In attendance: Bob Shin (instructing), Adam B. Paul B. Joe C., Warren D., Keith H., Derek L., Tom M.After warming up, the advanced students continued to work through TD 5, which includes standing grappling and blind tapping. The others worked on TD 1.After installing the drill, we moved to random isolations from TD 1. It was immediately obvious that executing a technique in the drill vs live were two totally different things.We ended, as usual, with free flow. It is interesting to see how different people treat free flow differently. Some prefer to try to maintain distance. Others like to get in and tie up.When free flowing, don’t forget that we that the distinction between being feeder and receiver is NOT being armed vs not being armed. Empty hand tapping is meant to open lines that you will use to enter. The techniques flow the same way whether your have a knife in your hand or not.
