Kickboxing – Boxing
Fitness Challenge:Â 100 Burpees
Muay Thai – Low Kicks
Low kicks are designed to attack the legs of our opponent, which can disrupt their offensive rhythm while inflicting significant damage. A good low kick will allow us to eventually open up other attacks to the body and head. This week we look at the outside low kick and the inside low kick on offense, as well as how to properly defend and counter the low kick on defense!

Thoughts
When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment, he needs help. That’s the message he is sending.
