Workout Thursday 8 27 09 (7)
A clip from Thursday night's kickboxing workout at Mullins Martial Arts in Norton. You'll see Aaron Marcum, a mixed martial arts competitor with Team FAST, working various focus mitt and Thai pad drills. Here we have Aaron concentrate on his form as he throws the right thigh kick to the ribs. In past few months, as we prepared for GFC 22 in Pikeville, I decided not to train his Thai round kick at all. I didn't want to introduce any new techniques into his skills set, instead focusing on his boxing and general footwork. This drill is an excellent way to concentrate on form versus power or speed, to get the technique down before you starting banging away at Thai pads, heavy bags, or banana bags.
