Doing well in MMA

I've been doing quite a lot of MMA during the holidays. It was good to really get into it and do some concentrated training! One session I had big problems with my round-kick. Every punch and kick were really good and powerful, but I couldn't get a good round kick going! It frustrated me so much and I got angry and irritated during training. It is quite interesting that I'm reacting that way, but round kicks should be one of my stronger kicks, due to all the tae kwondo I've been doing. The feeling that I just couldn't master this common and simple kick made me go crazy. It was even worse, when Tom gave me a lot of credit for being strong and fast... but "I really needed to work on my round kick". I realised that I was just throwing my leg in a strange bow, not getting any power in my kick, and after practising turning my foot and follow up with the rest of my body it worked out a lot better! There is something with the rotation of the hip (that is a lot easier for girls) that makes the whole thing work. I finally got it, but I need to continue to perfect the kick. It's supposed to be "in the back of your head", and I still need to focus on it to get it right. However, I would say that the whole MMA thing is starting to work out really well for me. I get a lot of credit and I feel that my punches and moves are good. I also enjoy it a lot! It's a great way to get all your aggressions out, and it is a good feeling to totally concentrate and not think about school for one hour. That it is a great work out is clear after one 3 minute round I'm sweating bullets!
