Joe C. ran class this evening.

Class went well:Attendance: Joe instructing, Aaron, Frank, William, and prospective student Brian.We warmed up with the usual. push up sets went to 20 and we kept it going in pretty rapid succession with no rest so it only took about 8 mins at the beginning of class. Pull ups after class as well. I didn’t keep track of the numbers this week except for William who did 20 in close grip palms in(all the way down).Aaron then led a review of Tuhon Raf’s material that I missed last week and we drilled that entry option on a thai pad. Then Frank, Aaron and William reviewed the 3 of 9 feeder locks that Guro Harley Elmore showed last week while I took Brian through the beginnings of protocol and 3 of 9. We covered the first 3 of 3of9 tapping and reconvened with the rest of the class to drill it with different partners. The more advanced students worked off the cross draw and pushed the receivers in terms of time and speed.We ended with the aforementioned pull ups.

According to Guro Lem:

Joe had the class already doing warm-up exercises. We worked on the drill Tuhon Jimmy showed us at Sama Sama. We paired up and switched partners to get different energy. We then went over isolations for 3/9 template. Also, went over the different isolation levels 1-4. We then ended with free-flow.

According to Kapatid Joe:

Attendance: Guro Lem instructing and Joe assisting, Aaron, David, Phil, Frank, Shane, William

Warm up: 50 JJacks, 35 secs squats, 20 secs of pushup position calf raises per leg, 12 reg PUs, 12 close PUs, 15 wide PUs, 20 crunches, 10 rotators, 20 alting crunches We’re building up … the rest of class as Lem described.

After class pull-ups were recorded as follows:

  • David – 0
  • Aaron – 1/2
  • Frank – 1
  • Shane – 3?
  • Phil – 5?
  • Joe – 10
  • William – 25 (halfway down)
  • Lem – 30? 5? (accounts differ)

Next week we’ll have to make sure that William does full pull-ups, and that we count Lem’s pull-ups precisely …

Class last week was cancelled due to the snow. Joe and Lem ran class in my absence.

Attendance: Lem, me, Big Dave, Frank, Phil, Brian, Josh,We warmed up with 3 of 9 right, left, right and left together, then with tapping. Then Frank asked why there’s no tapping for the left hand so we paired up and each group came up with one and demo’d it for the group.We then drilled the first two counts of TD1 and refined the feeders counters. We finished with a few reps of TD1.Joe

Joe taught class this week while I was out of town …In attendance: Joe C. (instructing), David D., Cliff J., Frank R. and Justin T.

We reviewed 3 of 9 right template, tapping, and left hand template. Briefly went over the first two moves of TD1 as a drill to clear and maintain cross tap position covered in 3 of 9 tapping. We ended with light free flow. Class was fun and went well.
