17/8/18: High volume Thai combos and takedowns into submissions.

Straight into it tonight, looking to up the intensity and repetitions.

Thai drill warm up: (lots of reps)

1) jab, rear round kick
2) lead hook rear round kick
3) lead uppercut rear round kick
4) jab cross round kick

In pairs, out of range so you can do a full 360 spin during round kick (starting low to help warm up!).

We do a lot of slow and smooth full body mechanics shadow boxing. Today we used this out of range partner drill to had some intensity to out mechanics, really whipping the kicks round (and coming round into a leg check stance at the end). Also when punching Steve suggested imaging you have a bag of marbles in each hand and that when you snap your punches out (with full rotation) you are trying to "shake/rattle the marbles" I found this analogy very helpful. Even through you were out of range and taking turns the target person can still visualise and practice defences and movement (just don't touch them!)

Rear round kick defence variations:

All off jab, rear round kick feed

1) Catch jab, Crush the kick into either teep or knee (with rear leg) into ABC

2) Catch jab, Cut kick, as they kick you step off in the direction the kick is going (e.g. right) and use lead leg to "cut" their standing leg, follow up with rear round kick.

3) Catch jab, Stop hit - step in and slightly off 45 (to jam their kick) and throw a cross before their kick lands

4) Catch jab, evade kick - shuffle step back then fwd following up with ABC. (as per boxing drills the other week.

We drilled these individually and then randomly in sets of 4 any order same feed (with intent)

Take downs:

1) Off Jab - parry and lead hand eye swipe, into lop and cross, dumog drag into figure 4 wrist lock take down. partner on side on floor with arm bend wedge arm against body cup wrist with both hands and pull straight up

2) Off Jab - split entry then immediate off set (push rear shoulder), skip step to side and simultaneous ear slap, hooking kick to back of knee with your rear leg. keep hold of an arm as they go down. to finish stamp on head, wedge arm between legs, sit down and fall back into arm bar

3) Off Cross -  Split entry into dumog drag takedown into arm bar as above

4) Off Cross - Cut punch into arm bar (lat on elbow), to take down gently for the drill switch hands holding the arm, come down to floor with lead knee and use your lead hand to brace on the floor, then slowly slide down. This one you can easily wrench your partner so go really slow to start and practice getting the lock on straight after the cut punch.

Lots to fine tune, mixing flowing and snappy shadow boxing, movement, applying combos and flowing form technique to techniques (e..g entries and locks/armbars) while making sure that they are tight and "on" as soon as you get hold of them
