Oct 22 - twist 'em out
★ Twist those feet especially for the right cross. Don't step and lean in so much on the jab because then you can't extend and get power on the cross.
★ keep the jab higher at chin level
★ when hooking try turning the hand so the palm is perpendicular to the floor, or try hitting with the two lead knuckles.
I got my hips stretched out today, gawdamn it was so painful I wanted to puke.

Oct 19 - tricks
★when you evade, always parry as well
★parry with the same hand to just parry, use the opposite to return something
★There are 3 leg tricks, (err about that)...1, is like the Matrix - where you bring the leg slow to bring up the guard and slide through underneath for a sweep 2. 3. I forget
★switch, bring the left leg up like you're going to kick, then push it back in a superman motion and hit with a straight left. Twist the hand in the appropriate direction to break through the guard...I think I'll call this 'the Warhead' :) for now.
★try jabbing and hooking more like David Tua
I won the push up contest yesterday, then won the 'iron man' today doing plank. I was waiting for it to go down to the last 2 then let the other guy win but he dropped out too quick. Then I found out after that people were trying to beat me because I won the push up contest.....wtf.....
I won a sports drink. Freud would have a f**king field day with this pic.

31 SECONDS
this is from an online article about trading psychology, but it made me think of Muay Thai...
Some people do this through constant and unrelenting affirmations which they practice on a regular basis several times a day until the messages get through. It takes approximately 21 days of consistent and dedicated practice to change a habit. It takes 21 days of constant, dedicated repetition for one positive message to get entrained into your nervous system.
Too bad you couldn't do things in 31 seconds....
This makes me think of stance and technique
What is required to change your belief system about yourself is to truly see yourself as successful. It is like taking a photograph of yourself right now and then stepping back and looking at how you would like it to be if you were living up to your full potential. For beginners, try this simple experiment: Right now, pay attention to how you are sitting in your chair, the look on your face, how your shoulders are positioned, your posture and demeanor, and how you are feeling about yourself. Be radically honest about it. Take a snapshot of it in your mind. Now - stand up and walk away from the chair to the other side of the room. Look at the empty chair and picture yourself sitting in that chair as the person you would like to be. Picture how you would look and feel if you had everything you wanted. Keep taking snapshots of success in your mind. Keep doing it. Now, walk back to your chair, sit down and be that snapshot of success and fulfillment and true esteem of yourself. How does that feel?

Oct 13 - remember remember
Remember in sparring to practice what you learned !!! (dumbass!)
★ After the right swing, swing the leg back and hit with a right cross instead of the left hook
★ don't push straight ahead after a combo, push to the side and slide and swing / combo away
★ when you see the left hook land swing kick
★ after a clinch push off and hit a couple of times
What his push kick in the first/second verse, pretty bad ass.

☆ Time the jab or response coming in and hit back with an uppercut and cross
☆ return after receiving a kick
☆ watch the shoulders for hints of movement
☆ watch the feet, if they are moved too close he can't move properly so attack

Oct 5 - dig
☆ When punching the bag, punch it and make sure it stays out, and keep it out to strengthen the shoulders, same thing after hitting with a kick, hold it out.
☆3 elements of something
1. control
2. intuition
3 I'll get back to this :)
☆ Swing those hips when kicking, it really works (adds power and whip).
☆ throwing hooks to the body, dig with the palms up.
Reminds of this band I saw at Ozzfest
