kickboxing

Went for the 2nd kickboxing session of the new sem yesterday. Some of the seniors have graduated so a few familiar faces are missing =(. However, plenty of freshies have also signed up so its all good :D

As this is my second semester in the club, i am now classified as a senior. Woohooo! hahaha!

some of the members hanging around before the actual session began..the dude in the white shirt is a junior who as you can see, so berkobar2 wanna punch ppl.Hahaha! well actually he's practising cross-jabs which the seniors were showing..

The instructer only comes next week, so the juniors were put through the basic drills by senior members whereas the remaining seniors were allowed to do whatever we wanted(related to kickboxing ofcourse...)

So,I had a light contact sparring session with Casey from the USA

The rules: No punches to the head and controlled punches to the body(as i wasnt wearing gloves)..kicks with full power are allowed to the body, legs and head. Normal Chinese kickboxing regulations also apply la eg. no elbows and knees.No hitting the balls(MOST IMPORTANT!) and neck region. haha!

we tried to control our power so tht no one got hurt too badly as this was supposed to be "light contact"..

but as you can see, we get carried away sometimes..Unfortunately,the 24 solar drums were practising in the same venue...their traditional chinese drum beats didnt help coz it only added to the combative atmosphere =.='

dunno what made me do that stance..now tht i see it, it looks kinda stupid hahaha!

one of my favourite moves, the leg catch..as casey put it " you catch the leg, you win".In a real sparring session or fight, you normally kick his remaing leg and he'll drop like a rag doll..it's impossible to balance urself from this position.But as this was light contact, we just let go if we managed to catch each other's leg.

end of a great sparring session..picked up a few new things from casey coz he's much more experienced as he's been fighting for quite some time. Thanks to Chun Hao for the pics!

here are some random pics from tht day..the guy in blue shorts is Bryan..my regular full-contact sparring partner.He's observing one of the juniors do his jab-crosses.

the meeting of two presidents..Jon(left), president of Inti Aikkido club, and our very own Kickboxing president(right). Jon decided to come for the intro class to see if he likes it or not hahaha! Join us man!

our president demonstrating some jabs..

Lai lai lai..Lelong murah. Single guys up for grabs..low maintenance,good investment for the future. All are willing to fight with their lives to protect their loved ones HAHAHA!!!Jon, myself and Chun hao..the 3 DSCAU sem 3 buddies in kickboxing.

Im glad that im kickboxing again after the sem break. I look forward to the thursday night full contact sparring sessions as well as using the punching bag, and kick pads.muahaha!

and if chun hao and i are elected as committee members, we might propose a Mixed Martial Arts contest between the Chinese Kickboxing Club and the TaeKwonDo ppl..tht should be fun hahaha!Since there seems to be some kind of bad blood between the two clubs.LOL!

Well thts all for now, thanks for reading. I'll post again as soon as im free,Cya!
