Hotel: Grand Sahid Jaya

Day 1 (thurs) – Took an Air Asia flight with Shihan and Senpai Muhd @ around 2pm. Did a web chk in before coming to airport. Had vegetarian fried rice on the plane. Arrived @ Sukarno Hatta International Airport. Waited awhile for the Indonesian guest recipient to direct us to a cab. Took cab to hotel. Checked in. Handed over dogi for number sewing and medical report to Acin. Attended tournament briefing.

Day 2 (fri) – Went to gym with Shihan. Played ping pong with Senpai Muhd. He is a mean player! Met Muhd’s friend, Erfan. Another mean ping pong player! Trained awhile with Erfan and Muhd in the aerobics gym. Had onigiri @ City Walk for dinner. Yummy. Indonesian food is cheap due to currency exchg.

Day 3 (sat) – Boarded bus to Indoor Tennis Stadium Senayan. One girl from Bulgaria in my category was the tallest person in the whole stadium! Fought Kazakhstan fighter around noon or 1pm. Lost. Things to improve on: don’t fight defensive. You will lose even if you punch harder. Also been taking things too easy.
Muhd won 2 rounds then hurt his hand in tameshiwari. Couldn’t hold fist after that, otherwise he would’ve gone on to finals, I believe.

Day 4 (sun) – Loitered around city. Walked to shopping mall. Plenty of shopping malls in JKT but not suited to my tastes. Original plan was to visit Shihan Sujoto but last minute cancel.

Day 5 (mon) – Took flight back to KUL. Miss KUL. Listened to Shihan and Muhd talk about Kyokushin fighters while munching on fried chicken. Yummy.

You fight very well in class, yet freeze when you enter an official competition ring.
You planned to do combinations, yet your punches/kicks seem to have no effect on your opponent.
Some people thrive under fight stress, some just turn into jell-o, esp when they hyperventilate.

The below article was written with boxing in mind, but applies to any fight situation:

You have a gameplan, you know how you want the fight to go and when the time comes you head out of the dressing room and walk toward the ring with crowds of people cheering and screaming on both sides of you. Suddenly, as you realize you’re headed into combat, your pulse becomes a little quicker. Your mind starts thinking irrational thoughts and is no longer focused.

Training for head punch tournament started last Wednesday 23 June 2010.
We started off by strengthening our necks to absorb the impact of punches. Neck strengthening drills were interesting, most of them partner providing resistance.

On Friday, we practiced some head punch techniques: upper cut, roundhouse punch or hook, side stepping.

Then we suited up and punched each other’s heads with 10oz gloves. For head punches, foot work and head movement are important to evade the attacks.
