30/8/16: shadow boxing variations, Thai 4 count and single stick


SHADOW BOXING VARIATIONS (rounds)
Visualisation practise: recent studies have confirmed that the process of visualisation creates the same neural pathways as actually doing the skill. The brain can't distinguish between real stimulus and imagined/activity/action, you become what you think about. The work of Brain Tracy centres on this, his book No Excuses goes into this concept in much greater detail.

At all times in the shadow boxing work, we had to imagine someone in front of us. Until a more appropriate term arises, shadow boxing will remain. Practising empty will produce empty results.

THAI 4 COUNT TTACK AND DEFENCE
4 count - lead kick to inside of lead leg - right cross - left hook - rear kick to outside of the thigh
DEFENCE 1: against the lead kick - crush across followed by rear round kick.
DEFENCE 2: the lead kick gets in, they throw the right cross - you cut punch then rear round kick.
DEFENCE 3: the lead kick lands, cover the cross, simultaneous cover and uppercut against the hook followed by a knee up the centre.
DEFENCE 4: the lead kick lands, cover the cross then the hook and crush the kick followed by the rear round kick.
