Drill: Pile of Pads — half as many pads as people in the middle of the room; some pads for kicking, some for punching. Students are at either end of the room; when the instructor says “Go!” the students must CRAB WALK to the pads. If they get a pad, they hold it for punches or kicks. If they do not get a pad, they must strike non stop until the instructor calls “time!” Do 4-5 rounds.
