Tonight we had a point fighting class tonight with Mr. Kumar!
Rather than just straight sparring, we did kicking drills before doing workout sparring then some lightning round sparring. It was a great workout.
In terms of my comeback, my cardio felt really good despite coming off a week with really bad cold. My biggest gains have been in cardio and endurance.
Also, I've been stretching like crazy, almost to the point of over-stretching. My left knee seems to have some ligaments on the inside of the knee that are resistant to my stretching routine and giving me some pain.
My training goals from a big picture perspective are to get some really good kicks back in the catalog. You will probably notice in some of my sparring videos that my fights are hand heavy. That is because I'm old and don't have kicks in my sparring catalog just yet.
When you're fighting (sparring) and your opponent knows you won't or can't throw a technique then they don't need to guard against it. I want my opponents to be just as worried about my feet as I do my hands.
