Side cut and front leg side kick: 3x10 each leg.

Spent the rest of the time working on interaction drills, moving around in the ring. Closed stances, back leg round kick to allow defender to side cut and counter. Also did open stance, front leg round kicks as attacks. This time was used to get better at seeing the kick motion start, to allow a faster response to initiating the cut and defense.

wow, that is quite the workout man im tired just by reading it and nice on the weight on the flat bench man 235, I can only do it once, with a lil help.

Thanks for the props, Throwdown. I have felt bad lately, because I feel like I am not making enough gains. Its still hard to push up; I feel like it should be getting easier, but oh well.
