THAI KICK MASTER CLASS
An energetic warm up, jogging in all 4 directions, arm swings, hip circles, forward folds, arm circles, lateral bends, lunges, Cossack squats; all to get the blood flowing for the kicking master class.
In the mirror drilling technique: keeping the stance tight so there were no tells to show the kick was coming, Steve was also continuously ensuring foot placement and angle were correct to set up the second kick, as well as the improtance of the hips push through when using the knee.
• Lead knee

DRILLING KICKS WITH A PARTNER, TWO FOR TWO
Always making sure that we are covering/protecting the head when throwing kicks and making sure we are out of punching range
• Rear knee (solar plexus)
• Lead straight kick (waist line) to rear round kick (outer thigh)
• Lead straight kick (lead knee) to rear knee (solar plexus)
• Rear straight kick (waist line) to lead round kick (inner thigh
• Rear straight kick (lead knee) to lead knee (solar plexus)
CONDITIONED KICKING ROUNDS, TWO FOR TWO
Any two kicks. Lots of changes of partners to feel different energies and body types.
CRASHING IN FOR TAKEDOWN FOR SUBMISSIIONS (KNEE WRENCH, ARM BAR, TRIANGLE WITH THE ARMS, TRIANGLE WITH THE LEGS)
Building on last Thursday; crashing into him as him throw punches for the clinch, get him moving backwards and throw him with the hip throw. We again drilled going for the arm bar by jamming 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.
KNEE WRENCH:
From the standing clinch, he pulls the arm back that you had wrist control on. The following actions happen at once – swap the feet so the left leg is in between his legs, the left ear is now on the outside of his torso, your right forearm is on the near side hip crease and your right-hand cups that Achilles of the lead leg. Push the left forearm forward as you pick up the ankle, this will sit him down. Whilst keeping hold of the foot, turn 180 degrees so that your right leg is tight against his left leg (which is in your hands). Cupping the heel with your right hand and the instep with your left hand, turn to your left causing the left knee to rotate. In application, this would be a very fast and aggressive motion to tear the knee apart. Obviously, we can’t do that in training so our motions to apply the submission were precise and considered.
SUBMISSIONS FROM YOUR BACK.
HEAD AND ARM TRIANGLE
He is in your guard, you have him wrapped up tight with his posture broken and his head is on your chest. He pulls out an arm and puts it across the neck and postures up. This will put lots of pressure across your neck. Use the same side hand to push his tricep across your chest at a diagonal angle as you wrap around the back of the neck to close it all off. Steve demonstrated the wrapping arm position is the same as the rear naked choke, but from the front. The crook of the elbow needs to be at the base of the neck so the forearms can scissor closed on the sides of the neck to cut off the blood supply to the brain.
LEG WITH ARM TRIANGLE
1. Pull his R. arm towards you and push his L. arm into his stomach.
2. Throw both legs up high (R. leg over his L. shoulder) so your hips are high and you’re on your shoulders, ankles crossed (L. over R.).
3. Use your L. hand to grab your shin (this stops him posturing up), put your L. foot on his R. hip and then rotate to the R. so there is no gap between his L. shoulder and your R. knee,
and your calf is across his neck (not his back).
4. With your R. toes pointing up, bring your L. leg over your R. ankle and bring your L. heel to your butt as you squeeze your knees and shift your hips back and raise your pelvis up.
5. For more pressure you can push on the top of your R. knee OR pull down on his head OR slide your hips back OR turn the bottom of your L. leg out as you move your heel to your butt.
6. To prevent him posting up and trying to open the legs by pulling on the knee with both hands, you can underhook his leg you are closet too to keep his posture broken. Make sure the crook of the elbow is behind his leg.
Thanks to James for the triangle detail, these notes were taken from a Rick Young seminar he went to where the sole focus was the triangle.
