Training Journal

A journal of my martial arts training

Tag: dodging

  • Class with Bryce at my house. Either Bryce or I couldn't make the last few, but finally got class back on schedule. Stretch and went through our respective requirements. Took a break to setup for pumpkin cutting, then spent the second half targeting a couple pumpkins set up slightly under head level, and then cutting pieces tossed at us, with the final few rounds including Dodging 1 as we cut.

  • Class with Sal, Steven, Elijah, Dalton, Michael, Caleb and Nick. Stretch and requirements. I worked with Nick and Caleb, going over leg blocks with Nick and thrust block with Caleb. Before the break, we did a focus session on Thorn (new move for Caleb and Nick). After the break, we started with a few rounds of Refined Strikes, then Dodging 1 (I asked Sal to bring his bean bags), followed by 100 full circle cuts (bokken only), and finished with Balance 1 and 2 (including light contact facing off with Sal, Steven and Elijah on the raised beam).
