GS, glad to hear that you're working the new guys over principles so well. The more I'm around combative situations, the more I realize just how important building a response pattern around principle rather than technique is. They can't start "getting" this soon enough.

11/25

90 min free roll. Out every other round. Some long rounds.

GS & MP, here is some footage of our own mini Post-Thanksgiving Day Purification (thanks LP for coming up with that). There's some open guard work and some excellent defense by my partner. Maybe it will be useful to you guys considering how good Brian is a breaking down footage.

[MasterPain]

Nice. Thanks for that.

Also, is that your basement? I'm jealous.

[tallgeese]

It is my basement. I forgot you didn't get the chance to make it up at the last get together. The other side is a weight room that's got at least the basics with a treadmill.

11/28

Drilled defeating the double under pass. Moved into countering via moving under one of the arms to triangle position. Finished the triangle. Then used same coutner to move into spider guard position. Tweaked spider guard work a bit.

30 min free roll. Worked thru some specific points with coach over X guard transitions and timing.

TKD class: 6:00 - 7:00. Basics, stretch, forms, one-steps, sparring. I spaced out the time between techniques in my form a bit, and it felt much cleaner upon finishing. My instructor also gave me some pointers on some U-shaped punching and kicking sections in the form to clean it up a bit, and give a bit more power.

Range

Night Qualification, with pistol, patrol rifle, and shotgun. Shot 50/50 with pistol (first perfect score ever!), 18/20 on rifle, and 10/10 with shotgun. Overall, a pretty good night. But any night spent throwing lead is a good night...
