Hey Xoum, I am fighting for an ISKA area title in 6 weeks, which is a professional kickboxing title against a very highly regarded kickboxer who is 7-1.

 

Wow... I felt great today and it is VERY rare i say that, usually I am really critical of my self, but I felt really sharp in sparring and my punches & kicks on the bag felt harder than ever.

I did some padwork which felt pretty good... I was impressed with my power increases after just a few weeks of adding weights and bodyweight exercises It was a short, but intense session today... I think you need these a couple times a week.

Thursday

100 Right Kicks, 100 Left Kicks
5 x 2 minute pad work
8 x 2 minute sparring
5 x 2 minute bag

My walking and fighting weight is 63kg (although I fought in 60kg in Thailand and because I struggled to find opponents I have fought at 66kg once too).

I am 6 foot dead

 

Another moderate session today, My shoulders are a bit sore from 4 days straight of bag work so stuck with:

10 minutes skipping
5 x 2 minutes sparring (hard and fast)
Work Capacity 101 (5 Pull Ups, 10 Med Ball Slams, 15 Burpees, 20 Jumping Jack) x 10 in 18 minutes

Thanks man, as I said, the guy I am fighting is 7-1, so I know he is a big challenge for me. I am training to the extent where I KNOW I am training at least as hard as him and then trying to push further.

'Whilst you're not training, your opponent is training to kick your ass'

I try and keep this in my mind whenever I am sitting at home and tempted to play the 360 or watch television, etc.

 

P.S. anytime you are in Bristol we'll have to meet up and do some training...

Did you give the Yod kick a go? How did it turn out?

 

Just a quick workout today because my fingers on my left hand won't open and close properly... again... thanks bag work

Shadow boxing - Just using the mirror to work technique and footwork

Magic 50 - Repeat the following 5 times for time
5 x 15kg dumbbell snatch right arm
5 x 15kg dumbbell snatch left arm
5 x 15kg dumbbell swing right arm
5 x 15kg dumbbell swing left arm
10 Burpees
TIME = 8.50

200 Sit Ups
50 x Evil Dead
50 x left side
50 x right side
30 x knee to elbow crunches
20 x alternate touch toes


(my time is getting a lot better for the Magic 50)

17/01/09 - 9.57
21/01/09 - 9.05
24/01/09 - 8.50

Each circuit takes 1.15, so 1.15 x 5 = 6.15 total work time... I think 30 seconds is minimum rest to make sure you retain form. So my aim is 6.15 + (30 x 4) = 6.15 + 2.00 = 8.15. I am going to work for 8.15 over the next 5 weeks leading up to my fight
