Training Summary - 8/7/09

This week's training session went like this:

1. Dynamic stretching (full body)
2. Circuit x 3 (full body)
3. Basic striking techniques (full body)
4. Grappling/rolling (cardio and full body)

The circuit had eight stations, each lasting 40 seconds with about 10-20 seconds rest in between each station. Each station targeted one of the following, with the next station targeting the next thing on the list:

1. Cardio
2. Upper body
3. Legs
4. Core

This week also saw the introduction of a new piece of training equipment. The makeshift punch shield was fine for practising strikes, but not strong or thick enough to use full power. We practised Kyokushin-style 1-2 punches, body rips and low kicks on our new piece of el-cheapo gear.

The grappling part was a basic free rolling session starting on the knees, with no strikes or submissions allowed. The idea was to fight for a dominant position, with the participants starting again on their knees when one of them achieved a steady mount or back mount position.

Just like last week, we had a good time and a good workout, but it was clear that we have much to improve on. I'm looking forward to many more enjoyable sessions on the way there.
