I got this weird 24 hr. cold so I didn't workout Monday.
Yesterday I passed my level 3 Muay Thai test. It was harder than my last test and I almost passed out from doing the timed drills. On a funny note, I was paired up with this guy and he was a little smaller and I thought he was good because he seemed to know a lot of others in the gym that have been there for a while and I see him train with others, separate from the main class. Well I was wrong. The head instructor and one of the Pro fighters were yelling at him to pick up the pace every 5-10 minutes. Now the funny part. Half way through the test we had to do punching drills and end with a kick to the head. Your partner is suppose to block it. Well second set I do I throw the kick to his head, at medium speed, and the guy doesn't really block. So something right out of a Van Dam movie I stop right before contact and leave my leg up there. The Head Instructor sees this and yells at me, "Dave, KICK HIM IN THE F@!#ING HEAD NEXT TIME IF HE DOESN'T BLOCK!!" I was thinking man he is really pissed at this guy for not giving 100%. So after a little bit, guess what I did? I didn't knock him out or anything. I just slowed down the kick before it nailed him in the head.
Next Monday I have tryouts of the Muay Thai Fight Team. This should be very exciting. I can't wait.
On a side note, I'm going out of town for a couple of days for a wedding and won't be updating till Sunday, maybe Monday, don't worry the kettlebell is coming with ;) . I know I've been promising the grappling vids, and they will be up, I've just been real busy lately.
