boxing match

I never tot in my life would i witness a boxing match... the wierdest part is .. its in australia.. and the astornishing part is - ringside. I see the boxers up close.. blood on their faces.. blood on their shins.. i am thinking of going for the next amatuer fight next year.. while.. its sorta of well protected all round.. =) so it can knee and be knee at a reduced impact.. its quite an experience thou.. seeing how the professional putting the techniques thru.. The best part is - my instructor is inside!

Clinching

Clinching is one good technique that was practice today. U supposed to lock opponent's head and prevent him from doing tt to you. Pivot on your elbows, therefore, both of ur arms should be inside of his. Swing him to make him fall, or to knee him.

I was shorter than the guy.. so heres a few tips:
-stand tall, look up (tip toe if need be)
-bear hug and throw him if necessary

Kneeing

Today's lesson was tiring.. Longest combination was: Jab-cross-left uppercut-right cross -right kick - left kick - right elbow -3 x knee..

Also, Mick and Ross stayed back and taught me how to knee properly.. must swing your knee inwards.. like cocked-knee and then swing.. also, have to skip a little.. =)
