In attendance: Bob Shin (instructing), Adam B., Paul B., Joe C., Warren D., Keith H., Dan H., Derek L., and prospective student Jessica F.The advanced students began installing (or reviewing) transition drill 5. TD5 is a reverse grip drill that introduced some standing grappling techniques.The other students reviewed transition drill 1. I asked them to rotate partners so that they could get a sense of different energies. For example, Dan has a very different energy from Keith.I introduced the prospective student to 3/9 right hand and 3/9 tapping. She picked up the template quickly and worked through most of the tapping drill, which is a lot of material to cover in just one hour.On a happy note, Derek was able to retrieve Dan’s trainer from behind the “Bench of Doom”!
