Greeted instructor.  Announced my desire to participate. 
When told to get some wraps, I produced my own.  After the crowd
gathered, drills started.

First drill:

Then repeat with left foot lead

Third drill:

Burnouts.  Jab-cross as hard/fast as possible with good form.

Fourth drill:
On standing bag.  Tie a jump rope and stretch it from about chest height.  Jab-cross-bob/weave-jab-cross

Fifth drill:
On standing bag.
Pyramid roundhouse kicks.  1-10.  Switch legs.

Sixth drill:
On standing bag
from a squat-stand-front kick-squat-stand other leg front kick-squat
repeat with roundkick

After that, did some conditioning.  Mainly abs.

Notes:
Instructor has no problem with me doing things the Muay Thai way (ala
my roundhouses, elbows, and knees) rather than the KB way. 
Good workout.  INstructor is lax on correcting technique, but there are mirrors everywhere.
Mainly female crowd. 
Hands torn from improper punching form.

Was major fun.

  1. hey,i've been following your training log for awhile. Confused about one of the drills:Fourth drill:On standing bag. Tie a jump rope and stretch it from about chest height. Jab-cross-bob/weave-jab-crossWhat exactly does the jump rope do? Do you tie it around the bag? A little unclear, your description

  2. tie it around the bag so that it creates something to bon/weave under.
