MMA in Japan

Todays boxing menu shaped up like this.

• 2X3-minute rounds shadow boxing with some knees and elbows
• 2X5minute sounds of focus pads, concentrating on speed and footwork, light
• 2X5minute sparring (50~75%, without headgear)
• 2X5-minute focus pads, concentrating on out-fighting and in-fighting at grappling range + takedown defence
• 2X10 reps from the gaurd to stand position followed by a knee + jab cross
• 2X10 reps of jab cross then burpee jump
• 2.5 mins of gound+pound from standing in the guard and passed guard (knee on the belly + hammerfist)

Normally, to finish we do some core, pushups/hindu pushups, and plyometrics but there was no time today.

A very big thanks to Kanpei Endo of Watanabe Boxing Gym in Gotanda for his excellent advice, training and pad holding!
