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.

We continued working on TD1 – no contact isolation. Worked up to count 7. We switched partners and worked with different energies to see how the entry would change depending on size of the partner. After getting some reps, we decided to play a game “king of the hill”. We had the feeder stand as, king of the hill, while receivers were challenging. From a ready-stance with blades at there side, feeders would attack as receivers would tap. If the receiver lasted longer than five seconds, then he would be the new, king of the hill.
Ended with salutation.
Great class tonight!

Notes:
Began class with salutation. Warm-up with TD1. Taught the first four movements of the TD1 – no contact. Near the end of class we free-flowed. We encouraged the students to try using these during the free-flow.

Notes:
Began class with salutation. We had students review TD1 to get the flow down smoothly. Some of the other students also reviewed last week’s subset – power assist. After getting more reps with this drill, we added a modifier to the drill. We set up three chairs. We started with Receivers sitting on the chair and Feeders standing. After the drill was done, we had the guys who were sitting in the chair feed the drill. We rotated positions until everyone had a chance to feed and receive on the chair. Ended class with salutation.

Notes:
Beginning of class, we started with reviewing TD1. Then, we went through Level 8 – Power Assist for TD1. Utilizing the clearing hand to assist the blade hand in finishing each isolation targets of TD1. Some techniques used in the drill were supporting blade hand by grabbing hand or wrist, pushing punyo, gravity drop, and pulling receiver into target.
Instructing: Guro Joe C and Guro Lem
In Attendance: Alex, Dan, Bryan, Sid, Ryan, and Lance
Notes:
Students went through reviewing TD1. We showed Level 6 set for TD1- no clearing hand used in drill. Showing each isolation with True Right concepts. Every target was shown how to enter with body angulation, footwork, and manipulating elbow to gain entry to target.
Also, reviewed the different types of cross-tapping: pendulum, corkscrew, shear, and funnel.
