Just some information and holding and hitting pads for the pad workouts.

When holding the pads have a over hand grip on pads. Thumbs out.

When catching punches, push in slightly with the pads but not too hard that it hurts your partner's hands. Always keep your eyes on your partner so you can begin to read their body movement.

Jab. Lead punch. Shoulder lifts. Elbow out slightly to protect from kicks. Transfer weight onto front leg lifting back heel. Rear hand up protecting chin.

Rear cross. Rotate hips transferring weight forward. Rear heel lifts and turns out(in line with foot which is pointing forward). Lead hand guards chin.

Lead hook. Transfer the weight slightly back and rotate the lead foot in(heel out). Power come from rotating body and hips. Make sure it's a hooking motion and not a diagonal jab. Start with the elbow in line with the wrist.

Rear round kick. Leg stays almost straight and goes back the exact same path as it goes out(to start with) so you don't collapse the knee on impact. Same side arm swings back but shoulder high. Other arm guards. Pivot on the ball of the supporting foot to open the hips.

Lead step round kick. Step back foot across and forward slightly before doing the lead kick(similar points as for rear kick above)

Lead switch kick. Quickly do a switch step then kick.

Rear long knee. Drive the knee up and forward keeping on the ball of the supporting foot. Lean body back, hands up.
Pad person uses one (opposite) pad to guide the knee into belly pad. If no belly pad then use a cross pad position to block.

Lead long knee. Big step though with rear leg before the knee. Long knees you have to really commit to them.

Elbows. Come slightly over with the elbow. Pad person really pushes in.
