Daily training outside the Group

14-02 Happy Valentine´s Day … It´s crushing time!

·

Today you are going to suffer !  Yeah, Some truth about that day …

Intensity was the theme of today´s training, participants Remy, Gina, Micke.

Michel is nowhere to be found, may be having a romantic Valentine´s  day instead? we others are training  ! 🙂

– Drills on focus mitts and heavy bag , punches with full  power and speed

– Start from lying down on the floor ( face down ) get  up  directly to on guard position and direct hook on mitt, about twenty of those…

– 4 punches on mitts and lift the mitts holder …. Remy is so nice,  I feel he jumps a bit to help me lift, or ? 🙂  then it is Remy´s turn to lift Micke, I feel this one is a bit more difficult ( let´s say this again : Micke is 103 kgs ! )

–  Punches:   Jab Cross Hook, Around 50 of each, full power on the heavy bag… our hands are hurting and start to bleed but none of us is complaining!

– Rounds of 30 seconds on the heavy bag. All techniques and full power and speed, alternate with Remy and going around 5 times each, no break …  High level of energy for both of us ..

– Kicks on pad and heavy bag at the same time ( Remy is on the bag), both sides 10 of each :  Hook kick, Whip kick, Side kick..  tirrrrrreeeeeddddd…………….

– 10 full power punches on pad and bag, alternate with pushups, up again and punches, down and pushups, up and punches,  down.. up .. down … and OH my God I am dead ..

Ok we are done for today,  let´s stretch :  start with the bridge , Ok …this is how this one went :

Gina: can´t do it at all, Micke helps lifting  but I cannot hold the position myself , that is very bad !

Remy: no problem … but a muscle pain had him down for a few minutes …

Result : hmmm !!!

– Static training, Hook Kick position:  the leg is too low, work on the leg muscles , how?  Kicks !

– DO THE SPLIT NOW !  Remy and I look at each other , hm…  how  will we be able to do this before the summer ?  And out with the spiders please ! Nice to be stuck  in this position (  half split ) and see a running spider under my legs!

Anyway .. good training today really intense and feels good afterwards, a lot of things to work on as usual but good energy!

Thank you guys and see you next time..

Training of the day, session at my place with Micke:

Speed reaction on pads, punches and kicks, found this quite difficult… I am too slow ..

Blocking drills with simultaneous attack.. this one goes  a bit better

Try to hit Micke with hook kick… well ….

Reaction on attack situations, self defense  drills , few exercices with arm grabbing, strangulation and usual attacks with bare hands.. Grappling, result of this is quite obvious, speed in the reaction is needed not to end up there at all .. because of my size there is no way I can pull myself out of Mickes body weight ( 103 kgs !!! )  if I get down it is too late, I can try to bite and reach some sensitives parts but either that , there is not much I can do.

stretching,  balance drills,  situps and to finish me, punches and heavy ball throwing in the stomach,   for the abdominal muscles to get stronger, because they are TOO WEAK !! says Micke..

the rest of the week is for me to work on my strengh and speed .. and stretch and.. and everything else.. 🙂

As I said Mondays are a bit tricky, tired after the sunday session and pain almost everywhere, at first I thought I would take this day off but I didn´t feel too good about it.

So I did some pushups anyway,  better than nothing but very bad .. I know !
