Class Notes – July 2, 2013

Guro Lem instructing:

Attendance: Jon, Brandon, Robert E., Lem, David, Asim, and Ryan

Notes:David taught Jon and Brandon. His notes will follow. I had the rest of the guys perform 3 of 9 w/tapping. We also worked on pendulum and corkscrew tapping. Discussed the differences between the two.
 
Also, Asim and Ryan worked in some funnel taps. After warm-ups, we would tap to get to the left side of the attack (Feeder’s right side) and then used the left hand as a c-clamp or posted with the right forearm. Later, we simulated a hold up with a knife near the door and hand rail and one of the guys had to get past the the person with the knife using what we had just practiced. Good training!
 
Later, Ryan and Asim practiced transitional drills 1 through 7.

Class Notes – December 11, 2012

L to R: Guro Bethany, Guro Joe M., Guro Joe C., Ann, Bryant, Brian, Ryan, Guro Bob, Guro Lem, Frank, David D., and Asim (not pictured).

Guro Bethany is in town for a few weeks and joined us as we continued to work on different variations on Panuntukan Set 1 (e.g., working off of the jab-cross)

We ended class with some practice drawing trainers from concealment. David D. had some trouble deploying his folder (0 for 3), Brian managed to stab through his T-shirt, and I dropped a trainer down my pants. Apparently, we need to work on this a bit more …
