Finisher
Punch out drill
-3 person: 1 holds bag, 1 resting, 1 punching rotate each 30 seconds
-continuous hard punching for 30sec (mainly jab/cross)
-each person completes 5 total punching rounds (30sec punching, 1 min total rest each round)
Practice went smoothly today - weather was fairly good but cool enough and windy enough that we needed to keep the garage closed for the first hour. The Finisher was particularly tough today since we had all thrown so many jabs over the course of practice - starting at the 3 round the last 15 sec of punching was really tough on my left shoulder (no pain, just felt dead). Nerxt practice will be back to a focus on kickboxing/thai boxing.
The shoulder bump drill was added to reinforce body mechanics for the slip as well as provide practice for later infighting drill. The stationary arm bob and weave was done for a similar reason - helping reinforce body mechanics against a live target and building awareness of distance.
