Took my first Mau Tai boxing class with Jamie from Ireland. A real intense dude with a very down to earth approach to his teaching. What I learned from session 1 was how much hip rotation is important. Sound familiar??
Hip/pelvic rotation is key to releasing tension in lower back. With a more relaxed back you can allow for more energy to flow and have more power. I noticed this when I kicked the long heavy bag. There was this pop sound when I was relaxed , feeling great and powerful with the kick. Also, my energy increase leaving me exhilarated.
Thanks Jamie for introducing me to this discipline.
For everyone interested in Mau Tai boxing instruction with Jamie, give him a call him 646 338 1161.
