I didn't realize how ugly my shots were until I started watching them on video... by coaching myself through this crap, hopefully I can help coach you through the same... if you're experiencing them. Either way, this is a helpful training lesson.

This workout will make sense if you think of our movements in terms of the “Cardinal Directions”… (North, South, East and West). You will always start facing North, and I will tell you which direction I expect you to be facing by the end of the technique.
If you’re continuing from the last workout and doing a Double Session, then you’re already warm. If you need a warm up, do the following.
1. 3 Minutes Shadow Boxing (focus on incorporating angle changes into the round)
2. 20 Lunges on each leg
3. 20 Shots on each leg
Next, facing North, take a penetration step with your Left foot and pivot immediately on that foot to face East. Repeat the same movement three more times and you should be back to where you started.
Facing North, take a penetration step with your Right foot and pivot immediately to face West. This is the same exact movement but on the other leg. Repeat three times to come back to where you started.
Alternating legs, you are going to execute this movement 60 times.
For example:
1. Left Penetration Step, pivot to face East
2. Right Penetration Step, pivot back to facing North
3. Left Penetration Step, pivot to face East
4. Right Penetration Step, pivot back to facing North
5. Continued for 60 repetitions….
Next…
Facing North, take a penetration step with your Left foot and pivot immediately to face West. Repeat until you’ve returned to North, or as many times as you need to feel comfortable with this movement.
Hopefully you can feel the difference between this movement and the first movement.
Facing North, take a penetration step with your Right foot and pivot immediately to face East. Repeat until you’ve returned to North, or as many times as you need to feel comfortable with this movement.
Alternating legs, you are going to execute this movement 60 times.
For example:
1. Left Penetration Step, pivot to face West
2. Right Penetration Step, pivot back to facing North
3. Left Penetration Step, pivot to face West
4. Right Penetration Step, pivot back to facing North
5. Continued for 60 repetitions….
These should not be completely unfamiliar movements, but if nothing else, I wanted to work on the language of it all.
Round 1.
Left Penetration step at your opponent’s Right Leg, Pivot to face East, Double Jab moving to your Left (North)
Left Penetration step at your opponent’s Left Leg, Pivot to face West with a Left Hook, Right Straight
On the first combination, you’re trying to use your Double Jab to improve your angle. On the second combination, the hook is a “Second Step Hook”, and you should remember from Week 3… or 4… or whenever the “Shirt Grab” trick was covered.
Round 2.
2 Minutes alternating between the following:
Right Penetration step at your opponent’s Right Leg, Pivot to face West, Double Jab moving to your Right (North)
Right Penetration step at your opponent’s Left Leg, Pivot to face East with a Right Hook, Left Straight
While it’s simply the same combination reversed, you will end up in a different stance during your punch combinations. If you’re not used to fighting Southpaw (or Orthodox) this will improve your stand up fighting skill, while obviously building your shots.
Round 3.
2 Minutes alternating between the following:
Left Penetration step at your opponent’s Right Leg, Pivot to face East, Double Jab moving to your Left and adding a Right Roundhouse to the punching combination.
Left Penetration step at your opponent’s Left Leg, Pivot to face West with a Left Hook, Right Straight and a Switch Kick.
Round 4.
2 Minutes alternating between the following:
Right Penetration step at your opponent’s Right Leg, Pivot to face West, Double Jab moving to your Right (North)
Right Penetration step at your opponent’s Left Leg, Pivot to face East with a Right Hook, Left Straight
Now…
Keep in mind all of the details that you know about GOOD shots and go for THREE x 3 Minute Rounds throwing combinations into flawless shots, kicking into shots, and moving from flawless shots into other stuff… and then potentially backinto shots.
