First night back in a muay thai class in a long while. New coach, Pat Cross out of Roughhouse MMA. It was just me and one other guy tonight so it was practically a private lesson. Cross definitely knows his stuff and has some solid kicks. He was able to point out some bad habits of mine and give me some advice on what I need to work on right away.
Snap it out and pull it back
I'm a little lazy after my punches and kick land and I don't pull them back right away fast enough. I need to snap the punches out and pull them right back to my temple. When I kick, I need to land the kick straight back. I need to consciously think of my punches and kick as a full complete motion, throwing the punch out and pulling it back, not just throwing the punch to the target. Snap it out and pull it back.
Footwork after a kick
When I throw a kick, especially my lead left switch kick, I land with my feet right next to each other and not in my stance. I need to land into a side step, or land in a pendulum step (simultaneously replace my standing leg with my lead while shifting my standing back into it's rear position).
