20kg press: 1L/3R for 2 sets
24kg snatch: 5L/5R on 1:30 for 10 sets.
This was hard today, I got pretty winded. (It's not supposed to be easy, anyway ;) Had the benefit of Sifu's sharp eye: I'm shifting my weight just a bit too far forward at the punch. Focus on staying firmly on heels throughout, keep midsection compressed, think about attaining a perfect vertical line from bell to shoulders to hips to heels. It will just take some diligent practice to get that "feeling" dialed-in and programmed.
24kg arm bar on L and R. Hips touch both sides... nice. Felt strong, felt good.
24kg press on R, couple singles.
Kickboxing Lesson #2
Notes:
Keep good stance (don't let feet cross or become too narrow).
Lean into, not away, from an advance.
Drive punches with hips, lead with knees.
Every punch should prepare for the next.
Really shift weight to back foot on left hook, to front foot on right hook, and sink down.
Pivot foot on kicks! ALL the way. Even more. 180 degrees. Work on this.
Knee up, not in.
Lead with knee.
Open hips.
Keep sufficient distance.
SUCH a fun lesson. Love it!

Squeezing glutes and connect your shoulder to power source, ones you learned during RKC is useful for punching mechanism.
I hold a kettlebell class at martial art studio and emphasize on that.
Opening hips is absolutely vital. If I read this correctly, it is equivalent of front squat descending movement.
Cool, Taikei, thanks for these tips. Can't wait for the next lesson...
