A small Muay Thai class tonight so we concentrated on picking up on our basics during some bag and padwork rounds. Reminded students about some combinations which we do in class during the drills, which should also be practised on the bags and while shadow sparring. Finished with some grappling, working on balance, both ours and our opponents, and attacking with sweeps and takedowns. Junior Zen Do Kai had nine on the floor (plus Jo Hunt who is taking every opportunity possible to get in extra training before her black belt grading). Our 4 newest students went through basic stances, stamp, hands, elbows and knees. Madison and Jayde were both looking good, improving every night, and it is easy to see they have been practising at home. Well done girls! I took the more advanced students through blocks, punches, Iron Horse form and self defence techniques, finishing up with Gekisai I and moving onto the bunkai flow drill from it. Impressed upon the students the necessity of maintaining balance, relaxation and body contact throughout. A big thank you to Jo Hunt for once again taking the beginners and teaching them so patiently.
