I almost forgot my anniversary this year! Luckily, Aaron stepped up and took over the class in my absence.
Attendees: Ryan, Brian, Frank & Aaron
First part of the class we worked triangle/hourglass footwork with and without striking & short blades. The remainder of the class was free flow. Frank and I worked with Ryan and Brain each during this time. We practiced single/double blade, drawing, striping, some panuntukan, grappling, footwork and “what if” scenario’s. Fun, fun, fun!
Oh, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! from everyone who attended class tonight!
Aaron
Thanks Aaron!!!
Mosi and Frank ran class this evening … In attendance: Mosi and Frank (instructing), David, Brian, Mark and Martin.
Tonight Dr. Bob wasn’t able to attend class, so Frank and I were asked to step in and teach the class the Atienza Trapo Hit Set we had just learned from a recent seminar. Since we only had one handkerchief between the 6 of us, we improvised and taught the set using knives instead. Of course, since the reach of a knife is different from that of a “loaded hankerchief,” We had to adapt the template to knife: changing the targets slightly and the defenses a bit. After learning the hit set & getting a few reps in, we spent the last 7 minutes of class free flowing.
