Well said, Gav – hitting the pads is necessary, but far from sufficient… hitting pads the same way day after day just wears out our joints.

true. And its also about expressing ones self. So long as the same tape doesnt keep playing over and over again.

I totally agree. It wasn’t until i started teaching that i really learnt consciously what i was doing unconsciously. And was able to keep working on it.
Its important to hit pads but its very important to learn movement of the legs and directing the hips to the power. And dropping your body weight for big power and staying on your toes to move quicker.

When i was doing a lot of Toastmasters, I could do this at times. The right words just flowed without any effort. It was like they were the exact words that I was suppose to express at that time. Until you gave me illustration of the girl playing the music, I found it very difficult to explain. I agree that you need to practice all the time to achieve this state.

His closing quote was very powerful. If you want to see why I believe that it did not align with his main message, check out my speech analysis of Sir Ken’s speech here:

Cameron, that’s exactly why I’m grateful that the guys in the gym here don’t even try to hold pads for me anymore… it’s so much safer to just find some standing bags, and get into proper padwork when I’m training with someone that knows what they’re doing.

Funny thing is that it really isn’t that hard to hold pads. I even taught Wendy how to do it when I was teaching Muay Thai over here… took a whole 10 minutes. The trouble with the slam/ combat aerobics classes is that the instructors often (mostly?) don’t know what they’re doing, so they pass on poor technique to their participants… the get away with it because most of the class aren’t strong enough to do any serious damage to themselves.

Looking forward to holding pads with you again!
