15 JUL: fight skills and drills + sparring

We had three of us today: Smitty, Brock, and me. Smitty just had a surgical procedure, so I held mitts for him. We worked many rounds of just light drills to focus on getting the techniques down. Brock worked heavy bag during this time. Altogether it was 12 rounds of 2min/30sec.

After that, we did some mitt drills involving slips and counters. That was about 6 rounds of 2min/30 sec.

We finished off with 4 rounds of sparring for Brock and I. We took it light and focused on him staying calm and in control during defense. Countering is one thing. Standing there and covering or blocking and staying controlled and relaxed is a whole other skill.

All in all, it was a great workout.
