Training Journal

A journal of my martial arts training

Class with Nate, Sabrina, Don and Nivalis. I started with a pop quiz on the six traditions while in seiza, then we had a short group stretch and they paired off for requirements. After the first time through, I had them switch partners and do it again while I did some of my own requirements. I then split the class into one-handers and two-handers, instructing the one-handers on Jumping Tiger 1 and the two-handers on Jumping Tiger 2. We broke after they had spent some time practicing both their new move and Thorn. The second half of class we did one attack parry. I first went through it with each individually, then created two circles with myself and Nivalis in one and started Nate in the other with Don. We rotated out partners so that everyone got to face everyone else. I ended class with them showing me what they know, then I demonstrated how requirements should be performed, doing a subset of my requirements.
