Class with Sal and Chris. Stretch and 100 logged full circle cuts (myself with one-handed steel), then requirements: Chris with Sal, myself solo with steel. We then did a focus session on Mantis and Thorn. At the end of the break, Sal took and passed his Green Braid evaluation, then we armored up and had 32 one-on-one matches and three rounds of three-opponent matches.
Class with Sal, Don, Chris. Stretch and 50 logged full circle cuts (me with steel, them with wood). Requirements twice through, first me/don and chris/sal, then me/sal and don/chris. After the break we did continuous opponent unarmored parry (twice each with an opponent and then they step out and the next steps in immediately attacking, cycling through each of the available opponents). We finished with balance 1 and 2.
Special Friday evening session with Hiroko and Ivan, plus Jerimiah joined us. Instructed Jerimiah on head and temple strikes, head blocks, kneeling iai 1 and standing iai 1. The rest of us also went through kneeling iai 2 - 8 and standing iai 2 - 8 and finished with parry.
Class with Chris, no call outs. All of both our requirements, a break, then Refined Strikes, thrust ring target practice, elevated cuts and blocks, logged full circle cuts (100 steel for myself), and ending with unarmored parry.
Class with just Chris tonight, Sal called out sick. We focused on tuning his Green Braid requirements and then had 25 matches of sparring for the second half of class.
This journal is a journal chronicaling my training in multiple martial arts. Two of the four organizations I am active with require documentation of a students training that it may be reviewed at the time of testing. I hope this journal will assist me in fulfilling these requirements, in addition to providing me a medium to intellectually explore what and how I learn.
This is a public journal, open to all that wish to browse it, however I will be very strict on comments. Any comments that I feel are off-topic or otherwise detrimental to the journal will be summarily removed without notice.
