In attendance: Brian, Asim, Ryan, Bryant, Bob, Kashif, Jon and Nancy.
We had a special guest observer for this class — Pamana Tuhon Sayoc! Using iChat, we were able to set up a live feed so that Tuhon could see what we were doing and make comments. Just having Tuhon “in the room” changed the feel of the class quite a bit! Tuhon may continue to observe when he has the opportunity, so we’ll really have to step it up a couple of notches in the future!

In attendance: Joe, David, Tyus, Devlin, Mosi, Brian, Asim, Andrew, Ryan, Will, Bob, Tavon, Julie, Kashif, Nancy, Jon, and Guro Joe Maraña. visiting from the west coast!
We warmed up with transition drills, then decided to do something different in honor of Guro Joe. We split into two groups (sharks vs minnows) and ran a series of mass attack drills. Eventually we worked our way until we had a group of 12 protecting a “principal” against 3 attackers — trying a variety of different strategies. Fun stuff!

The more advanced students continued to work through transition drill 2 while the others began installing transition drill 1. As the students move from one transition drill to the other, different skills and techniques are being installed, for example the linear movements of the first contrast with the circular movements of the second drill.
