Fitness Muay Thai

Went for a free trial of 1h fitness class based on real Muay Thai (not the limpish combat class types). It must have been about 7years (wow!) since I last learnt Muay Thai! Today's class was fitness-focused, using MT's punches and kicks, on sandbags, complete with hand tape and gloves, and interspersed with push-ups and sit-ups. As in a typical MT class, the trainer would instruct on the activity, and timed each exercise for a few minutes. The timer would beep, we would get 2min of water break, and then back to a new activity.

Moves were a bit rusty, took a bit of re-programming my coordination. Legs of course red from kicking the sandbag. I was dripping sweat after a while. Ooh the satisfaction of seeing the beads roll off my chin!
