Krav Maga Class 53: head movement, overhand right, covering, sparring

TJ’s Thursday morning class. I hurried out after searching vainly for my hand wraps, got gas at Costco (I was very low) and made it early enough to have an emergency bathroom trip. I came into class with a left MCL sprain from 2 weeks ago.

TJ opened the class with requests. I asked to be shown the overhand punch. Thomas wanted to see covering.

We started with shadow boxing, emphasizing head movement. Then we went to shoulder tag. Then back and forth, with calisthenics mixed in. Stretching, etc.

We started with the overhand punch. You throw it by dropping your weight and winging your fist over your head, thumb down toward the ground, into the target. Holding focus mitts for overhand punches is painful! We had a group of 3 people so it was crappy.

We went over covering and countering with the same hand. That was awkward. I didn’t get a chance to practice that, because of the 3 people.

At the end we did sparring. I got a bruise in the center of my forehead from Jeff. At least I didn’t bloody his nose this time.
