Posted on by mdkali

In attendance: Lem Tasin (instructing), Adam B., Joe C., Bryan D., the other David D., Bethany G., Jonathan H., Jon K., Adam L., Pat R., and Aaron T.Lem ran the class in my absence. Here are his notes:

Beginning of class, we split up into two groups. Joe took one group that knew TD 1 and TD 2 and they practiced those drills. The other group practiced 3 of 9 tapping.Brian and John also worked on 5 count palusot drills. Patrick and Jonathan reviewed TD 1 and 10 count palusot drill (circular). Bethany and David worked on 3 of 9 template and tapping.After that we did some fun stuff again. We ran four laps and ten push-ups, followed by 3of 9 tapping. This was repeated three times, however the third time, I turned off the lights.The last part of class, Joe reviewed tip down deflections to angle 1 and 2. We also drilled this using a pad and soft-stix (feeder 1) so feeder 2 can hit back as soon as he deflected. We ended class after this.

In attendance: Bob Shin and Lem Tasin (instructing), Jonathan H., Keith H., Derek L., and Aaron T.We continued with long blade training, specifically the Atienza Kali long blade evolution. We worked on moves 1 through 6, covering deflections and alternating counters. We then introduced slip deflections.Even the padded sticks can make your knuckles swell, so it is very important to keep your hands moving at all times.p.s. Congratulations to Lem on his promotion to associate instructor level 1!

100506In attendance: Bob Shin and Lem Tasin (instructing), Adam B., Joe C., David D., Bryan D., Bethany G., Jonathan H., Maria H., Jon K., and Aaron T.Today’s focus was on long blade. We introduced long slashes, short slashes, and the waving guard. As we worked on our slashes and guard, we emphasized the importance of eliminating “tells” or telegraphing.We began installing the Atienza Kali long blade evolution 1. The first 6 moves of Evo 1 introduce the Deflector fighter type. Both point up and point down deflections are used in this part of the drill. Each counter is reflexive.We will continue working on Evo 1 next class.
