Term 3: Session 4 NON Contact Boxing

Last week the Year 11 girls took part in their fourth and final NON Contact Boxing session. The students have been learning the different techniques and skills needed in Boxing and Kick Boxing.

They have been working on;
Boxing:- Stance (Orthodox and Southpaw)
- Use of Jab
- Right hand
- Uppercuts
- Reaction times
- Body Shots
- Right Hook

Kick Boxing:
- Snap Kick
- Knees
- Right and Left Roundhouse Kick
- Front Kick
To recap the Right and Left Roundhouse Kick, the students performed the practice below in pairs;

One pupil started on the mats with Boxing Gloves on and their partner stood 10metres away from them with a Kick Pad. The practice was all about reaction times and reacting to a visual or auditory stimulus. They were;

- Clapping.

- Nodding of the Head.

- Finger Snapping.

- Arm Striking down.

The pupils on the mats had to react from different positions on the mat and sprint to their partner. When they reached their partner they completed 5 Right Leg Roundhouse Kicks.

The positions were;

1. Standing on the mat facing their partner.

2. Sat down on the mat, legs crossed and arms folded.

3. Laid down on their backs on the mat, legs pointing towards their partner, facing the ceiling and eyes closed.

Their partners then rotated and they now had to complete 5 Left Leg Roundhouse Kicks.

4. Laid down on their fronts on the mat, legs pointing away from their partner, arms by their sides and palms facing the ceiling.

5. Sat down on the mat facing away from their partner, legs crossed and arms folded.

Last one, the pupils then had to deliver 1, 2's to the Kick Pad for 10 Secs non stop!

6. Standing on the mat facing their partner and with their eyes closed.

The roles were then reversed and the stages were repeated once through.

The pupils then moved into partner pad work and the following sequences were practiced;
1st:



The sequence was practiced 5 times through and then the pupils were allowed to choose 2 guest additions to the sequence.

2nd:

The sequence was practiced 5 times through and then the pupils were allowed to choose 3 guest additions to the sequence.

Excellent attitude and effort from all the girls throughout the 4 weeks!!.

Will be looking forward to this Thursdays session with a pupils who have been taking part in either Swimming or the Gym!!

Well done girls and keep up the hard work!
