10/3/16 Energy drills, trapping, pad training and single stick

CO-ORDINATION WARM UP
As last Thursday; start from outside contact range, pak and punch, tan and punch, pak and punch and continue rolling side to side.

Pak and punch, lap and punch, pak and punch.

TRAPPING
Steve said that the concept of trapping is to remove the barrier to hit. You are only going to need one trap as the person on the other end is not going to give you the 'correct' energy. Create a gap and move forward.
All of the following traps were worked from outside contact range.
1: rear pak and lead punch, left tan and right punch, right cross pak and left punch.
2: rear pak and lead punch, he pushes across the centre so lap and rolling backlist into lan sau and punch.
3: rear pak and lead punch, he gives energy going forward, use this energy for a lap and punch,

We then did them in sets of four consecutively.
Here is an example of the lan sau (both shape and energy)



PAD TRAINING
Round 1: Feeder throws a jab, parry and low hit to the body, lead hammer fist, lap and rolling backlist, cross - lead hook - cross.

Round 2: Jab, jab - cross, jab - cross - lead uppercut, jab - cross - lead uppercut - rear overhand, jab - cross - lead uppercut - rear overhand, lead hook.

SINGLE STICK
3 beat high box sumbrada.

8/3/16 Thai knees, Thai elbows, pad training and standing grappling

THAI KNEES
Thai stance - short, high hips, high hands and short guard.
1. Feeder jabs, catch the jab and cover his rear hand, turn the left foot out and have a strong ankle, lift the knee then push it forward from the hips. As the knee comes up, the right arm cuts into the neck fro the clinch. It literally felt like a jamming strike. Step away after the knee strike and throw an elbow.

2. Feeder throws jab then cross, capture the right hand, take a small step with the right, turning the toes out and having the strong ankle, strike with the left knee. Again, finish with the elbow strike.

THAI ELBOWS
1. Feeder throws jab-cross, pull down and tug the right cross as you step in with the right elbow (kiss the bicep style), follow up with left elbow, right elbow, right back spinning forearm/elbow.

2. Feeder throw the jab, step in with the left elbow, follow up with right then left elbow, finishing off with the spinning back forearm / elbow.



PAD TRAINING

1. Jab - cross, bob and weave under the lead hook, throw the left body hook, right cross - left hook, bob and weave under the rear hook and you throw the right body hook, left head hook - right cross.

2. Jab - cross, feeder throws head high attack, cover with elbow up the centreline, step in with the rear elbow strike.

STANDING GRAPPLING

1. Feeder throw jab –cross, parry the cross and step in with a covering elbow, reach up, over and around for the standing guillotine. Get the armpit on the back of the head, get arm in deep and finish – left elbow high and on his shoulder, push the hips forward and lever his head.

2. As above but the guillotine is not deep, he gets his fingers in. Release the neck arm for the undertook, the left arm either pulls on his forearm or jams his humerus into his side (it just depends where his arm is) and reap him down to the ground.

1/3/16 Pad training, jab sparring, lock flow and locking out of striking

FOOTWORK:
Jabbing the pads using step and slide footwork pattern in 4 directions.

Jab and he moves back as he has your jab timed in. On the second jab cross step in, pressure the shoulder and neck with your left and strike with the right cross.

PAD TRAINING
Keeping the focus on footwork, combination was right cross, left jab (step in song the female triangle, v-step right), be tight at his hip and side as you throw the right body hook, right head hook.

SPARRING
Jab only. Light and fast, varying levels and numbers. Keeping it active.

LOCK FLOW
1 to 4 and back to 1. Left and right side.
1: kotegaesi variation: take control of the thumb, rotate outwards and down towards the toes using a perpendicular palm on the back of his hand to apply rotation and control.
2: arm wrap and tricep extension (if looking the left arm, wrap with the left
3: upward shoulder rotation
4: extended reverse ikkyo

The video below shows a very similar lock flow.



LOCKING OUT OF STRIKES
1: Feeder throws jab, pal and biu to the eyes (make a simultaneous motion, cut across his centre to affect his centre as this will keep the right hand away), lap and punch, slide the punch down the arm to take control of the thrumb and apply number 1 lock to the wrist, turning out and down to the floor.

2: Feeder throws jab, pak and salute and you enter in, shear the arm (left pulls the wrist back as the right elbow wrenches in the opposite direction just above his elbow), control the thumb and use the forearm to apply pressure as you are in so close and tight.

3: Feeder throw jab and cross, catch the jab and parry the cross as you throat strike, apply the dumog pull as you step the front leg to the rear. This will greatly affect his structure, from here the upward shoulder rotation is waiting.
