MMA 1,2,and 3

The past three weeks at Columbia martial arts has been a spectacular experience, it reminded me when i went to judo a few years ago and it was a great for stress. What i learned in the first session was proper striking and form which was important to know if i ever encountered anything in real life. My favorite experience in that class was kicking the pads, which made me wonder if people made the pads to sound explosive to encourage the person practicing.

In the second session we reviewed the striking we did in the first class by pairing up and strapping pads to our arms and putting them in different positions to mix up strike combinations. Doing that was my favorite experience of the class because i realized how slow my reactions were. In the second half of that class we learned how to do a choke and also how to counter it.

On my  third and most likely last session, the whole class was grappling which i thought was most satisfying experience out of all the three sessions put together, because at the end of the class the instructor Goldie had us do one on one matches in front of the class. My match was very exhausting but definitely the best part out of this whole experience.
