LI: To learn boxing combinations. This week we had boxing in class with Pax. This was the last boxing session. First we got into partners. My partner was Alayah. In our partners we decided who was partner one and who was partner two. Alayah was partner two and I was partner one. Partner one had to put on the boxing gear and partner two had to get two pool noodles. After that we moved onto our first combination. The combination was jab, cross, guard, right uppercut, left hook. Partner two had to hold the pool noodles, so that partner one could box. The second combination was jab, jab, cross, bridge, lefthook. Partner two did the same thing. The last combination was jab, cross, lefthook, roll lefthook. After that, we swapped over. We did the same combinations, but before doing the combinations, we did a warm up. Partner two had to do ten punches and a burpee. After that we moved onto the combinations. Once partner two had a turn, we put the gear away. We revised the combinations from last week and this week. I had a lot of fun boxing.

LI: To learn defenses with counters. This week we had boxing in the hall with Pax. First we started off with a warm up. For the warm up there was four taggers that had pool noodles. The taggers had to try and tag people with the pool noodle. We could only tag people from their stomach to feet. If someone got tagged they had to do a burpee. For the first round the taggers were Angelica, Mojtaba, Lorenzo and I. When we finished playing one round we gave the pool noodles to someone else on the second round. 

After we did the warm up, we got into partners. My partner was Alayah. We got ourselves into partner one and partner two. I was partner one. Partner one had to put on the gloves and the boxing gloves. Partner two got the two pool noodles and helped partner one put on the boxing gloves. 

We then moved onto our defenses with counters. The first defense was guard, jab and cross. Partner two had to hit us with both the pool noodles while partner had to guard then jab and cross. 

The next defense with the counters was the bridge, move forward and the cross. Partner two had to try and hit us again. 

The third defense was slip, cross, left hook and cross. Before we did slip, cross, left hook and cross we learnt how to do the slip, because last week we didn't have enough time. To do the slip you have to get into your rock position and move your body to the left of right, so that when someone hits you, they hit your shoulder. Partner two had to do the same thing with the pool noodles.

For the last defense we did roll, cross, left or right uppercut and cross. Partner two had to put the pool noodles on our shoulder, so we could roll. Partner two also had to put it vertically, so we could do the attacks.

Once we did the defenses, we went back to class.

This week for boxing we had Pax. First we went over the three commandments, which is respect, discipline and safety. Respect is I will respect my coach, equipment and peers, discipline is I will show up to every kiwi sport and give my 100% and safety is I will not hurt others and I will practise boxing with safety. Then we had to put on the gloves under 90 seconds. This time we all wore the gloves under 90 seconds. After that we got into a circle and did the two punches we learnt from last week, the jab and the cross. We did each 10 times. Once we did that we learnt how to walk forward and back in our rock position. To walk forward you have to take a step forward with your left foot, then your right foot. The same with the back, but the opposite way. After that we got into partners. My partner was Sulia. Then we learnt how to do the hook and the uppercut. To do the hook you have to get into your rock position. Then you have to twist your body and you also have to twist your foot. After that you have to punch 90 degrees sideways. For the uppercut you have to twist your body and twist your leg. Instead of punching sideways you have to punch up. Once we learnt the hook and the uppercut we practised a few time. We then did combinations. This was hard for me because we had to do it fast. After that we said goodbye to Pax and went back to class.

For respect we had to say I will respect my coach, equipment and peers. For discipline we had to say I will show up in every kiwi sport and I will give my 100%. Lastly for Safety we had to say I will not hurt others and I will practise boxing with safety. If we broke one of the rules we had to do one burpee for the first week, if we break it again we have to do two burbees, it goes on and on.

After that we did a warm up. We played a game called knee tag. For knee tag we had to try and tag each others knees. Everyone was in. I didn't get tagged by the knee because I defended myself from other people tagging me

Once we did the warm up, we had to wear boxing gloves under 90 seconds. The boxing gloves were hard to wear. Some of us didn't wear the boxing gloves under 90 seconds, so we all had to do a burpee. After the burpee we got into partners. My partner was Sulia.

After that we learnt the rock. For the rock we had to lift up our right leg, move it back and place it down. We also had to bend our knees and we had to put the boxing gloves on our face, but under our eyes. Then one of us had to push the other person who was in the rock. We did that to see if we would fall.

Once we did that we learnt the jab. For the jab we had to get into our rock position. Then we had to punch straight with our left arm, while our right arm was under our eye to keep us safe. After that we did the jab jab, where we had to punch with both our arms, one at a time. Then we learnt the cross. For the cross we had to get into our rock position. Then we had to punch with our right arm and at the same time our hips had to twist and our right heel had to be lifted up.
