We began to work on the basic AK knife curriculum, starting with the knife evolution 1 targeting chain and moving on to the finger cut set and the redirect set. It was great having Guro Joe M. in town to help refine the details of the drill.
The first Atiena Kali Sama Sama was held this weekend up in the Poconos, covering AK sword, knife, stick and more. Highlights included the AK Gauntlet (running, climbing, shooting, archery, machete and knife throwing, and mass attack) and the Combat Archery competitions.
Mike Q. attended as did Guro Ervin Quintin and Simo Eloy Quintin from Virginia Beach. We all had such a good time that we hardly noticed all of the wind and rain. ;)
In attendance: David, Mosi, Phil, Brian, John, Ryan, Bob, Aaron and Yale. Class was split between 3/9 tapping, 3/9 true left, and AK blade simulator training.

In attendance: Bob, Joe, Mosi, Mark, Martin, Heather, and prospective student, John.We spent the class reviewing recent material and tying together the individual drills, one-on-one sparring, and mass attack concepts. A low key class to close out another great year. Have a Happy New Year! See you in 2010!
