10/22/2013 Defensive Tactics Day

Defensive Tactics Class: 10:30 - 11:30. Reviewed the self-defense material, mainly the choke defenses, and some of the ground defense they do. The students have their midterm coming this week, where they will be put through running some sprints to get the heart rate up, and then walk into the mat room and get attacked by a guy in Blauer Suit. I'm going to try to stop by and watch on Thursday for the some of the run throughs.

Defensive Tactics Club: 1:50 - 3:00. I was introduced to the pummelling warm-ups they use, standing with hands, without hands, and on the ground. Lots of fun, really, and gets you warm. After that, I got to teach again. I reviewed the UMPA, UMPA swim-and-trap reverses, and then I showed the elbow escape. Elbow escape starts from the UMPA reverse, and we switch to it when the bad guy on top bases out to block the reversal. After doing these, we did a mounted escape game, where the object of the person on top is to maintain position, and the object of the person on bottom is to either reverse or get a knee out from the elbow escape. It went well, everything flowed nicely, there were plenty of reps to be had, and it was a good time. It wasn't active rolling, but it was a nice active drill for learning positions and transitioning.

TKD Class: 6:00 - 7:30 pm. Taught tonight, but also did a little training since I have testing in December. Did some basics along with the class, but then stopped to focus on some of the kids the rest of the time. I did do Do-Kangs 1,2, and 3 before class started. Forms, I had 3 orange belts, 1 brown belt, and 1 recommended black belt (started class with 6 students, and lost 1 that wasn't feeling good). Spent time on one-steps, where everyone got good reps and practice, and I filled in to do low orange belt one-steps since we had an odd number, fixing some blocking issues. After one-steps, I got the clapper pads out, and did kicking combinations. First was back leg round kick middle, followed by back leg round kick middle or high. Next was back leg round, land forward, and hopping round kick. Last, I allowed each person to pick their own combination to do. I did back leg round kick middle, spin hook kick high. The rec black did a back leg round followed by a jump 360 inner crescent kick. Middle brown belt kid did spin heel kick followed by back leg round kick. Low orange kid did a back leg front kick followed by a hopping or jumping round kick. Low orange teen did a back leg inside ax kick followed by a back leg round kick, and the high orange teen did one I can't remember, but ended with a spinning heel kick. I think they enjoyed the drills, and it broke up class a bit, and I took part in these drills, as well . Finished out with some sparring, and I took time to stretch while the students got padded up.
