The eighth of the CCMA cross training course in western boxing methods. We began with a revision of footwork, flash pad work (building up combinations), set combinations on focus mitts and then onto timing. I assessed the progress of timing drills on the heavy bag.

Then we moved onto generating force. This is an area covered first in self-defence training, but later in martial arts. We isolated and restricted power jabs, crosses, overhands, hooks, uppercuts and shovel hooks.

The session was finished with some proactive pad-work. This consisted of 3 x 2 minute rounds of attack only, defence only and attack with defence.
