Straight Punch with Advance
Straight Punch with Retreat
Round Kick
Drill: 1 pad holder; 1 striker. Partners make two lines at one end of the mat. Striker makes Straight Punch with Advance all the way up the mat. On reaching the end, Striker makes 2 round kicks right, 2 round kicks left, then Straight Punch with Retreat all the way back, finishing in a sprawl. Partners switch and attempt to get maximum rounds in 2 minutes.
Ground – Side Position
Ground – Side Kick
Drill: Half the class has curved kick shields. Students randomly scatter the pads across mat. On instructor's call of "GO!" students begin running in random directions anywhere on mat. On instructor's call of "DOWN!" students who touch a curved kick shield first get to throw Ground and Pound strikes and students who didn't get a pad must do burpees until instructor calls "TIME!" at which point students doing burpees get in Ground – Side Position. Students with pad make a verbal cue to a student in Side Position and come in for Side Kick from the Ground. Drill resets with everyone back to running immediately after Side Kick is made.

Half the class has curved kick shields and the other half has a knife. Students randomly scatter the pads and knives across mat. On instructor's call of "GO!" students begin running in random directions anywhere on mat. On instructor's call of "DOWN!" students who touch a curved kick shield first get to throw Ground and Pound strikes and students who didn't get a pad must do burpees until instructor calls "TIME!" at which point students return to running. Instructor will also call "KNIFE!" Students who get to a knife get to be attackers using Straight Stab or Forward Slash, and those who could not grab a knife in time stand in neutral to be attacked.
