Bushcraft Basics – September 2017 – Fire Building and Shelter

Posted on by mdkali

Usually, we train with weapons or how to survive and protect our loved ones from violence. This time we were training a different skill-set. This past weekend we had the opportunity to learn from our very own instructor Guro Joe Cypressi on fire building and shelter. We had training hosted by Guro Joe Marana at an undisclosed area near his place. Brian, Ryan, and Guro Lem also attended the bushcraft basics class. First we learned how to build a fire. Making sure you pick the right wood was a very good lesson and making sure you had the wood ready to place in the fire. Later, we all teamed up to finish up the shelter that Guro Joe had started. He had started the frame of the shelter from a tree that was already leaning and we just build upon that. We didn’t have much leaves to use because summer was about to end, so we used grass to cover the shelter. In the end, we all had a good time learning the basics. Maybe one weekend we can go out for a night with family and show off our new skills.

Class – April 4, 2017 – Sayoc Stick Grappling

Posted on by mdkali

Instructors: Guro Joe C and Guro Lem

Attendees: Dan, Brian, and Ryan

Notes:

We continued with the stick grappling techniques from last week. These techniques are from Tuhon Tom’s stick grapping instructions in the past. We reviewed the stand up body lock to chokes with the stick. We went through some front head locks to guillotine chokes. Next, we transitioned from the side body lock to head and arm throw or to the neck crush. And also, we worked on some over-under clinch techniques to finishes.

We got some good reps drilling these sequences. We made them lightly free-flow through the locks from the side body clinch. From there, we had the Receiver’s give some reaction to which the Feeder’s had to move into the correct lock or choke or throw.

Next stick class we will review take downs with finishes. Also, maybe we will learn how to initiate a response to get entry.

Class – Feb. 28, 2017 – TD 1 & TD 2

Posted on by mdkali

Instructing: Guro’s Joe C and Lem

Attending: Brian, Shane, and Dan

Notes:

Tonight’s class we resumed fine tuning Td1 and Td2. We examined the parts where the receiver was doing most of the work and movement. In Td2, the receivers part is what makes most of the movements of the drill. We made sure that the receiver was giving the right amount of control during certain parts of the drill. These control point could be considered a time were the receiver can change his position to become the Feeder/attacker.

Notes:

Tonight, we incorporated projectiles into the transitional drill 1. First, we went through the template for TD1. We then had them run through the drill by adding projectiles for each target. We later introduced trying to clear and then projecting into the target. Then, we added multiple attackers to the drill.
