Class Notes – April 10, 2018 – 3 of 9 Hit sets with Throw

Attending:

Guros Joe C. & Lem, Bryan, Ryan, Dan, and Andrew

Notes:

Tonight’s class we split the guys in two groups. We had the senior students take turns teaching 3 of 9 to our new student. While they were teaching, we went through some of the hit sets from 3 of 9. Most of these techniques were just review for some. So we tried a throw a receiver might do on one of the hit set counts. We came up with a nice single leg for count 5. We would perform the hit set for count 5 and go into the single leg. We didn’t like staying in that position of holding the single leg for too long. So we concentrated throwing the Feeder to the ground right away. Some techniques that seemed to work for us was a good shoulder bump, sweep the posting leg, or if those failed we’d just throw the blade arm/leg away. Some techniques worked better on some people because of height/length of leg. Others used a different technique to get it done. Here are some pictures of class that night.

Class – March 6, 2018 – 5 Count Passing Drill

Attendees:

Guro Lem, Brian, Ryan, Chris, Shane, and Justin

Notes:

Tonight’s class, we split the class in two groups. Justin is fairly new so we had the senior guys take turns teaching 3 of 9 template to him. Shane taught first and went through the counts 1-5 showing both Feeder and Receiver techniques. Brian continued with counts 6-9 showing Feeder and Receiver sides. Chris would later feed and receive 3 of 9. Justin got some good reps tonight.

As they were teaching 3 of 9 to Justin, we continued working on the different variations of 5 count passing drill from last class. We alternated drilling with each other. The last variation we worked on would be to get a vital target after every counter. Issues that came up were to be aware of blade profile after passing–keep it pointed in the right direction. Feeder 2 not stopping the motion of the drill. Also, we tried to keep the cuts/counters small instead of giving a wide swing of the blade.

Near the end of class, we all got into pairs and we did some blade sparring. The rules were to keep both feet planted during the match–no moving the feet. After 3 cuts, winners stayed on. Only vital targets counted and if you moved your feet you lost a point.

Good class tonight!

Tonight we dedicated the training to see how much of the curriculum the guys knew. We asked them to perform without instructing and drill what they knew. We covered: 3 of 9 with its different variations. 5-count and 7-count passing drills. 10-count kayanan. Td 1-3. Later, we ran a line drill for Td2 to get more reps in.

Class Notes – Aug 2, 2016 – 3 of 9

Instructing: Guro Joe C & Guro Lem

Attendence: Brian, Ryan, Asim, Mike, and Sid

Notes:

Tonight, we had the beginner students work on 3 of 9 tapping. Then we showed them left hand template.

The advanced students worked on feeding by having two feeders with each working on a specific side (one is clearing, the other with the blade), while the receiver cross taps and wipes their attacks. Later, they worked on true right. Same as above, two feeders working their own side. We switched it up by later having two receivers partner up while one feeder feeds 3 of 9.

Class Notes – July 26, 2016 – 3 of 9 Drill

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

Attendence: Vince, Dinno, Brian, Ryan, Mike, and Asim

Notes:

In the beginning of class, we split the group to three different groups. The advanced students worked on true right. The intermediate students worked on 3 of 9 tapping. We reminded them to keep the flow of the drill without stopping. They were probably processing the information and thinking about the next move. But keeping a slow smooth flow during the drill without stopping and getting more reps would help their flow. For the beginners, we had them learn how to by doing the template and then working on feeding with clearing with the left hand.
