Muay Thai yesterday involved striking the Thai pads. Mostly punches, with the occasional kick on command. While the other trainees continuously switched striker and pad-holder, I worked with coach Tyler and hit the entire hour. Started to get tired but kept on like a machine. Am making significant strides in recruiting my upper-back when striking. Also less flat-footed when throwing, which automatically cues my hips more. All of that comes together to help with stamina. Still getting mixed up when combos get too long. 

Switched to southpaw eventually. I actually learned to strike southpaw but switched many years ago. Awkward but competent. 

Switch kicks felt ugly, but can probably chalk that up to fatigue. Only kicked at the end of class.
