So what are your goals for 2009?

(as well as a few hours of work – thoguh I won’t bore you with that)

The skills work I started off by doing 3 x 3 min rounds of Bas’ Thai Boxing audio.  However, this time when he called out “Defence!” I did an ukemi (front, side, back, etc), defended form the gorund and got up.  That added a whole new dimension to the warm up and I reckon I’m gonna try adding ukemi and throws into my conditioning routines some more.  After all – its what I’m training for!!
