, and swing through the target. We drilled stepping across the body, and keeping the head down from beginning to end. For me, it's about driving through the target, and pushing off with the shin after contact. It leads to a much deeper, and devastating leg kick. After two rounds, we moved on to bump drills, and finished off the class with those.
For the next hour, we just grappled, so I was a pretty damn happy camper! I'm just focused on getting ready for Saturday, and being as prepared as I can to go after those subs. I also need to remember, to work for and maintain top position as much as possible, and to remain calm. Losing my cool plays right into whomever I am competing against, and takes me out of my game. Great day in the gym yesterday, feeling good!
