Senior Master
Last night was my first night in a more advanced class at our school. Sometimes it's more advanced mentally, sometimes just more intense physically. Last night was physical.
We started out with roundhouse kicks wearing resistance bands. The bands were various resistances and we moved around, two minutes per band per leg (four bands in all, plus front-side speed roundhouse kicks against a heavy bag for a total of five stations).
Then we moved on to the bags. Muy Thai bags on the holder's arms out to do high, double round house kicks. 2-2 minutes sets on each leg.
Then it got brutal, 20 seconds of Muy Thai style round kicks against a mop handle, per leg. Ugh that hurt. Then we paired up and kicked each others shins
A satisfying, if somewhat painful, evening. I was joined in the new class by my 13 yo son (Daniel) and 12 yo daughter (Jessica). It was intense for them but they stepped it up
