Class Notes – March 1, 2016 – Atienza Kali – Intercepts

Posted on by mdkali

Instructing: Guro’s Joe C & Lem

Attending: Brian, Asim, Ryan, James, and Lance

Notes:

Tonight we warmed up with the hourglass footwork with slashes, tip-up and tip-down deflections. Next, we compared short slashes and long slashes. We had them partner up and practice their short slashes. In this exercise, we had their partner hold out their stick and try to retract the stick while the other tried hitting it with short slashes. 2016-03-04-09-30-40

 

From there, we had them track the forehand anchor point and perform short slashes whenever they saw it in a flow. Finally, we had them partner up and made feeder 1 attack feeder 2 with different angles. Feeder 2 would counter everything with tip-up/tip-down deflections and intercept that forehand long slash when they saw it.

Class Notes – Feb. 23, 2016 – Panuntukan

Posted on by mdkali

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.

Feb 16, 2016  – Panuntukan

Instructing: Guro Joe Marana

Notes:

We continued working on our panuntukan/boxing series. Discussed about panuntukan counters but added in draws (from concealment or from belt rig). We dealt with the receiver punching – jab and crooss. The Feeder then draws and enters into any combination from the panuntukan set.

Class Notes – Feb 2, 2016 – Atienza Kali Long Blade

Posted on by mdkali

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

Attendance: Lance, James, Dan, and Sid

Notes:

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.
