As part of my renewed efforts to get fit, I attended both the kick-boxing and kung-fu class tonight. Now very tired.

The kick-boxing was tough. Started with a set of circuit training exercises for warming up, with plenty of star jumps, press ups, leg raises, then a long session of pad work, with the usual combinations; jab, cross, hook; push kick, jab cross; thigh kick, jab cross etc. etc. Did a bit of ring work with our contender, who has a fight coming up in a month or so. Soon got very knackered. I was expecting my legs to suffer most, but my arms seemed extremely weak tonight. I was feeling very tired before I left the house this evening, and was hoping that hot cross buns and two cups of tea would be enough to get me going.

The kung-fu class was even harder, as I was knackered before I started. Did some form work again, then conditioning exercises, such as grinding arm, chy sau etc. then applications for the two person fighting form, plus a bit of fun with getting out of locks etc.

Now exhausted, and need more liquid before bed. Looking forward to my run tomorrow!
