Class with Sal, Nate, Mark, Charlie, and Joe. Chris called out, and Don did late. I talked a little about proper bowing and seiza form, then we stretched and started on requirements. I put Sal and Nate together and worked with Mark, adding thrusts, then had him pair with Nate and Sal alternately to go through Cutting Pattern 1 which I worked with Charlie and Joe, improving Charlie and adding thrusts, and getting Joe started on the second half of the cuts and blocks. I also reviewed Nate’s basic cuts and blocks.
After a break, we started with some Blind Man’s Boffer, then the students made a Balance 1 and 2 course, and we finished with a round of machine gun drill, head cuts only.
