In attendance: Bob Shin (instructing), Joe C., David D., Bryan D., Dean F., Keith H., Adam L., and Aaron T.We continued working on the 10 count palusot drill. Feeder 1 used the circular template, while Feeder 2 responded either with the backwards N or mirror template.In keeping with the reverse grip theme of the class, the second part of the class was spend reviewing the 3/10 smoking knife template.At the end of class, everyone split up to work on different drills, including TD1 and/or TD2. We ended with a few minutes of free flow.

Class Notes – September 14, 2006
In attendance: Bob Shin and Lem Tasin (instructing), Adam B., Joe C., David D., Bryan D., Bethany G., Jonathan H., Keith H., Derek L., Jon K., Adam L., Pat R., and Aaron T.Class began with a formal salutation, then we continued to install TD 1 (for the newer students) and TD 1 silak (for the more advanced students).The second part of class was spend reviewing the palusot sak-sak drill, which introduces percussion disarms and grip deflections. For the disarms, the energy needs to be sent to your opponent’s hip. The grip deflections should be small movements.We ended class with free flow. We ran through three rotations (alternating as feeder and receiver), then closed with a salutation.
Class Notes – September 7, 2006
In attendance: Bob Shin and Lem Tasin (instructing), David D., Bryan D., the other David D., Dean F., Jonathan H., Maria H., Jon K., Derek L., Tom M., and Aaron T.Since just about everyone has their rigs now, we reviewed weapon sheathing, deployment, and quick draws. We ran a quick draw contest. Lem won the right hand competition, but was narrowly beaten by Maria who was our left hand champion.After this, we continued working through TD 1 and TD 1 silak. The newer students worked through isolation 5. The more advanced students reviewed the entire silak drill.The last part of class was spent in free flow to break us out of the fixed drills we’d been working on.
Class Notes – August 31, 2006
In attendance: Bob Shin and Lem Tasin (instructing), Joe C., David D., Bethany G., Adam L., Pat R., Aaron T. and the other David D.We continued installing TD 1 silak, getting through isolation 7. The newer students installed TD 1, getting through isolation 4. I am hoping that the slower pace of material will help everyone get the details down right the first time.For fun, we introduced mass attack concepts using the padded sticks: two-on-one, three-on-one, etc. People picked up the concept of stacking pretty quickly.Plan for next class: Finish up the current drill and introduce the sak-sak drill.
