Training Journal

A journal of my martial arts training

Class with Sal, Steven, Elijah and Dalton. Stretch and then I started with instructing them on Kodiak, adding it as one of their moves. We then went through requirements for the remainder of the first half.
After the break, I spoke about chaining attacks and not giving our opponent a chance to recover. To cement the point, I had us work at our own pace, picking three of our practiced moves and chaining them together, shadowboxing.
I then talked about taking the initiative, not giving it to our opponent. The primary concept was to engage and immediately break the mah with our opening attack while our opponent is still plotting and thinking about simply sizing us up, instead of pausing where the the respective mah are grazing each other. To practice this, we rotated through several partners practicing advancing from range and immediately attacking without settling into stance.
Last we went through a full circuit of two-attack machinegun drill, making any upper level attack.
