Fight Study: Lead Leg Kickboxing Combinations

Combination 1: Lead leg round kick, cross, lead hook/uppercut, cross, rear leg round kick, rear leg round kick

Combination 2: Lead leg round kick, lead leg round kick, cross, lead hook/uppercut, cross, rear leg round kick

Combination 3: Lead leg teep, lead leg round kick, cross, lead hook/uppercut, cross, rear leg round kick

Combination 4: Lead leg teep, lead leg round kick, cross, lead hook/uppercut, cross, rear leg round, thai clinch*, skip knee, skip knee, skip knee, push off exit clinch
 * remember when initiating the clinch to swim one hand at a time, not both at the same time.

Things I need to work on:
 Lean Back: I'm still leaning back when I throw my kicks, it's taking power away from my kicks and makes me easier to push over. I've also noticed that I'm leaning to the side when I throw my lead uppercut or hook, I'm trying to load up on it too much and it's slowing me down, takes power away from my punch and opens me up. It's all about body mechanics.

Cardio and Conditioning: Oh man, Coach Cross really knows how to push us. My back is already on fire and my hips were cramping up after class. I will need to do some stretching tonight. Piriformis stretches go!
