Instinctive Training (diary entry)

English: Muay thai, knees in clinch. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

12.10.2014 We began the Triple C session with some focus mitt work. We built up from boxing, including some basic combinations, to kickboxing, isolated clinch and then put them all together. We looked at movement within the clinch and how to manoeuvre an opponent into knee and elbow strikes. The discussion took us onto instinctive reactions, which was an opportunity to explore the fence and pre-emptive striking. Then we went through the cover for striking, against multiple attackers and stand-up grappling.
