In sets of 10 and in any order to develop greater sensitivity: 8 x #2, 1 x #3, 1 x #4

PAD TRAINING
Round of random combinations of either: jab, jab-cross, jab-cross-hook. The pad holder was responsible for the range, motion, checking the guard and which combinations to hit.

SINGLE STICK
Numerada - hitting the 5 angles of the attacking hand (boxing gloved) as the primary aim is to destroy the hand. At this range we are not in a 50/50 gamble about who will hit the head first.

Striking families against the 5 angles
- destroy the hand then abaniko
- destroy the hand then stabbing
- destroy the hand then figure 8s
