So my little toe is killing me from turning in on my roundhouse kicks so they arent happening.

Afternoon session

Jog to the end of the street and back
3x50 knees on the bag
4 rounds shadow
4 rounds bag work
3 rounds boxing / focus mitts
2 rounds uppercut
10mins clinching with James from england 65kg ox of a kid.

So now after both sessions my right knee is skinless, my left little toe in pain and my neck is killing me from a bad nights sleep combined with clinching. Just as you get to the next stage of conditioning theres new issues.

All part of the game I guess.

Its pretty crazy seeing the level of skill here. I've watched some of the guys here train for 4 hours straight with out realising who they were.

Andrei Kulebin from Kick Fighter Belarus

This guy is the same age as me and as per below won the 2007 I-1 tournament. Its insane watching him train. I think he said hes had over 100 professional fights already!



Steve Wakeling

Another machine to watch training but I think he has gone home now.



Hopefully tomorrow will be okay albeit a bit limited. Time to perfect my teep and switch round kick. Also we have been joined by a fellow aussie! woohoo not just brits and swedes even though they are an awesome bunch of mates now. Ling from Sidyongtong Melbourne!
