Class Notes – December 14, 2010


In attendance: Joe, David, Tyus, Devlin, Mosi, Brian, Asim, Andrew, Ryan, Will, Bob, Tavon, Julie, Kashif, Nancy, Jon, and Guro Joe MaraƱa. visiting from the west coast!

We warmed up with transition drills, then decided to do something different in honor of Guro Joe. We split into two groups (sharks vs minnows) and ran a series of mass attack drills. Eventually we worked our way until we had a group of 12 protecting a “principal” against 3 attackers — trying a variety of different strategies. Fun stuff!

Class Notes – December 7, 2010

In attendance: Joe C., David, Tyus, Hickory, Brian, Asim, Ryan, Frank, Bob, Kashif, Jon, Nancy, and prospective students Andrew and Julie.

The more advanced students continued to work through transition drill 2 while the others began installing transition drill 1. As the students move from one transition drill to the other, different skills and techniques are being installed, for example the linear movements of the first contrast with the circular movements of the second drill.
