Straight Right & Low Round Kick (diary entry)

August 30, 2023 | Diary / Training Notes [ssba]

29.08.2023 Lesson three of the teenage brothers’ Muay Thai course layered in the straight right and the low round kick. We warmed up with some line-work and footwork exercises, gently introducing techniques covered in the previous lesson. All defences were layered onto forward, backward, lateral and pivoting footwork. Teeps were used as dynamic stretching exercises and then we chained on the straight right to the jab. I explained the difference between a straight right and a cross. We also looked […]

Taking the Straight/Cross/Overhand to the Pads (diary entry)

27.07.21 The second part of my client teacher’s preparation for Wednesday night’s live-streaming lesson was another private lesson on boxing. Again, we went through the difference between the straight right and the cross, and we also had time to cover the chopping cross/straight right and the overhand. I ran through each of these punches inspired by Aguello, Louis, Hearns and Marciano. After shadow boxing we took them onto the focus mitts and then I had my client and his son […]

July 22, 2021 | Diary / Training Notes [ssba]

20.07.21 Tuesday night’s first lesson was a pre-class rehearsal for Forest School of Karate. Continuing our experimental lesson last month, they will be streaming me into their lesson and we will be using footage from past masters of certain classic boxing punches. By having this private lesson with their head teacher and his son, they will have extra assistance on the day. Tonight we looked at rear hand variations on punches that go straight to a target. After a warm […]

Straight Right and Crosses (diary entry)

May 4, 2021 | Diary / Training Notes [ssba]

29.04.21 Thursday night saw one of my teacher consultancy clients book me for his second lesson in Western Boxing for Martial Arts Cross Training. Tonight we focused on the right cross. This was an online virtual training lesson conducted via Zoom. However, he had his son present, which allowed me to coach them both on the focus mitts. At the beginning I explained the rather sinistrist attitude towards southpaws that described a basic rear straight punch as “straight right”. However, […]

Isolating and Integrating the Cross (diary entry)

January 15, 2020 | Diary / Training Notes [ssba]

13.01.20 Monday night’s lesson was the second hour of my client’s third Muay Thai/Kickboxing course. This course is focused on developing better punching. Tonight we looked at the cross (straight right) and how to develop its power as well as its place in various combinations. We began with some simple callisthenic and dynamic warm-up exercises, specific to Muay Thai. Then we moved onto mirror footwork and revising the basic and step-jab. This was done with just hand wraps […]
