We then worked some ring generalship skills. Junior students worked pushing and stepping their way out of the corner while their partner tried to block them. The key was to put pressure in one direction and pivot step in the other. The senior students used timing set up the power hand load and spinning techniques while their partners tried to escape by straight jabbing or pivot stepping. We finished with 2 x 2 min rounds of working the Superman, Heatseeker, and Crane Technique trick plays. Juniors worked kick, tiip, and knees respectively during these rounds. We finished with a 4 minute round of alternating minutes of 3 lateral jumps and 5 squats or 5 push-ups hold for 15 seconds.
