Only me today - we've got to get a few more people along otherwise it'll become hard work to keep the club going, not to mention serious lack of sparring partners. OK for me though - a private session with Jason to work on my weaknesses highlighted by my bloody nose last week at Steve's gym. Jason said I should seriously learn to parry incoming punches and follow with a counterpunch rather than using my face!
So we did a lot of practice with pads:
1. parry a jab and follow with a right cross
2. parry a right hand and follow with a left
3. lean backwards to avoid a punch and follow with a strong right hand
Number 3 is great and I can't wait to try it on Rich. Your opponent may be off balance (if he has a weak stance), and the right hand reply enables the full body to be behind it making it a powerful move.
I've stepped up my fitness at home now running most mornings either a 5km circuit via Church Village with sprints between lamp posts along the A473, or hillclimbs on Garth Hill behind my house. Our dog Bruce comes with me and I think he hates these sessions - he can't sniff any smells and his piss stops last only as long as the time his extendable lead takes to reach its maximum length which is about 2 seconds.
It looks like our exhibition in August will be postponed - too many people are away that month, and we're looking for an organiser. Can anyone out there help?
