Muay Thai yesterday evening. Small class, only three other people (and they were all related). Mondays seem to be like this, but in general I've noticed very few consistent trainees.

Warm-ups were changed up a bit. Immediately got on the bike and did a mile before doing the usual jogging, skipping, inchworms, etc. Got right into Thai pad work, with me starting out striking. Partner was the big guy from sparring (today on Tuesday my nose and front teeth still hurt from Friday). Began by throwing a 1, check the holder's kick, right kick. Eventually added a 2 after the 1 and then some other combos I don't remember. Left kick is much improved. It's still a little ugly but it's actually a kick now, and makes that satisfying snap on the pads. Before I was so tight I was feebly raising my left leg up to make any kind of contact with them. I've been doing stretches everyday that consist of going up against a wall, lying on my back with my legs in the air against the wall, and spreading them open. Good way to watch movies on my tablet and stretch at the same time.

We finished up with rounds on the heavy bag. One person at a time would work in with the coach holding Thai pads. I embarrassingly didn't know what a 6 was. Going to memorize all the numbers. Got smacked a few times for not having my guard high enough.

Afterwards the coach talked about how he tried to throw us off several times by changing things up from how we usually do things. I dug it. He recommended we watch clips of Mayweather in the gym training others.

I hope class size gets bigger.
