Kicks on the floor

Side kick: 3x10 each side

Round kick: 3x10 each side

I remember these as exercises from Revolution of Kicking videos. I've used the chair a bit, as a kind of warmup before hitting the WaveMaster, but maybe I should also do these floor exercises as well. I don't do a hook kick yet, but I am doing the side and roundhouse kicks.

Yeah, the Revolution of Kicking videos reminded me of them. I had done them before, but not for some time. They are good exercises, and can help you with the technique without worrying about having to balance and stand at first. You can also work combinations while lying down between the three kicks. With the new approach I am taking to my sparring strategy, working the kicks like this will help me out.

TKD class: 6:00 - 7:00. I focused on my side kicks again tonight, working on the chamber position. Sparring was so-so tonight. I didn't feel like I was getting much, and footwork was junk. The guy I sparred felt like I did ok, though, so maybe I am just not seeing it the same way. I was leaning back some, which I wasn't trying to do, but get tired, and don't move so well. I'll have to work on this as well.

Yeasterday-

I'm at my families home this weekend, so I got the chance to go and train with my instructor at my old school.

30 min of clinch drills, progression to free form takedowns

40 min spontaneous attack/defend drills, add club and knife attacks

30 min of free roll

Great workout, followed by watching the ufc. Today will probibly be an off day as I travel home. we'll see if I can sneak anything in when I get out of the car, but I doubt it.
