Icefields training log

Might as well start another Log here and see if I can actually keep it up to date.



These days im basically a powerlifter come grappler, I attend a very good local powerlifting gym once or twice a week. I no longer train at my MMA gym of choice, Leicester shootfighters due to distance and work commitments, but I do attend a local MMA gym which whilst nowhere near as good is very cheap and convenient: In addition to a ring, matte area cardio machines and fixed weights it , has a power rack, OL bars and tons of weights and I have a key for it. I still miss the hard competition there was at LSF so in addition to attending 2 MMA classes at the said gym I also attend a very good local judo club (with a few black belts, and a number of coloured belts) and also still train with my kung fu coach once a week for some clinch/sticking hands sparring.

Kung fu class, finally made it down after several weeks off due to family issues and holiday, started with a light warm up then partner work, working against straight punches working reaction, closing off the centre and off balancing them with close range hung gar work. Added in sort hung gar hooks uppercuts and straight, working on using the body to throw the shots, keeping the arms from fully extending so you have some extension left if you need it, and have more cover at close range. Then went over the difference between rolling for the sake of it, and striking and clearing the line when its covered to continue to strike using lung ying principles and strikes.

Then worked some close range sticking/clinch work starting off using hung gar tiger claws and moving into controlling the arms and body, using a slightly wider and less staggered stance which makes leg attacks harder.

Then went through one of the hung gar pillar forms, one of the broad sword sets, and then some sword on sword sticking and movement work.

Followed this with some line work, CLF long arm stuff up and down the hall first, followed by bak mei line work working on breathing, sinking and spitting.

Then did several more rounds of sticking/clinch work with strikes, more free flowing than the clinch work at the start: working on arm drags, duck unders, single and double leg attacks and controlling the neck (single and double neck ties) whilst mixing in knee and low kicks, sweeps and body shots

Finished with some pad work, working lung ying sinking and raising hammer fist strikes, and warmed down with some wing chun chi sao rolling drills.



Later on did 15 minute Yoga with my girlfriend
