Warm up:
Shadow boxing
Thai drills:
Defence off lead round kick (low line) - which might be followed but with a cross hook rear round kick combo (always expect more to be coming!)
1) Check round kick with lead leg (bring up to centre line not too far across and keep hands up) - as you put your checking leg down step it forward onto the ball of your foot (hard ankle) at a 45 angle to open up the hips - follow with a rear knee (use your hands to monitor their guard or pull arms down). Make sure you come back to a balanced stance ready to move away again.
2) Check lead leg as before - this time you can't throw your knee in time - your partner throws a cross. As they do step off 45 (like a slipping motion) and throw an overhand over their cross. Follow up with and uppercut and a rear round kick.
3) Check lead leg as before - now the cross is followed by a hook (not enough time to slip and throw overhand) - long guard cover/parry the cross, Thai wing/Hook cover their hook and drive forward as you do making sure your free hand monitors their rear hand or throws a simultaneous uppercut. Use your Hook covering hand and drive forward with the blade of your arm to HIT into the clinch (push you hand past their head as you do and bring it back to whip their head in... use one hand at a time to fasten the clinch if you use both you will be head buttered or counter clinched) - follow up with skipping knees (push then back a little then bring them in as you do)
4) Check lead leg, cover cross, cover hook as above- this time a round kick comes before you can clinch - Check the round kick using your lead leg and follow up with a rear leg groin kick. "fall forward" into the kick so your right leg (kicking leg) is now in front - as you do drive head forward and push their rear shoulder so you are off balancing them. AS this is happening you are trying to wrap your other hand round their back, reaching up the back of their head and then moving into a backsweep.
We spent a lot of time drilling these so that by the end the checking motion at the start was instinctual.. from this point we will go on to mixing it up (next session/future sessions)... using these combinations in a flow off of your partners attacks (various 4 count drills) and depending on the pace/intensity will depend out you react/what openings you have available... this of course will all come off of the lead leg check so as so as you have done this you can then "go" - again another great drill to take the thinking out of it when you start mixing it up.
Pad round:
Pad holder holds pads at a slight angle so any punch can be thrown. They call out how many and you throw any punch combo to that amount. Pad holder also moves (pivots) making their partner have to do a lot of moving to get into position again. pad holder also checks guard, advances retreats etc forcing partner to keep moving.
Knife flow:
Off the 5 angles
Cut and reply (cut the attacking limb and stab as an immediate reply. keep the reply tight):
A1 - leand back and cut inside arm pass with outside arm, A2 - pivot away from attack (move lead leg back) shield with back of arm pushing down and in and cut up their arm, A3 - shift waist/bum back Cut inside arm and pass with outside arm, A4 - pivot away from attack (move lead leg back) shield with back of arm pushing down and in and cut up their arm, A5 - shift wais/bum back cut inside arm pass with outside arm
Cut, reply and keep cutting moving to zero pressure.
any order feed -Cut, reply then feed - cut, reply then feed (any angles)
Really important to keep movements tight, move your body out the way, defang with the knife first (the parry is extra support but use the knife!), try keep same leg and knife hand forward (and regain that "stance" after pivoting away)
