Took a 40 minute nap after work yesterday's and went to Muay Thai. Held the mitts for a new guy and gave him a few basic pointers. On my turn the coach told me my hook is way too wide. It's an adjustment I made after I kept falling short in sparring. A long hook has its place in an arsenal but the biggest correction I need to make is being at the right distance and keeping the trajectory tight like before.

Jammed my thumb from keeping my hand too open. Rookie mistake.

Went through several basic combos and added kicks in before we did cardio circuits. Exercise bike, ab wheel, medicine ball slams, planks, in that order. Last 15 seconds on the bikes and slams were burnout phases. Third time since Saturday I'm doing this. Would rather have 100% technique training but there are a lot of out of shape people here who could benefit from this. Oh well.

Will take today completely off to give my body a break and attend my niece's graduation.
