Looks good.

One thing I may add is working your hip flexors in stading position.
Stand next to the rope and throw upward knee strikes with legs alternating. Do as many as you can. Hip flexors is extremely important in MT, it is used for every kick and knee strike.

I'd personally go for something other than crunches to work the abs. They're not that great, and can be murder on your neck and back. I would also do single-leg calf raises, instead of regular ones. When I was adding MT into my JKD work, having each calf able to rocket me upwards was really handy. It will give a huge boost to the speed of your kick defense, to the power of your upward knees, and to you footwork and kicks in general. I'd probably toss some plyo work in there for the same reasons.

I like holding l sits for abs they really activate that muscle hard without doing any good form or whatever you might do wrogn with crunches situps and dragon flags (although I do like twisting dragon flags)
