6/2/18: Slips, Bobs, Parries, Covers and smothering - Boxing "basics" and Lock flow playtime!

Todays session was all about evasion and defence. one of the lessons learned is that the evasions have to come out of your own striking... apparently when people get hit they tend to hit back so you need to be able to move, cover, block etc during your own attack. It also helps if you have the right body mechanics on your striking and evading! (I will learn to throw a decent hook eventually and keep my chin down!)

Boxing drills:

All based off a Jab, Cross, Lead hook, Rear hook feed.

Warm up - Slip Jab, Slip Cross, Bob and weave lead hook bob and weave rear hook

Evading:

A Jab - B catch and reply with jab - A slip and rear uppercut
A Jab - B catch and reply with cross - A slip and lead uppercut
A Jab - B catch and reply with lead hook - A bob and weave, body shot
A Jab - B catch and reply with rear hook - A bob and weave, body shot


Parry/cover:

A Jab - B catch and reply with jab - A outside parry with rear hand, lead hand push elbow away follow up with ABC
A Jab - B catch and reply with cross - A outside parry with lead hand, rear hand push elbow away follow up with ABC
A Jab - B catch and reply with lead hook - A Thai wing cover (driving fwd with elbow) other hand covering partners rear hand follow up with ABC
A Jab - B catch and reply with rear hook - A Thai wing cover (driving fwd with elbow) other hand covering partners free hand follow up with ABC

Long Guard (hands high) tip: when you are bringing your hand back after your jab you need to keep you hand high to do long guard defence... this can help you bait your opponent by leaving the hand out a bit after your jab

A Jab - B catch and reply with jab - A long guard cover (rear hand drops down and forward to push their jab off line) then hit with same hand you covered with
A Jab - B catch and reply with cross - A long guard cover (lead hand drops down and forward to push their cross off line) then hit with same hand you covered with
A Jab - B catch and reply with lead hook - A long guard shield (rear arm goes out to the side to block the hook trying to catch their forearm with the blade of your arm) use free hand to cover centre line then follow with dumog drag (free arm shooting under their hooking arm pulling them round and then follow with ABC.
A Jab - B catch and reply with rear hook - A long guard shield (lead arm goes out to the side to block the hook trying to catch their forearm with the blade of your arm) use free hand to cover centre line then follow with dumog drag (free arm shooting under their hooking arm pulling them round and then follow with ABC.

with the long guard it can help if you move off line a little too.

We then mixed all the defences, partner feeding 4 attacks and you choosing any of the above defences to work.

Pad rounds: (the cardio killer)

3 stations for 2 mins each

1) Thai pads - cross hook rear elbow rear knee - pressure going forward and finishing able to defend pad holders reply
2) Kick shield - body shots, lower stance, punches in bunches, moving off 45, bump offs and work rate
3) Focus mitts - jab, cross (stepping through as you cross) body hook, head hook (or as I like to call it... ow my wrist, my hooks suck)

Training note - sometimes it is easy to get carried away with pads thinking you need to go a hundred miles an hour... but your form goes to crap (at least mine does). it is OK to slow down for a couple make sure your technique is ok, the combo is smooth and then build the speed again

Lock flow:

Wrist locks 1 -16 in flow trying to keep movements between each lock tight s there are no gaps

we then moved to Lock and disturb (also starting to use arm locks and chokes)

Finally we moved into: lock -disturb - hit - lock  pattern (as its easier to lock someone after you have hit them! we were then able to look for shapes and begin to implement clinch, 50/50, body lock, wrist locks arm bars sweeps etc.

This is FUN. it's compliant and it gets your brain thinking in order to recognise shapes. Let your partner get the lock on first (go light) to build confidence and understanding - it's a development drill that has huge applications.

As always hope you enjoyed and it makes sense. comments questions observations always welcome
