Jab-cross-jab-cross-left hook-right hook-left uppercut-right
uppercut-left elbow-right elbow-spin backfist-left knee-front

Done with both left and right lead

Burn outs for 5 minutes with gloves
Burn outs for 3 minutes without gloves

Pyramiding up to 10 for both sides of roundhouse
Alternate leg roundhouse
Another really long combo...I forget.

Throw in some jumprope and ab work along with some squat kicks.

Notes: Great workout.  Was ready to puke
Good way to focus on keeping hands up.  Love all the mirrors
Regrettably, have to fix my own mistakes as instructor isn't too concerned with form
Fewer cuts on hands.  Form is improving.

  1. I'm jealous. Hope this kickboxing place over here will work.

  2. Yeah I know what you mean about fixing your own mistakes. Some instructors prefer to make you puke your guts out, while others want to focus on technique.Personally, I like an open gym environment. You walk in, and do whatever you want (heavy bags, speed bags, sparring, etc.), but there's a round timer constantly going and the coach is observing everyone and answering questions, or teaching new things. That's how my boxing club was.
