Class Notes – January 20, 2015 – Drills to Freeflow and Back

Posted on by mdkali

Instructing: Guro Joe M.

In Attendance: Brian, Alex, Ryan, Bob, Dan, Lance

Transition Drills – Students started by pairing off and repping a Transition Drill of choice, preferably one that is still new or one that the pair felt that they wanted/needed more work on.  Within the drill, each partner was instructed to identify an isolation that they wanted to work on.

Freeflow – With the same partner, then with different partners each student practiced isolating the technique extracted from a Transition Drill and use it in free flow.  From Freeflow, we then came back together and discussed how there are usually some movements that we get caught with.  Freeflow can help us identify our areas we should work on.

Back to Transition Drills – Using the feedback from Freeflow, students went back to their original pairs and located where in the Transition Drills they could find the solution to the movements they needed to work on.

Introduction to Phase 2 – For the last part of class, we worked the empty hand entry response to a forehand palm up slash.  Empty hand Feeders crosstapped and entered into a 2-on-1 control.  From there we worked foot and leg placement, simulating left hand strikes and crosstapping to exit if needed.

Class Notes January 13, 2015 Review TDs: Finding Open Seams.

Posted on by mdkali

Attendance: Ryan, Brian, Lance, Dan, Bob, Asim, Guros Joey M. and Lem

Notes: Reviewing 3 of 9 with tapping and Transitional drills. Performed 20 Squats. Looked for open seems during drilling 3 of 9 and TD drills. Open seams look really easy when watching but actually hard to pull off during free flow. Asked them to find open seems during drilling.  An example of one, is 3 of 9 after target 3 going to 4 is usually an easy one to get.

Class notes January 6, 2015. Review Transitional Drills with exercise

Posted on by mdkali

Attendance: Ryan, Brian, Alex, Dan, and Guro Lem

Notes: Review Transitional drills from 1 – 5. We picked two drills that we knew well and partnered up. We did 3 rounds of 10 burpees and ran 2 times from one end of the room to the other end. Then went into the two drills that we picked. The last set we added a modifier, we performed the drills in the dark after running the through the exercises.

Attendees: Asim, Alex, Robert, Dan, Ryan, and Guros Joey M. and Lem.

Notes: Warm-up class with 3 of 9 tapping. Others also focused on Transitional Drills. We went through different types of tapping using 3 of 9 drill: like pendulum, corckscrew, funnel, and sheering. We had them see what types of tapping they would use in 3 of 9 drill. Later, the hubud was introduced and was taught differently. This meant searching for the target but with intent. Next class we will introduce more modifiers to the Hub drill.

Attendance Lance, Dan, Alex, Brian, Ryan, Guros Lem, and Joe C. instructing, James observed the class.  We reviewed projectiles and projectile transitions to close quarters.  We also explored an alternate release allowing variable ranges of point first contact within the typical single rotation range without a grip change.  We finished with reviewing the loader principle in conjunction with triangle group tactics and a short medical scenario.
