Leg day on Tuesdays. Worked up a good sweat.
And a good exercise at the end that we hadn’t done before. Each of us simply running to each bag, kicking it once and then running to the next and kicking it. Then kicking each bag twice. Then once on the entrance to the bag, and once on the exit from the bag going to the next bag. Then each bag four times.
So though this might be considered a fun ‘game’, how relevant is it? Well, would you rather get tied up with multiple attackers, or get into a boxing match with them, or just kick them out of the way?
I loved the entrance/exit exercise because it makes you aware that a kick changes with your position, your objective, your line of flight. …
Yes. And now that we did the same with hand strikes today, I hope you see some of the similarities and differences.
One thing you might notice is that although using the hands to exit means you’re very likely closer to the threat, there’s a certain security in the balance of having both feet on the ground affords you. You can compare the risk in the committal of having one foot in the air versus the risk of being close. That’s just one of the differences.
