Due to a technical glitch we are unable to show the videos of fights 3 to 7; apologies for those fighters who won’t be able to see their own performance. Here are videos 1, 2 and 8, others to follow:
We finally managed to process and publish the videos from this victory of the combined kickboxing clubs of both universities of Cambridge, challenging and defeating Bath University Kickboxing Club. Enjoy and leave comments:
Bill “superfoot” Wallace retired in the early eighties as undefeated world champion in the middle weight of full contact kickboxing: his combat strategy was always based on fantastic kicking techniques that often caught by surprise his opponents and knock them out. Wallace was not just good and superfast in kicking but he could shoot double of triple kicks with a single leg, using these techniques in the same way most boxers faint punching techniques.
Apart from his obviously amazing experience as a martial artist Wallace has a master in Sport Science that further qualifies him to advise people about stretching for flexibility. He was a true precursor of innovative stretching excercises and applications like the one decribed in the video below.
It shows here how to improve flexibility for side kicks (and it equally applies to round and hook ones): good news is that we at CARISMA regularly do a very similar (simplified) version during our classes, so it’s good to learn the extra movements we can add.
Another good result with two winners for CARISMA at the competition held in Bury St.Edmunds on 3 October 2010.
Here are the fights in the order they happened:
So far we have been lucky this summer: as usual all Sundays of July and August we (try to) train outdoor. Historically we managed to get about 5-6 out of 8-9 Sundays in any given year. Summer 2010 has been good and we managed to get all Sundays outdoor this year.
Yesterday lesson was no different if not that at about 6 o’clock it started raining. It was obviously too late traying relocating the lesson and, at the same time, the 9 CARISMA members at the lesson seemed so focussed on their training that they carried on kicking each other; luckily within less that 10 few minutes it stopped. See them in this clip as they are training while rain is pooring down:
Toward the end of the lesson the sun came out so the lesson completed with and nice and relaxing conditioning training 🙂 of which you can see a simple example from Heley and Aaron:
