2/24/2014

Taught TKD: 6:00 - 7:30 pm. Basics, did some extra front leg front kick work from back stances, working on proper positioning and getting the kick off without shifting much or shuffling the feet out of the stance. Forms, more review, working on all colored belt forms except Hwa Rang. Broke them off gradually by rank for one-steps. Instead of sparring, we did some bag work on the kicking shields, front leg front kicks from back stances. Focused on good balance of the stance, not shifting the back or front foot when lifting to kick. The focus was more on the stance than the kick, but the shields helped to realize where the stance needed to be.

2/25/2014

Wrestling with Kendall: 3:45 - 4:10 pm. Worked with Kendall on stand-ups and switches mainly. We have our big club tourney this weekend, and then we are going to gear up for state.

3/1

Day 1 of Warrior's Weekend seminar. I'll have more posts elsewhere about the event. But I got a couple of hours training with some Dog Brothers MAs, Wing Chung, and then I taught a block of BJJ for JKD.

Suffer over broken toe for a bit and realize I shouldn't have hit up open mat. Lol.

Whew. Now I feel like I caught up finally!

[bushido_man96]

Rough deal, training with a broken toe, Alex! Hope it gets better soon for you.

2/26 and 2/27/2014

DT for Department: I taught two sessions for our deputies and jailers over two days. 6:00 - 9:00 pm on day one, and 7:00 - 10:00 pm on day two. I covered a lot of the GRACIE stuff, review standing punch blocks, disengaging, and getting into clinch and takedown from behind. Also worked 2 reversals with bad guy mounted (either choking/restraining or postured up and punching), and elbow escape. From there, we worked disengaging or getting to mount to restrain with an Americana. With the second class, I had a better group that really moved along, and we got to really cover a lot more stuff. We got into some guard work, praying out for Kimura, and the weapon retention version of Kimura from guard. I felt like we had some really good sessions, and the even better news is that the Sheriff would like for me to conduct monthly training sessions, so our guys and gals can stay somewhat fresh on the stuff. I know I'm missing something here that I went over, and if I think of it, I'll come back and edit.
