Last Sunday I completed my Group Kick assessment video. I was very fortunate to have more than 20 people come to Bob's Gym and spend time in the studio so I could tape myself teaching a class.
Group Kick takes boxing and mixed martial arts concepts and puts them into a one hour workout. There are ten tracks of music that are themed to a specific style. Some tracks target general moves and technique; some focus on cardio; others put it all together into a "fight."
Overall, the class went well. The goal is to complete the full 10-track program in 60 minutes. I did it in 62 minutes. I had a good crop of new people there so I spent a little extra time making sure everyone understood the strike moves...especially the kicks. Afterwards, everyone stuck around for some snacks and refreshments that Leandra and I provided.
While I am appreciative of everyone who came to the class, there are three people who need to get some special props. Mellissa Renfro, Lexie Jones and Brent Woodard are three of the instructors who have let me do some "student teaching" leading up to this point. If it wasn't for their encouragement and opportunity to work in front of their classes, I probably would not have gotten to this point so quickly.
For those of you who saw my posts about Group Kick, especially my family up in Wisconsin, but never really understood what I was talking about, I have downloaded a couple of videos onto YouTube. Out of the ten tracks, I have included tracks 1-3 & 5-8. I didn't include 4, 9 & 10 because they are not as intense as the ones I have included.
It will be a few weeks until I find out if my assessment is approved. In the meantime, you can see what I did. Enjoy!
Tracks 1 & 2: Warm-up and Box
Track 3: Muay Thai
