Day 13 – Headstands, Jabs, and so much more

Dug’s striking class today covered toe out kicks, jabs, crosses, and front kicks. What happens when you throw all those elements into a mix? Awesome combos.

Kid’s class was all about two of the hardest striking surfaces we’ve got: elbows and knees. Want to see me elbow a giant stuffed penguin? This is the class for you.

The CrossFit skills today were the headstand, the pistol, and the back roll. I won’t tell you what was in the workout, cuz that spoils all the fun.

Don’t do the moves with a goal in mind, simply let your body do the form and let your mind observe. Then, if you observed something you could improve, do the form again and turn that observation into a correction.
