Chuck lead class tonight. We started slow and carefully analyzed each of the kihon for the benifit of the several new students. We then demonstrated a kata before splitting into two groups so the new students could work on Taikioko Shodan while the experienced students worked on kumite techniques. We started with basic mah and evasion drilling. Following this we included that the defender must -not- move backward in response to the second of a predefined double-attack, and then countered. Last we did some mock kumite with the offense and defense roles predetermined, then switched half way through. It was all good practice. My movement was decent, but I was leaving myself in too much danger after my counter. It worked for this controlled environment, but in jiyu kumite it would have been disasterous.
