Class with Sal, Steven, Elijah, Jesse B, and Antonio. Stretch and paired off, myself with Antonio, Sal with Jesse B, and Steven with Elijah. I reviewed Antonio’s progress and instructed him on adding the three types and six traditions to his requirements, and then finished by instructing him on The Tradition.
After the break, we had Balance 1 and 2+, which was a difficult Student’s Challenge course. I initiated t with two of the 6×6 square cabers elevated and end to end slashing across the dojo, then told them to build the rest. I made it through the first time, and was ultimately the first to make two consecutive passes, of which only Steven finally managed near the end, too. I then took up guardianship of the elevated cabers and every student that made it to the cabers faced me in light, controlled, unarmored sparring on the cabers.
