Hitting the Pads

4/26/2012

Comments

 
I love kickboxing and boxing, nothing gets your blood pumping more than the conditioning involved in the Martial Arts.    Exercise will help to you to preform better at work, sleep better, look and feel a whole lot younger.    This week I focused on technique with the focus mitts....working in partners for 3 -5 min rounds.    One partner will preform the combination, whilst the other is holding the pads.

One thing to note, good pad holding will build good technique....most times when I hold the pads, I am working up just as much of a sweat as the slugger hitting them.   When holding the pads, this is your opportunity to focus on defensive movement, view the angles and give the striker a clear line to the target.     DO NOT hold the pads really far apart, like a two headed hydra....move with the pads by turning the torso and giving the striker good angles.    Work slowly with the movements and depending on where the combination is intended to go simulate this with the appropriate levels with the focus mitts...body, head, kidneys, liver, legs....at the same time keeping the focus pad holder away from getting accidentally pounded.    

Each punch is assigned to a number 1 = Jab, 2 = Cross, 3 = Hook (left or right depending on the flow of the combination), 4 = Uppercut.   Warm up with about 5 - 10 of skipping (1 - 2 songs), stretch.

Combinations To Train (Break it down in three parts) each partner has 5 min on mitts, and 5 min striking.     In between rounds - 10 Burpees - 20 Push Ups - 20 Bicycle Crunches - 10 Jump Squats.
  1. 1-2-3-2 - Bob and Weave Right (Pad holder throws a left hook with focus mitt to similate a punch causing the striker to Bob & Weave to the right making a U with their head) - Repeat until end of round
  2. 1-2-3-2 - Bob and Weave Right (Pad holder throws left hook) - 2 - 3 - Bob and Weave Left (Pad holder throws a right Cross) - Repeat until end of round
  3. 1-2-3-2 - Bob and Weave Right (Pad holder throws left hook) - 2 - 3 - Bob and Weave Left (Pad holder throws a right Cross) - Bob and Weave Right (Pad Holder throws a left hook) - 3 (Left)-2-3-4 (right) -4 (Left)-3 (Big Right Hook)  Repeat until end of round
  4. 1-2-3-2 - Bob and Weave Right (Pad holder throws left hook) - 2 - 3 - Bob and Weave Left (Pad holder throws a right Cross) - Bob and Weave Right (Pad Holder throws a left hook) - 3 (Left)-2-3-4 (right) -4 (Left)-3 (Big Right Hook) slight pause Left Knee, Right Knee, Left Elbow, Right Elbow - Left Kick Low - Right Kick Low - Repeat until end of round


This should last about an hour, and help to build the fundimentals....its always best to do this in a class setting.    If your interested in doing this work out with me feel free to contact me for training dates and locations.
