Sand Bags are used as a protective shield to develop an advantage in war, so that the soldiers below were safe. Sandbags were filled with mud and dirt so that the gunshots didn't do much damage to the trench and men.

No Man's Land is the area between the trenches in war and nobody would have survived on the land because of the gunshots and the opposing trench soldiers in war.

This week for Boxing, we needed to work with a partner to complete the defensive actions that Pax taught us in this session. Partner one needed guidelines and gloves, and partner two needed to handle a noodle. A cone was set in the middle and partner one and two had to face each other.

First we played a game where we had to snatch a cone before our partner did. In the 1st round, we sat close to the cone and needed to snatch it when Pax said go. We had to do the same thing nd we had to crawl as fast as possible. Then we had to make sure our bottoms stayed on the ground and we needed to face the wall and push off as fast as possible, then we got into the defence.

The first defence we did was when partner 1 had to get into rock position and partner 2 had to lower the noodle straight ahead for partner 1 to block. Partner 1 had to lift their hands up so that their face was covered and little space was left in the middle for partner 1 to peek out of.

The second Defence we learnt was called bridge. Partner 2 had to lower the noodle, a bit faster than before and partner 1 had to move backwards and stay in rock position. Partner 1 had to push off of their front foot and move their back leg, backwards more and they had to bring their front leg backwards.  Partner 2 also had to move forward when partner 1 (with the gloves) was moving backwards.

We also had to take steps into the circle to fit.

In hand soccer, we needed 2 opposing teams, and we had to be numbered off by Mr Matt, and if Mr Matt called a certain order of numbers, the people that were the numebrs, had to go into the arena. There were 4 cones and 2 on each side as the goals. The opposing team members had to use one hand and hit the ball into the other teams goal to get a win. The first team to get to 12 points, win.

Control Gloves:
Left & Right Hook- For the left you control your glove with firmness and we have to punch with your left hand to the opposite side noodle. Then you do the right side, you punch with your right hand and punch the opposide sided noodle. You need to hook it so it moves from your right hip to the noodle and it's the same with your left, Left hip to Front.

Jab & Cross- These punches are straight punches, Jab is the Left punch and the Cross is the left punch.

Uppercut- Hold the gloves to your cheeks and then pull one back downwards and force them upwards to do a hook. Same with the left, You pull back, Release, Punch!
Control Noodles:
Hooks- To hold the noodle you need a decent space for your partner to be able to punch between the noodles.

Jab and Cross- All you need to do is hold the noodles firm and still and hold your hands in the middle of the noodle.

Uppercuts- Hold the Noodles Horizontally so your partner could punch them from below.
