Tuesday night boxing:

Worked on distance control with a partner using the plastic rings outside. One person takes 3 steps forward, throws a combo with the lead foot inside the ring to indicate fighting range, and then steps out, allowing the other person to go, all while circling each other around the ring as if we're sparring. After switching partners every round the final pair I was in was with Dominic, my Muay Thai coach's uncle. He is not in shape and has to take breaks sometimes, but works hard. After this drill, we donned body and hand shields. Combo we worked on with this gear was a right-hand lead to the body, left hook to the body, and left hook to the "head" (or in this case, the hand shield). Partner had some very hard body shots that I felt through the shield, especially with my slim torso at this weight.

Really digging Tuesday late classes with this coach. The time of 7:30pm-8:30pm feels sweet when I get home from work and have extra time to make a nice meal and relax before class, but expectedly sucks to get home at nearly 9.
