Class Notes – April 5, 2016 – Atienza Kali – Deflections with a Two Count

Instructing:  Guro Joe M, Guro Joe C, and Guro Lem

Attendance:  Alex, Sid, Dan, and Asim

Notes:

We started class with AK hourglass footwork. After practicing some triangle footwork, we added slashes to the drill. Later, we started working tip-up and tip-down deflections. We had them work that on both sides and later counter with a two-count. After they had some reps in those, we added tip-up passes with two-count. Next we had them switch out their trainers with soft sticks to get some hits.

Class Notes – March 29, 2016 – Medical Management

Instructing: Guro Joe M and Guro Joe C.

Notes:

Tonight, we got back to some knife stuff with a quick review of the 1st 3 stop-blocks of TD 1. We then ran a scenario where two people are attacked by a guy with a blade.  This let us to deal with security issues around the wounded party etc.  This less sterile and more contextualized scenario lead to the inevitable legality discussions. We recommended everyone to talk to an actual lawyer… We also covered some basic group/team tactics.  We ended class with a show and tell on medkits.2016-03-29-13-23-51

Class Notes – March 22, 2016 – Medical Management

Instructing: Guro Joe M, Guro Joe C, and Guro Lem

Attending: Alex, Bryan, Dan, Sid, Lance, and Asim

Notes:

Tonight’s class we worked on carrying or moving our partner from across the room. First carry was a pull and drag from under the armpits. Second carry we had an arm around waist while holding the belt–walked carry across the room. The next part of class we talked about different scenarios of what would they do as a responder to the scene. How they would assess the situation and deal with it. Next we talked and practiced with tourniquets. Each of them got some reps placing on their partner and then themselves. 2016-03-29-13-17-062016-03-29-13-26-48IMG_20160322_2034110892016-03-29-13-19-24IMG_20160322_204158495

Class Notes – March 15, 2016 – Medical Management

Instructing: Guro Joe M, Guro Joe C, and Guro Lem

Attending: Alex, Lance, James, Sid, Asim, and Ryan

Notes:

Tonight, we started the class drilling the first 3 counts of transitional drill 1. Next we reviewed our stop-blocks for those moves.  As class continued, we went over some medical material with thought provocation to see what actions the students would do. During this time, we went over some ways to perform our physical assessment on an unconscious person. We had them pair up and perform the assessment on each other (thanks to our student/local EMT Alex for helping with this). Later in class, we discussed that we have to be prepared to deal with any situation in a calm way. Focus on the goal or primary threat until it is decreased or neutralized–secure the area or move the person to a safer location. Then, we can perform the care needed based on the acronym MARCH. M –  Massive bleeding. A – Check airway and clear if necessary. R – Respirations. C – Circulation. H – Head/Hypothermia.

Class Notes – Feb. 23, 2016 – Panuntukan

Instructing: Guro Joe M, Guro Joe C, and Guro Lem

Attendence: Dan, Lance, Alex, and Brent (new perspective student)

Notes:

Tonight’s class we continued with dealing with receiver’s jab and cross and drawing from concealment. Feeder’s side-stepped to the outside of jab and used that time to deploy blade–hopefully before receiver’s cross would connect. Another drill we did to gain another beat, we had the Feeder’s throw a jab (if in left lead) to buy the time to deploy blade. Then tried it in the right lead to deploy blade.

We practiced an hour glass footwork for this class. This footwork utilizes the male and triangle footwork. It can work with the upper body swinging the blade or using jab and cross. We later worked on the first six counts of sword evo 1. Most of these counters used the point up or point down deflections. Changed sides to get both sides to feed.
