Tonight, we had a special guest down, Ben Richardson from https://www.candomartialarts.co.uk/Home Long-time friend and training partner of Steve.
SHADOW BOXING WARM UP
THAI STRAIGHT KICK DRILLING
Crushing the grapes - shifting the weight left and right on the toes with high hips. Each person taking turns to deliver a left then a right kick to the abdomen. Need to make sure the kicks aren't telegraphed and 'go' when the weight is on the supporting leg.
THAI 4 COUNT
Left lead straight kick (abdomen) - shift offline to the left and throw the jab - right round kick (outer thigh) - Thai clinch.
It was then broken down into a layered attack and counter sequence.
Counter to the front kick - as it lands, scoop it with the left hand, make sure the elbow is high. Push the leg down and away, not so much as he turns away and can throw a spinning technique. As his leg lands, he is partially turned away and you throw the round kick to the back of his legs.
He throws the lead straight kick but you don't manage to scoop the leg, he steps off line and throws the jab, you catch/parry or waslik the punch and move left and throw your own jab followed by a round kick (outer thigh).
He now throws the front kick and jab and he then throws his own round kick to the leg. Crush it with the left leg, step down and forward and attack with a long right knee. Make the crush strong and rooted so you can step forward on the strong ankle.
This time, he gets all three techniques in then goes for the clinch. As the clinch lands, drop your weight as you push up and away on his triceps. Keep the level you are at as you attack with the straight kick (abdomen) then the round kick (outer leg).
Finally, the drill was one person tries to complete the 4 count. The 'defender' the picked any of the defences to do. Tricky and challenging, just what the learning process should all be about.
GRAPPLING
AGAINST HOOKS
As you crash in, cover the head (palm on back of the hand on the of the head, forearms are covering the sides of the face, lose the neck) put the ear on the chest as the right steps forward and the right arm goes around to get the far hip, the left hand has wrist control. Apply forward pressure to get him backing up. Your head is under the chin, perhaps so much under his chin that the head is lifted, thus adding to the unbalanced sensation he will be experiencing. Hip throw: From the clinch, step the left foot across to get inside his left foot then step the right inside his right foot as your hips are square into his. Straighten the legs and he will become ‘light’, bow forward and over he goes on to the floor. Keep hold of the arm when he hits the floor, control him with knee-not-on-belly-but-on-ribs.
From the hip throw into the arm bar (elbow extension):
Keep a tight hold of the arm and lift it. Jam the right foot and shin behind his shoulder blade, the left foot steps (stomps) in front of the face and pulls back so you have him tight between your feet and legs. As you sit the hips to the floor, pull the arm up so your hips can almost get under his shoulder. Pinch the knees, hip up and lever the wrist down for the submission.
AGAINST THE JAB
Shoot in for the takedown by driving the shoulder into the abdomen as you pinch the knees together, double underhooks at the lower back and takedown into mount. to take him down whilst maintaining the control of his arm and upper torso. Left knee is tight to his back, right hand hammerfists the face. Step over with the right foot and use the calf against his face to tighten to control. Control the arm tight to your body and turn to your left for the shoulder submission.
AGAINST THE JAB CROSS
Parry and cross over the parry to the chin, sandwich grip the hand as you plant the back of the hips to him, you now have his arm (elbow up) on the top of your shoulder, maintain the grip as you drop under the arm and rotate and turn the wrist outwards for the takedown. From here, put his palm on your hip and turn to the left for the wrist submission or break.
