UNBRIDLED TRUTH

And finishing catching up. Monday   Muay Thai class This class was a head-to-head back-and-forth defense class, which are always welcome from my perspective, since it's never not nice to get some practice hitting other humans.

Tuesday   Muay Thai class This was a boxing class. We focused on short, practical sequences. I felt pretty solid about it overall, which was to be expected because I think my kicks are what I'm worst at anyway. Wednesday   Muay Thai class This class focused specifically on lead

Late posting this one. I've been in a bit of a funk. Monday   Muay Thai class This was a simple grinder class to get some work in after a big snowstorm over the weekend. I think I kept up well and had a fairly solid performance overall. It also seemed like I had my partner regret holding pads for my low kicks by the end, which always feels good. Overall, an unremarkable but generally fine session. Tuesday   Muay Thai class This class was a basic kick review, with some pun
