NOTE ON THESE LESSONS: This set of lessons leans a little more heavily toward the "Fighting Injured" theme. If that doesn't suit your current needs, please refer to any previous lesson plan. Even if you aren't doing a "Fighting Injured" theme, I recommend the ice training described below!
BEGINNER CLASS (B3)
Elbow #1
Elbow #6
Headbutts (advanced training from Level 3)
Knees
Combo: Right Elbow/Headbutt/Knee
Choke Front (2 hands) emphasize plucking with wrists, not fingers!

Fighting Injured: tape fingers into balls so you cannot use fingers to grab. Make Choke Front or Headlock Behind as best as you can with limited mobility!
INTERMEDIATE CLASS (D3)
Elbow #1
Elbow #6
Headbutts (advanced training from Level 3)
Knees
Combo: Right Elbow/Headbutt/Knee
Hair Grab from the Front
Hair Grab from the Side

Gun Front
Fighting Injured: soak hands in ICE for about two minutes, then try gun defense immediately!
ADVANCED CLASS
Gun Front
Fighting Injured: tape hands to fingers of right hand are immobile. Make Gun Front; do your best to trap the gun with your right forearm instead of your right hand; continue with counters.

ADVANCED CLASS (D3)
Muay Thai clinch -- work movement, add knees...and then try these things with marbles in one shoe.

Gun from the Front (2 hand technique) - perform this technique with an injury to one leg; discuss the desirability of the 1-Hand Technique, but the need for the 2 Hand Technique if you cannot burst forward effectively.

Dear Affiliates and Instructors,
This week, at KMA Headquarters, we are doing "Fighting Injured" week. For this reason, you might see a theme in the lesson plans that involves fighting with one hand, or working from positions of serious disadvantage.
I've tried to design the lesson plans so that you can disregard the "theme," if you wish. You are certainly NOT obligated to do "Fighting Injured" just because we are doing it! However, you might find some of the basic drills interesting.
For more elaborate "Fighting Injured" ideas, please visit the Affiliate Resources section and download the "Fighting Injured" curriculum.
Thanks!
