Fight Study: Muay Thai Class October 21

Two combinations tonight built off the jab.
Combination 1: Jab, cross, hook, hop step right/switch left kick

Combination 2: Fake jab, Rear leg front kick, hook cross, hop step right/switch left kick

Pendulum Step:  I'm much more aware of the pendulum step after the switch left kick when I think about it but still relapse from time to time. It's still a little clumsy and not as quick and light on my feet as it could be but it's getting there.

Relax: I'm tensing up before I throw a punch. I'll need to either tape or shadow box in front of a mirror and check it out myself. I need to relax and concentrate on snapping the punches out, not muscling them out and tensing up.

Lower body Punching: I'm punching with my upper body too much and not generating power from the ground and the lower body. I need to drop my weight into my cross and pivot  more on my lead hook.
