First Twenty Minutes

* Note – I have written these out for an orthodox stance.
We are going to break this down into four five minute chunks where we reset and start a new combination every five minutes. You can add on to the combination every 30 seconds to a minute (whatever feels right). When working on these – focus on movement, changing angles, and different timing. Imagine you have an opponent in front of you and you add on punches to keep them or put them where you want.

For the first five minutes – start with a Jab/Cross.
Add in: Left Hook

Next five minutes – start with Jab/L Hook

Last five minutes – start with Jab/Jab/Cross
Add in: Left Uppercut
Add in: Cross
End with: Jab/Cross

We Are Better Than This…

We have already had one civil war and cannot have another. We need to stop listening to the distracting noise and hate and focus instead on what we do best – bringing good and positive change to the world.
