Class with Sal, Chris and Charlie. Nate called out. I discussed the upcoming October events and highly recommended trying to make it to at least one day or weekend. We then did requirements twice through, with me reviewing Sal and Chris for their White Rope requirements. After a break, we did an awareness and reaction drill, placing partners approximately twice-ma apart, and then either one could initiate an attack motion and the other tried to beat them to completion using a different cut or thrust. We faced each other student in turn, the final time incorporating a side step in the responder’s movement. We finished with Balance 1 and 2.
