One thing i like about Doncaster training is we do something different every time. Well, not very time, but a fair bit of variety at least. On Saturday we did punching exercises with mitts and gloves, which made an interesting change. For future reference, here were the drills as i remember them:

(all in short stance)
1. Lead-hand jab, making sure to turn hips and trunk into the punch. Both sides.
2. Same thing, but concentrating on pulling the punching hand back after hitting (imagine a rubber band between the glove and your teeth).
3. As above, followed by rear-hand cross (rear heel lifts off ground).
4. "Rips" - Punching into ribs (mitts facing in and slughtly down at rib height) - turning hips and torso, heel on punching side lifts off ground. 20 reps.
5. "Rips" coming up the body - four at stomach height, four at ribs, four a little higher (shoulder height?), four at face (mitts in and slightly down).
6. Left to ribs, right to ribs, left hook to head, duck (holder swings mitt at you), right uppercut to chin (same mitt held horizontal). One side only.

It'll be good to get that punching bag at home hung, so i can incorporporate some of those into bagwork.

Every time i read about those unusual earthquakes last night, i can't stop thinking of those b-grade 1960s sci-fi/spy movies, where some shadowy north-east asian dictator is either developing a Doomsday Device that will break the world apart at its seams, or has henchmen digging secret tunnels to plant nukes under the faultlines of the free world.

Either way, on all available evidence, we're obviously toast.

If only we had a plucky hero here to save us from the brink of annihilation. Alex Downer, where are you? You're our last hope.
