Class Notes – Nov 17, 2015 – 4 of 9 Template

Instructing: Guro Joe M, Guro Joe C, and Guro Lem

Attendence: James, Lance, Dan, Sid, Asim, and Ryan

Notes:
Tonight’s class we installed 4 of 9 template with right and left hand. Everyone had a chance to run through the whole template for both right and left hand. Later, we had them experiment using the left hand template to clear the receiver’s reflexive responses. Also, we had them switch from forward grip to reverse grip to see what differences/similarities in motion they experienced. Guro Joe C. showed the template with the receiver’s reflexive response to the right hand attacks using right hand in a forward grip and left hand in a reverse grip.

Notes: We started class with the review of the five-count passing drill with grappling isolations. Then, we added the hubud technique and funnel tap to the pin of the blade arm. We also performed gunting with empty hands to blade draws from concealment. Later, we reviewed 6’s from the Atienza Kali seminar with Guro Leo M. We also ran through two on one scenarios with grabs.

Oct. 6 2015 – Five Count Passing Drill with Combat Sets

Instructing: Guro Joe C, Guro Joe M, and Guro Lem

Attending: Brian, Dan, Bob, Asim, Lance, Sid, Alex, and James

Notes:

Five count passing drill with Tuhon Tom’s combat sets 1 – 5. Like in different fma schools, these attacks are from different angles. These preset attacks are then passed through with an open or closed counter. Once the drill has been installed, the Feeder goes into the grappling range of the drill. Each angle will have a different grappling sequence that either goes into a throw or a control that the receiver cannot move out of. This control is done to the blade arm and/or receiver’s body, or head.

Reviewed TD1 – No Clearing. We partnered up and reviewed the whole drill. Changed partners and practiced with different energy for most of the class time. We continued with changing the order and isolating the different techniques. We then had them free-flow and try catching the technique while in flow. Ended class with salutation.

Class Notes – Aug 25th, 2015 TD1 – No Contact

Instructing: Guro Joe M, Guro Joe C, and Guro Lem

Attendance: Asim, Bob, Ryan, Sid, Brian, Lance, and Alex

Notes:

Started class with salutation. We continued learning the isolations for no contact for TD1. We tried playing the King of the Hill again after getting more reps in TD1, but this time we tried changing some parameters. We made feeders work with only one or two hits to remain on the top. If the feeder didn’t get a good contact, he would be bumped off and the next person would be the new King of the Hill.

Class Notes – Aug 18, 2015 – TD1 – No Contact

Instructing – Guro Joe C & Guro Lem

Attendance – Dan, Bob, Ryan, Asim, and Alex

We continued working on TD1 – no contact isolation. Worked up to count 7. We switched partners and worked with different energies to see how the entry would change depending on size of the partner. After getting some reps, we decided to play a game “king of the hill”. We had the feeder stand as, king of the hill, while receivers were challenging. From a ready-stance with blades at there side, feeders would attack as receivers would tap. If the receiver lasted longer than five seconds, then he would be the new, king of the hill.

Ended with salutation.

Great class tonight!
