Joe C. ran class this evening.

Class went well:Attendance: Joe instructing, Aaron, Frank, William, and prospective student Brian.We warmed up with the usual. push up sets went to 20 and we kept it going in pretty rapid succession with no rest so it only took about 8 mins at the beginning of class. Pull ups after class as well. I didn’t keep track of the numbers this week except for William who did 20 in close grip palms in(all the way down).Aaron then led a review of Tuhon Raf’s material that I missed last week and we drilled that entry option on a thai pad. Then Frank, Aaron and William reviewed the 3 of 9 feeder locks that Guro Harley Elmore showed last week while I took Brian through the beginnings of protocol and 3 of 9. We covered the first 3 of 3of9 tapping and reconvened with the rest of the class to drill it with different partners. The more advanced students worked off the cross draw and pushed the receivers in terms of time and speed.We ended with the aforementioned pull ups.
