Instructing: Guros Joe C & Lem
Attending: Dan, Shane, and Brian
Notes:
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.
Instructing: Brian
Attendance: Asim, Ryan, Dan, Sid, and Lance
All the Guro’s were away tonight and could not make it to class. Luckily tonight’s class was run by senior student, Brian. Thanks Brian!
Reviewed 3 of 9 template right and left hand, tapping 3 of 9, and left defeats right. Then did 7 count passing using the line drill.
Instructing: Guro Joe & Guro Lem
In Attendance: Brian, Alex, Ryan, Asim, Bob, Dan, Lance, James & Sid
Students continued working on the 7-Count Passing Drill, building on the counters to the Receiver counters (counters to the counters) from last week. Feeder Counters involved students identifying time/place to counter, as well as an understanding of how the Receiver counters work in order to best negate them.
New students continued working on Transition Drill 1 and installing 3 of 9, Scarecrowing the Vital Template.
Instructing: GuroS Joe (plural)
In Attendance: Brian, Alex, Asim, Ryan, Bob, Dan, Lance & Sid
Students completed review/installation of Feeder Counters of the 7-Count Passing Drill. While we do teach the “official” counters, both Guro Joe C. and myself have had the privilege of learning and training the system from multiple instructors so there were a variety (usually at least 2-3) options for each count. As brought up by the class and discussed, sometimes the various options may occur at different times within the Receiver’s technique or may depend on the Feeder’s range and speed. Lastly, students pulled both Receiver and Feeder counters from 3 of 9 Tapping.
Newer students installed and refined 3 of 9 Tapping, paying specific attention to targets, hand placement and body shifting/footwork.
Attendance: Alex, Robert, Brian, Asim, Ryan, Frank, Dan, Chan, Tavon, Guros Lem and Joe C. instructing. We continued working the remaining counts of the 7 count drill in isolation for speed and intensity. We then covered “stump training” and ended with free flow.
One of the techniques in the drill is referred to as the “Steven Segal”. Guro Joe M. and I were reminiscing about our favorite Segal fight scenes. Here you go Guro Joe:
Attendance: David D., Robert, Ryan, Frank, Dan, Chan, Guros Joe M. and Joe C. instructing. We worked the 7 count passing drill in isolation with increased intensity and speed to build real time on each count. We made through the first 4 counts. We added a move before or after the attack in the drill to add intensity and encourage speed.
Attendance: Rob, Dan, Alex, Frank, Tom, Chan, Guros Joe M., Joe C., and Lem instructing. We reviewed and finished installing the 7 count passing drill. We also covered feeder counters within the 7 count drill.
