Must Thai yesterday right after work. Two usual coaches are still on vacation. Filling in was the assistant coach who I've worked with a few times before within normal classes. Class size today was just 3 others. Worked various drills on the shield. 1-2, switch kick. Very simple. Kicking the shield at its various angles is a little bit of a challenge for me, but I'm not sure if that's my fault for not correcting how my partner held it. Didn't hurt my toes once and aimed well, though. Eventually added a 2-3-2 after the kick and ended with a kick on the other side. Class ended with ab work.

Talked to the coach after and it turns out he used to go to the AKA on Hillsdale, the same one that was my first school ever back in 2006. It's since closed down but he told me about how Arlovski, Velasquez, Phil Davis, and tons of other guys used to go there. Very cool.
