Listen to your feet and keep your head down
Couple of pointer's in tonight's CM session.
Aside from the conceptual framework presented, everyone did pretty well tonight and I'm happy with the progress. The kicker was the last quarter of the session where I noticed 2 things: T.E.S. wasn't being applied and there was a constant shuffling of feet on the mats.
Chin IN, head down, hands and head moving at all times (move the Bhindi), T-rex the arms when firing off punches. Yes, you will feel your traps (shoulder muscles on your upper back) firing up. Yes, now you can level change easier. Don't do what the guy above is doing... :P
Step into your punches, step to circle away and not shuffle the feet or drag the feet. Listen to what your feet and your training partner's feet are telling you. If you hear him dragging his feet, most likely he's getting tired and will end up crossing his legs eventually.
What everyone noticed immediately was that it felt "tighter" and much easier to defend from and to play a counter or offensive game. It also felt more balanced and general movement was better.
