Despite still being unable to control my heart rate, there has been a major kickboxing development.
I am able to lift my leg and KICK THE BAG! I'm not talking grazing the bottom of the bag and -- by the grace of God not falling over -- I mean, shoe laces square in the middle of the bag on my side and slap kicks!
I am not sure when it started, but I noticed it last night in the middle of some kicking drills. Suddenly, I wasn't just swinging my leg out from the knee; I was lifting my leg from my abs, through my butt and actually extending out, planting a hell of a kick (If I do say so myself!) And of course as soon as I noticed I was doing it, I wasn't able to do it anymore . . . .all was fine until I engaged the brain!
A word of caution, however, when demonstrating your success to others: NEVER, NEVER do kickboxing show and tell on someone who is not paying full attention to you.
My brother and I were walking into a restaurant after my class to celebrate his 30th birthday, and I was a little too eager to show off my moves. He failed to understand that it required him to stop walking. Rather than gain his admiration, I gave him a birthday kick to the crotch.
My kick, apparently, is VERY effective. . . .
