So during today's class I practiced my high kicks for the first time. A high kick is where you extend the kick up to your opponent's face, rather than a traditional body blow. Anyway, I had never actually tried to perform such a feat until today. And let me tell you, I CAN KICK PEOPLE IN THE HEAD. This might not seem like a big deal, but it feels totally awesome and not a lot of people have that kind of flexibility.
I've also sort of developed this reputation for being flexible in a lot of funny ways. For instance, I can put both of my legs behind my head. (Work readers, the only reason I have not performed this in the office is because I have this habit of falling on my face when I attempt this. I'll save this for the next time we are at
This got me thinking..could my training translate into new and exciting opportunities? Could I one day be able to do a successful cartwheel? Or better yet, dunk a basketball? On an official sized hoop!?!??!! (Yes, I dominate fisher price slam dunk contests).
I'll keep everyone posted on this. I'm going to try and start playing more basketball to see if this Muay Thai thing has helped my athleticism and/or basketball skillz. For all the ball I play, my game has developed to the following skills:
1. Hustle on D
2. Rebounding
3. Cutting to the Hoop
I've always liked to set my personal goals high so hopefully I can achieve the following:
1. Ability to finish with my left hand (LOL No, not like that)
2. Getting blocks
3. Breaking defenders off with a quick first step and a left hand dribble
Dream big boys and girls, and get pumped for this year's Tony Regina Basketball Tournament.
Peace & Love,
MKP
