We asked the group what scenarios they had running through their minds if they had to draw their blade. We had them explain what they did before, during, and after the altercation. Things for them to also think about was how they drew their blade, fixed or folder, how many attackers, or with a family member. Things to think about… Why do we train?
Instructing: Guros Joe C & Lem

Notes:
Reviewed TD1 – No Clearing. We partnered up and reviewed the whole drill. Changed partners and practiced with different energy for most of the class time. We continued with changing the order and isolating the different techniques. We then had them free-flow and try catching the technique while in flow. Ended class with salutation.

Notes:
Started class with salutation. We continued learning the isolations for no contact for TD1. We tried playing the King of the Hill again after getting more reps in TD1, but this time we tried changing some parameters. We made feeders work with only one or two hits to remain on the top. If the feeder didn’t get a good contact, he would be bumped off and the next person would be the new King of the Hill.
