Harry and I finally got the time to connect through martial arts again.
In the middle of the Defense class Harry took me out so that I can work with him because he is my primary teacher when it comes to classes at the dojo.
From the start Harry had us pushing our way to our limits.
He had me and Tony running five minute rounds. It's hard to try to hit a bag for one minute straight then drop down to push ups and get right back up to hit the bag again.
Everytime after we got up from being in the push up position he would change up the way he wanted us to hit the bags. First just jabs with the left hand, then jab-cross, after that we would follow a jab-cross, with a knee. The knee would come from whichever foot was farthest back. He would yell for us to switch our feet sometimes and man you better switch them feet fast or else...
But the hardest part was when he had us on the two machines. On the first machine we had to lay on our stomach and your head would be facing down in a decline. So you put your hands on the handle at the bottom of the machine and your feet is above your body. On that machine you push yourself up, then you let your weight come down and repeat until you can't no more. On top of that you he will call for us to switch to the other machine which was way easier in the sense of position and movement. You sit down and pull the bar that's hanging above your head. You bring it down to your chest and let it go back so that you can repeat.
I love how intense it was but man... I need more practice.
