Fight training for the New Breed - it was a different type of circuit, a three station circuit. It began with 4 rounds of hard fast shadow boxing. Then split into three groups - Group 1. worked on light sparring in the ring, working specifically on slipping and countering. Group 2. worked on the pads - hand and feet drills. Group 3. Worked on tough cardio, drills and floor exercises. After all the groups had finished 2x2 minute rounds they changed and moved to the next station. The class was a 1hour non-stop high-octane session.

Next floor exercises, by-way of sit-ups and sprints culminating with fast boxing and kicking basics.
