Class Notes – July 2, 2013
Guro Lem instructing:
Attendance: Jon, Brandon, Robert E., Lem, David, Asim, and Ryan
Notes:David taught Jon and Brandon. His notes will follow. I had the rest of the guys perform 3 of 9 w/tapping. We also worked on pendulum and corkscrew tapping. Discussed the differences between the two.Also, Asim and Ryan worked in some funnel taps. After warm-ups, we would tap to get to the left side of the attack (Feeder’s right side) and then used the left hand as a c-clamp or posted with the right forearm. Later, we simulated a hold up with a knife near the door and hand rail and one of the guys had to get past the the person with the knife using what we had just practiced. Good training!Later, Ryan and Asim practiced transitional drills 1 through 7.

Guros Lem and Joe taught class while I was out of town:
Attendees: Guros Joe and Lem, Kapatid David D., Brian, Ryan, Asim, Alex, Philip, and Cole (new prospective student).
We combined the drilling of Atienza Kali and Sayoc Kali. We used 3 of 9 as the template. First we started with no tapping and just moved out of the way utilizing body movements, footwork, and angles. Some utilized boxing movements like bob n weave or ducking. We continued to switch partners so that everyone experienced different levels of height. It was interesting to watch how they moved to see what worked and what didn’t work.
