This is one of the regular training weeks with me and on your own if you are not able to make a class also training tips for students.

Monday

You should do at least 125 setups and at least 100 pushups for warms up. Continue by doing stretching.

You should then work on kicking techniques also work on kicking drills up to the last kick that you have learned.

Look at each kick that you do and be honest with yourself and see what it would take to make that kick better.

Tuesday

You should do at least 120 setups and at least 100 pushups for warms up. Continue by doing stretching and do a little extra because of all the kicking the day before.

You should then work on your hand techniques that means work on all your blocks and punches that you have learned up to that point. When you work on your blocks and punches make sure you check every block and punch and try to remember what angle and position it should be in.

Wednesday

You should do at least 120 setups and pushups; also do 100 jumping jacks do stretching before and after.

You should finish warming up with kicks and punching techniques. You should then work on forms up to the point where you remember, take time to work on the kicks and punches to the point that they are close to perfection as possible that you can get.

Thursday

You should do at least 120 sit-ups and pushups. You should do stretching to the maximum. Work on fighting techniques all ten of them or up to the point you remember, then work them into the fighting scheme that fits into your style of fighting or what you are accustom to. If you spar each other make sure you watch your control and then watch what mistakes you make verses the good things you do when you do get to spar.

Friday

You should do at least 120 sit-ups and pushups. Do your stretching and then work on all the techniques that you remember, fighting, kicking, and punching. When you finish go over some forms not all at least the last three that you remember. You can make this an easy day if you wish, but do get something accomplished.

Training tips for students

Developing Speed with Front Leg Offensive or Defensive Side Kicks and Hook Kicks can be also incorporated to this drill. Just swing the bag back/forward for the side kick:

Improving your speed with front leg Flip Kick/Snap Round Kick

 While standing in front of a Punching Bag while swinging left to right.

Time the bag as it comes to the center executing the kick, creating a pop sound, not stopping the bag but allowing the bag to continue his swinging trajectory.

Do 5 sets of 10 Reps with each Leg (Remember, front leg) back leg should retain 90% of your body weight. Do not step, or lock your base/standing knee or move your base leg as you execute the kick. Keep your head and body steady, no upward or downward movement. After mastering this kick without allowing your body to create the uo and down motion... add a Back Knuckle to the technique as you execute the kick. Good luck....

Special Tip 

Do not stop doing until the reps are complete, even if you reach muscle failure. If you reach muscle failure at an early stage of work out, start with 5 sets of 7 reps and so on adjust reps to your capabilities and work your way up. Enjoy, you will love it.

After the kicking drills, Do Isometrics, 3 sets of 5 reps with each leg, on a Side kick motion. Raise knee, extend leg, lock knee, hold for a count of 8, bring in slowly, place down...wait 10 seconds, repeat to the 5 reps. Then next leg.

Wait 30 to 45 seconds between sets.

Do not be afraid, your leg and bottom is going to feel a lovely burning sensation, that is good....
