MMA Workout 2/24

Theme

Catch everyone up who wasn't there last week. Hips, hips, hips.

Exercises

More balance ball madness, learning to keep your hips under, working cartwheel pass (I recently nailed a cartwheel pass from my knees against a very skilled player, so don't tell me it can't be done, even from standing)

More work with the Paulson pass

Due to injuries, we couldn't work guard passes on a person necessarily, but went with different passes on the grappling dummy

Technical work on thai-kicks and showing your junk, as well, as the proper way to block (shield and parry-by-opposition) with stuffing or moving away from kicks. Some full-speed drills to work on reaction time and technique.

Short session due to the aforementioned injured people and that we needed to put on our shoes and help out the Savateurs who are going to be competing in April. Exciting, because it looks like we'll be sending a good contingent to face the Belgians.
