Well this is a load of old bollox intit!

Watching Gemma Gibbons gaining Britain’s first judo medal in 12 years, I found myself wondering: is women fighting each other violently a perfectly wholesome spectator sport? This wasn't a bit of pretend wrestling. Gemma and her American opponent, Kayla Harrison, were properly grappling with each ot...

Worked at increasing punching power by 'priming' the system, increasing the CNS activation. Using the ballet bars rather than just the wall as we did at Primal, we can activate both the pulling and throwing actions of the punch at the same time.

This makes it easier for beginners to get a hold on what muscle actions are needed AND transfer this to the pads. It worked!

Working on training to improve your punches, working through and 'observing' the components of a punch to get it to work more effectively.

Tonight we built on the 'skip' kick movement we've been working on lately. It was all about using the skip step to get into position so a technique could be thrown correctly.

Once you get the skip step sorted you add an entire new dimension to your game!
